Monte A Bord⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby

6/4

5/1, shaped well when second of 8 in bumper at Kelso (16.2f, good) on NH debut 43 days ago, best work at the finish. This Awtaad gelding can build on it so he's a likely player.

Form: 2

Party In The Park¹⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton

2/1

€78,000 3-y-o, £30,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Viscount Gort and fair 19f hurdle winner House of Stories. Runner-up sole start in an Irish point in May so he needs considering.

Form: 2

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: P D Niven

13/2

Pether's Moon gelding. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/smart chaser (winner around 2m) Malystic. The market can guide.

Forecasts

Monte A Bord (6/4), Party In The Park (2/1), Connells Cross (5/1), Port Station (13/2), Prince Of Clova (13/2), Grazeon Sunshine (10/1), Ratemenow (20/1), Blazing Echo (66/1)

The market could prove highly informative but MONTE A BORD made a promising start when runner-up in a Kelso bumper last month and can build on it here to go one better. Jennie Candlish's new recruit Connells Cross filled the same spot at Perth on her first run back in May and could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Port Station and Grazeon Sunshine.
