Caballo De Guerra²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| D

15/2

Plenty of promise in bumpers and looked a good prospect as he spearheaded a 1-2-3 for his yard in 2m Kelso novice on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago, readily coming clear. Could be plenty more to come from him.

Form: 337-1

Give It To Me Oj²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 143| D

4/9

Progressive novice hurdler who signed off for last season with a huge effort off top weight to take a valuable 2m handicap at Sandown. 2-2 back on the level at Epsom in recent weeks and clear chance on these terms.

Form: 321411-

Hamlet's Night^h³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 125| D

6/1

Fairly useful maiden handicapper on the Flat and has quickly made his mark over hurdles, landing 2m contests at Stratford and Warwick last month. He has more to offer.

Form: 211

Loriko²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

15/2

Showed a fairly useful level of form on his hurdling bow when second at Auteuil in March. Easy to back and may have needed first run for new yard going without usual tongue tie at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. This should reveal more.

Form: 232-3

The Egyptian Ginge^h1¹⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Jamie Neild| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| BF

40/1

Fair form in bumpers last season. Certainly bred for the job but this is a tough starting point against experienced hurdlers. Hood fitted.

Form: 942-

Forecasts

Give It To Me Oj (4/9), Hamlet's Night (6/1), Loriko (15/2), Caballo De Guerra (15/2), The Egyptian Ginge (40/1)

GIVE IT TO ME OJ has outstanding claims on these terms on the form of his Sandown handicap win under a big weight. With race-fitness on his side after a couple of victories on the level last month he should be hard to beat. Caballo de Guerra was impressive when making a successful start over hurdles at Kelso 3 weeks ago and could be the danger.
