Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

17/2

Not seen to best effect when down the field sole outing in bumpers and shaped well sent hurdling when third in 7-runner novice at Bangor (16.7f) 4 weeks ago. Open to improvement.

Form: 2/7-3

Flawless Clarity²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys

15/2

Runner-up in an Irish point. Showed a bit more than on hurdling debut when fourth of 6 in a novice at Aintree last month but needs plenty more to play a leading role.

Form: P2/P-4

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish

18/1

Hinted at ability on first of 2 starts in maiden hurdles for Declan Queally. Probably more one for handicaps after this run.

Form: 90-

Maitre De Perles¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

25/1

Modest maiden on the Flat who probably needed the run after the best part of 2 years off when fifth of 7 in maiden hurdle at Warwick (16f, good) 10 days ago. This will reveal more.

Form: F/5

Hope Rising²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| D

9/4

Fair maiden handicapper on Flat for Charles Hills. Undone by a howler on her Warwick hurdling debut but ran out a comprehensive winner at Southwell (15.8f, good) next time. Open to further improvement and the one to beat.

Form: 71

Mini Mario³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed| T: S Edmunds

22/1

Showed more than on debut when fifth of 9 in bumper at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Makes hurdles debut but could be one more for the longer term.

Forecasts

Trustintimes (4/5), Hope Rising (9/4), Flawless Clarity (15/2), City Of Diamonds (17/2), Justlikefire (18/1), Mini Mario (22/1), Maitre De Perles (25/1), Gusty (100/1), Miz Klimt (125/1), Kingston Joy (250/1)

HOPE RISING proved her hurdling debut showing a misleading guide as she ran out a comprehensive winner at Southwell last month and, possessing the physical scope to go on improving as a hurdler, she's expected to follow up. City of Diamonds and Trustintimes are considered the main threats in that order.
