Much improved when easily landing 2m Kempton maiden hurdle but well below that level when fifth of 7 in Dovecote there later in February. Returns for his handicap debut now and shouldn't be written off.
|
A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser for Henry de Bromhead. Got back on track for his current yard when a clear second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 23 days ago. Weighted to go very well nudged up 2 lb.
|
Resumed his progress after 5 months off when cosily bagging 5-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) 58 days ago. Up 4 lb but not taken lightly.
|
Regressed over hurdles for Gordon Elliott and fared no better for his new yard after a 15-month absence when pulled up in handicap at Hereford (21.7f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Others are much preferred.
|
A dual 2m/2m3f hurdles winner in 2023/24 but off for 17 months since pulled up in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to soft). Since had a wind op and needs to hit the ground running.
|
Useful juvenile winner in France. Much his best effort for current yard on the back of breathing surgery when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Not ruled out.
|
In excellent form for his new yard, scoring twice in this sphere over C&D and at Stratford last term. Posted a clear second on the Flat at Kempton in April too so he must enter calculations on his return.
|
Looked a good prospect when landing 2m4f Aintree maiden hurdle last October but off since recording just a fair third in 2m4f novice at Market Rasen (20.6f, soft) 11 months ago. Remains with potential now going handicapping on his comeback run though.
|
Scored at Uttoxeter in July and not disgraced of late, third of 7 in 2m handicap hurdle at Market Rasen 23 days ago. In the mix off a slipping mark.
|
A fairly useful 2m winning hurdler but she's been off the track for 17 months since posting a good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good). Still merits consideration for her top stable.
|
Got off the mark at Warwick in February but well below par in three subsequent runs, tried in a change of headgear when beating only one at Chepstow (2m, good to firmt) 25 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.
|
Overcame some jumping errors when completing a hat-trick in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Lingfield (16f, soft) 8 months ago. Hiked up 10 lb for his return but still can't be dismissed for his in-form stable.
|
Arrives in decent nick without winning, seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Possibilities.

Forecasts
Inside Man (3/1), Andashan (10/3), Believitanducan (9/2), Bowmore (15/2), Meatloaf (8/1), Double Oban (9/1), Maitre En Science (9/1), Sunray Shadow (25/1), Notnowlinda (25/1), Vocito (28/1), Celtic Art (40/1), Douglas Dc (40/1), The Tide Turns (300/1)
A case can be made for a few of these but BOWMORE looks handily weighted on the back of his resurgent Market Rasen second so gets the verdict. Newton Abbot victor Inside Man is feared most, while Sunray Shadow, Believitanducan and Vocito all need factoring in too.
- Bowmore15/2
- Inside Man3/1
- Sunray Shadow25/1
