40/1

Telescope gelding who was awarded race sole outing in points but fitted with a tongue strap, he offered little when ninth of 12 in bumper at Chepstow (2m) 12 months ago. Pedigree certainly offers hope he can do better and interesting what the market makes of him now hurdling following wind surgery.

20/1

Castle du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to fair French hurdler Jimmy de Lille. Dam maiden over hurdles/fences in France. Of interest on his hurdling debut for in-form yard.

Diligent Militia³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: Tim Vaughan

10/1

€195,000 buy after winning sole start in Irish points (Oct 2024) and he made a positive start in this sphere when fifth of 14 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Chepstow (16f, good to firm) on Rules debut 4 weeks ago. Likely he can do better upped in trip.

Form: 1-5

Inishcorker¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis

11/1

Jukebox Jury gelding who got off mark in points at second attempt in February but low-key start sent hurdling when pulled up at Cheltenham (3m) 2 weeks ago, soon at the back of the field after some ponderous jumping. This can reveal more down in class.

Form: 51-P

Largy Panic²⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Ben Clarke

14/1

£28,000 5-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam (h92), maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 2¾m) Roger Beantown out of 2m hurdle winner Best Wait. Made frame on final 2 starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (Mar 2025). Betting can likely prove a useful guide now hurdling

Form: F42-

Minella Apprentice²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams

8/1

£45,000 5-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Won sole start in Irish points (Mar 2025) and did plenty to cement the positives then when runner-up in 3-runner C&D maiden hurdle 24 days ago, running green before last before rallying. Better to come, not least when stepping up in trip.

Form: 1-2

Mymilkman²⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon

8/1

€78,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Glen Cannel. Runner-up both completed starts in Irish points, pulled up last time (Mar 2025). Makes Rules debut for yard doing well with similar types and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant.

Form: 22P-

Neptune House²⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan| T: L Horsfall

200/1

Down the field in a pair of bumpers 9 months apart and again failed to settle when never involved on hurdles debut at Doncaster (19.4f) back in February. Probably one more for handicaps down the line.

Form: 884-

Southfield Finale²⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Godfrey| T: A J Honeyball

11/4

Hails from a good jumping family and having shaped quite nicely in an Exeter bumper last winter he again showed plenty to work on when runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f) back in April. Jumping will need to be sharper but he's certainly the type to do better.

Form: 42-

They Call Me Hugo²⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| D

13/8

€30,000 4-y-o, Doyen gelding. Dam (b66), ran once in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2¼m) Publican. Off mark in points with comfort at third attempt (Feb 2025) and he's a noteworthy hurdles newcomer representing an excellent stable.

Form: 3/21-

Forecasts

They Call Me Hugo (13/8), Southfield Finale (11/4), Sallyville Lady (3/1), Minella Apprentice (8/1), Mymilkman (8/1), Diligent Militia (10/1), Inishcorker (11/1), Largy Panic (14/1), Betgoodwin (20/1), Allstitchedup (40/1), Neptune House (200/1)

SOUTHFIELD FINALE cemented the positives from his bumper debut when runner-up behind a dual subsequent scorer on hurdles bow at Newton Abbot. From a good jumping family and looking sure to do better this term, he earns the vote over hurdles newcomers They Call Me Hugo and Sallyville Lady who represent leading yards. Minella Apprentice is another to note along with Betgoodwin.
