Ice In The Veins^h1³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| BF

1/9

A fairly useful bumper winner who has shown similar form over hurdles despite being beaten at odds on both times, going freely when fourth of 11 in novice at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Remains with potential for her leading yard with a hood added.

Form: 2-124

Kykorock^h¹⁸

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

17/2

Comfortable winner of sole outing in points but only sixth of 8 in bumper at Market Rasen on Rules debut in December. Shaped a bit better sent hurdling in a first-time hood at Taunton the following month but on the back of a breathing operation, he was never involved on reappearance 18 days ago.

Form: 1/68-8

Rightofway¹⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

12/1

Offered plenty to work on when fourth of 16 on her debut here in November 2023 but clearly had her share of issues to have missed all of 2024 and little in the way of promise on hurdles debut in April.

Form: 4/895-

Forecasts

Ice In The Veins (1/9), Lightfingered Jack (11/4), Moon Over America (3/1), Piping Rock (7/1), Kykorock (17/2), Rightofway (12/1), Poker Way (20/1)

Having won a point, MOON OVER AMERICA made a promising start under Rules when runner-up in a bumper in the spring. In good hands, he could be the answer upped in trip now hurdling. Ice In The Veins is open to improvement but that may come over 2m, so Piping Rock is feared most.
