Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: M Mullineaux

300/1

Regressive on the Flat and finished lame when a tailed-off last of 4 on her Haydock hurdling debut in March. Easily passed over.

Never Told Me^t⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Hogan| T: F O'Brien

9/1

Had a breathing operation after failing to land a bit of a punt on debut and duly showed much more in a tongue tie when eighth of 18 in bumper at Cheltenham in April. Of interest starting out for Fergal O'Brien and switched to obstacles.

Form: 78-

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

5/1

Point winner who garnered plenty of experience in Irish bumpers for Martin Brassil, failing to win but placing 3 times in 2022. Off 3 years, showed she retains ability when fourth on Market Rasen hurdle debut for new yard but the reopposing Appleshaw was ahead in second.

Forecasts

Joueuse Royale (6/5), Appleshaw (2/1), Saratoga Lass (5/1), Never Told Me (9/1), Chips And Rice (10/1), Brionywells (22/1), Elusive Feeling (50/1), Kottayam (80/1), Nanny Daisy (150/1), Artic Sting (200/1), Love Is A Rose (300/1), Hannahs Story (300/1)

JOUEUSE ROYALE should have a good chance of making a winning start for new connections if reproducing anything like the pick of her Irish form. Appleshaw can build on her Market Rasen hurdle debut second and provide the chief threat. Fergal O'Brien pair Never Told Me and Saratoga Lass may fight it out for third.
