Dream Diamond⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Alex Chadwick⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 120

2/5

Proved consistent over hurdles in Ireland, making the frame in all 5 starts. Below best over longer trip at Wexford latest but has since joined James Owen and looks a likely player here.

Form: 267-333

Just Jenson

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: M Comley

66/1

Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m). Likely one for longer term.

Form:

Ker D'oudairies⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

100/1

Took a step forward when fifth of 8 in novice hurdle (50/1) over C&D in June but will likely be seen in better light when handicapping over longer trips.

Form: 55

Mount Anglesby^t¹⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 112

4/1

Fair hurdler. Failed to stay when tenth of 15 in handicap at Sligo (25.7f, soft) in October. Dual point winner since. Now in care of Alastair Ralph and has the form to play a part here.

Form: 260131-

Penzance¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: P Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon

9/2

Useful Flat winner who wasn't seen to best effect at Windsor earlier this month. Goes hurdling now and must be taken seriously, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.

Form:

Wingmann^t,p1²¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I CaseWS

100/1

Offered little in bumpers or a trio of attempts over hurdles last season and can only be watched on return here. Cheekpieces on for first time/had wind operation.

Form: 076PP-

Mini Mario¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Reed| T: S Edmunds

33/1

Shaped better than previously in this sphere when fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at this course (20f, good) 11 days ago. May do better yet but has something to find with principals here.

Form: 0-58U5

The Kings Soldier³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J Stevenson⁽⁷⁾| T: Tracey Leeson

300/1

Pulled up sole start in points and made little impression on bumper debut for Robbie Llewellyn at this course last month. Goes hurdling for new yard now.

Form: P5

Little Wren²⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton

20/1

No impact in Carlisle bumper on NH debut 8 months ago. Since joined Dan Skelton, though, and is worth a second look in market on yard/hurdles bow.

Form: 6-

Richieandsams Lady¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Jones| T: Sheila Lewis

66/1

Point winner who made a successful start to her Rules career in a 2¼m Sligo bumper for Brendan Walsh last month. However, ran poorly on recent hurdling debut for new yard here.

Form: U3P-210

Forecasts

Dream Diamond (2/5), Mount Anglesby (4/1), Penzance (9/2), Diamond Geezer (8/1), Little Wren (20/1), Mini Mario (33/1), Richieandsams Lady (66/1), Just Jenson (66/1), Wingmann (100/1), Ker D'oudairies (100/1), The Kings Soldier (300/1)

DREAM DIAMOND produced his best form over this trip in Ireland and is taken to make a successful debut for James Owen. Diamond Geezer remains open to improvement and is feared most, whilst Shark Hanlon's hurdling debutant Penzance also warrants plenty of respect.
