Modest maiden on Flat (stays 9.5f) and very much out of sorts when last seen at Dundalk earlier this year. Looks best watched now hurdling for new stable back from 9 months off.
|
Fell when clear only start in points but proved very easy to back starting out under Rules and he finished a well held ninth of 10 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 21 days ago. This promises to reveal more.
|
£90,000 on the back of success sole start in Irish points in March and he bettered his previous exploits in bumpers equipped with a hood (retained here) when landing 3-runner contest at Ffos Las (15.8f) back in February. Well worth a second look now hurdling on seasonal bow.
|
Went the wrong way in bumpers following a winning start last season and not for the first time finished tamely returning from 8 months off when a well held second of 11 in maiden hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f) 26 days ago. Drop back to 2m can likely see him in a better light.
|
Third in an Irish point in April and promise at long odds starting out in this sphere when third of 14 in novice hurdle at Stratford (16.3f) 3 weeks ago. Bred to stay well and likely he can improve on that effort, not least when stamina is tested further.
|
Nirvana du Berlais gelding. Dam, ran once over hurdles in France, half-sister to French hurdler/chaser (17f-19f winner) Ole Caballero. Wears hood for debut and interesting to see what the market makes of him.
|
A fair maiden on the Flat who ran to just a poor level when sixth of 10 on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter (15.7f) last month, not quite seeing his race out. Well beaten returned to the Flat faced with heavy ground at Newbury (12f) 24 days ago and he's probably one more for handicaps in this sphere.
|
€160,000 Beaumec de Houelle gelding who showed ability when third of 9 in bumper at Chepstow (2m) on sole start for Paul Nicholls back in April. Interesting now attentions switch to hurdling following 7 months off.
|
Flemensfirth mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Irish Saint and useful hurdler Welsh Saint. Dam 2m hurdle winner in France. Not short of appeal on paper starting out for top stable and she's well worthy of note in receipt of weight all round.

Forecasts
Kosac D'oudairies (6/5), Zamek (2/1), Legal Weapon (8/1), Coolkatie (8/1), Our Amigo (10/1), Out Of It (28/1), Roland Garros (40/1), Jackomy (125/1), Hialeah (150/1)
ZAMEK shaped with definite promise when third on his only start in bumpers for Paul Nicholls last spring and, having joined another leading stable ahead of his return/hurdles debut, he could well be worth chancing to come out on top. Coolkatie is another hurdles debutante to note for the Skelton yard, as is Kosac d'Oudairies who was a wide-margin winner of a small-field Ffos Las bumper when last seen.
