Sharp Glance¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 103

10/11

Fair bumper performer who didn't need to improve to land the odds in 6-runner novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 17 days ago, edging ahead near finish. Should be competitive under a penalty.

Form: 566-31

Teofimo¹³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: A Nicol

9/2

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger. Fair form when making late headway into sixth at Navan on his completed start over hurdles. Sets out for his new stable at a realistic level and must enter calculations. Has been gelded.

Veer^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 95

12/1

Forecasts

Sharp Glance (10/11), Pergamon (11/4), Teofimo (9/2), Veer (12/1), You Did (25/1), Jysuis (25/1), Kow Boy Sivola (33/1), Rightbackatyou (33/1), Getaway Frankie (40/1), Soldier At Arms (66/1), Knightphase (100/1), Hannigan's Power (250/1)

TEOFIMO shaped with promise on his first competed start over hurdles when sixth at Navan in January and could well be the answer setting out for a new stable if a subsequent gelding operation has curbed his headstrong nature. Sharp Glance should be competitive under a penalty, while Pergamon has made an excellent start to his hurdle career and remains open to improvement.
