3/1

Point winner who improved with each of his four runs over hurdles last term, emphatic winner of 10-runner novice at Perth (20.2f, soft) in April. Has more to offer, especially up in trip. Big player.

Blue Indigo¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Gary Rutherford

125/1

Soundly beaten sole completed start between the flags and will need to step on what he's shown in a couple of runs under Rules in order to play a role.

Form: 5S-64P

Ellistrin Bay²¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: D W Whillans

100/1

9/1 and green when an encouraging third of 5 in bumper here 7 months ago. This son of Clovis Du Berlais gelding can't be dismissed on his hurdles debut stepping up in trip.

Form: 3-

Humble Jumble³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Power⁽⁵⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| C

18/1

Made a winning start in bumper here last November but has disappointed both runs since, only 11th on his hurdles debut in 2m novice here last month. Needs to take a major step forward.

Form: 19-0

Kelvin Forlonge³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

12/1

Has shown promise in a pair of bumpers and over hurdles, hindered by a bad mistake 3 out when fifth of 9 in 2m5f novice here 34 days ago. Remains with potential for good yard.

Form: 354-5

Tamarind Bay²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: M Bowen| OR: 114

9/4

Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs but got back on track when fourth of 8 in novice at Hexham (16.2f, good) 28 days ago. One to consider back up in trip.

Form: 27-33P4

Walks The Talk^h⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Slevin| T: J C McConnell

5/4

Walk In the Park mare who made a promising start in this sphere when making all in 16-runner novice (7/2) at Roscommon (20.2f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Should have more to offer. Merits serious consideration.

Form: 1-3241

Forecasts

Walks The Talk (5/4), Tamarind Bay (9/4), Scarlet Jet (3/1), Country Code (10/1), Kelvin Forlonge (12/1), Humble Jumble (18/1), Ellistrin Bay (100/1), Blue Indigo (125/1)

SCARLET JET ended last term firmly on the up over hurdles and is taken to add to his commanding Perth victory in the spring on his seasonal return. Irish challenger Walks The Talk rates a big danger though on the back of her own impressive Roscommon success, while hurdling newcomer Country Code also needs considering for a yard which has taken the past two runnings of this.
