Crackerjack Queen¹⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis

80/1

Failed to complete both starts in points, having every chance when falling the second time. Well held in bumper but offered something to work on when fourth at Sedgefield on hurdles bow. Should do better somewhere down the line.

Form: F/94P2P-

Diamonds Galore²⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J HendersonWS

6/1

Had shown ability in bumpers but proved a disappointment sent hurdling at Huntingdon in February. Worth another chance.

Form: 623P-

Getawhisky²⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton

4/1

Sister to useful hurdler/smart chase winner One For Rosie and made a successful start to career in bumper at Carlisle. Respectable efforts at a higher leve since and type to do well over hurdles in 2025/26.

Form: 140-

Heron In The Park²³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: T R George| D

8/11

£280,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park mare. Closely related to smart 2m hurdler Glory And Fortune, and half-sister to 2 winners, including bumper winner Dramatic Pause. Won 4-finisher Irish point in December and looked a good prospect when winning bumper at Newbury in March. Likely type on hurdles bow.

Form: 11-

Highland Haven³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| BF| D

8/1

Fairly useful bumper winner last season and wasn't seen to best effect on her hurdling debut at Newton Abbot on return. Worth another chance.

Form: 1620-4

Driving Miss D'azy^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

150/1

Well held in junior bumper at Uttoxeter and novice hurdle at Fontwell.

Form: 0-4

Merely A Detail¹⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Bulgin

10/1

Belied a big price to make a successful debut at Doncaster in November. In nothing like the same form in 3 bumpers since but made a decent start over hurdles when second at Warwick in May.

Form: 1070-2

No Tricks At All¹⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

18/1

€125,000 3-y-o, No Risk At All filly. Half-sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Kazarov and fair hurdle winner/chaser in France Kap Sky. Offered something to work on when fourth of 8 in bumper (5/2) at Southwell (15.8f, good) on NH debut 155 days ago.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Heron In The Park (8/11), There Runs Mary (7/2), Getawhisky (4/1), Diamonds Galore (6/1), Highland Haven (8/1), Merely A Detail (10/1), No Tricks At All (18/1), Crackerjack Queen (80/1), Driving Miss D'azy (150/1)

HERON IN THE PARK looked a good prospect when beating There Runs Mary in impressive fashion in a Newbury bumper in March and can make a winning start over hurdles. Getawhisky is another promising hurdling newcomer who showed plenty in bumpers, while There Runs Mary is at least 4 lb better off with the selection this time.
