Eddie My Eagle^h1¹⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Dan Horsford

12/1

Runner-up in point bumper in April and filled the same position in bumper at Stratford on Rules debut in May, doing well under the circumstances having still looked in need of the experience. Merits consideration on first start over hurdles.

Form: 2-2

Flag Carrier¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: James Davies| T: Brian Toomey

125/1

Fair handicapper on the Flat, with latest success at Chelmsford (7f) in March. However, has been let down by slow starts last 2 outings, sixth of 10 at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive tried over hurdles.

Form:

Glance At Midnight²²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Andrew Martin| CD

9/4

Progressive form in bumpers, off the mark at the third attempt when justifying support at this course in April. Bred to be a useful jumper as a brother to several winners, so he makes plenty of appeal on his hurdling debut.

Form: 051-

Haderach²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: Stephen Allen

300/1

Well beaten in 2 minor events on the Flat in 2024 for Charlie Fellowes and, after 16 months off, fared no better on stable/hurdling debut when pulled up in maiden at this C&D 20 days ago. Best watched.

Form: P

Hans Lippershey^h1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: C Gethings| T: B I Case

9/2

Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers, producing best effort when fourth of 11 at Cheltenham a month ago. Can give another good account as he goes hurdling with hood applied, though is bred to come into his own over longer trips.

Form: 3-24

Luwdvig²⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King

20/1

Showed ability in bumpers, placed on second of 3 outings, but beaten a fair way when sixth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (19.4f) on hurdling debut in March. Probably more one for handicaps later on.

Form: 03/46-

Oneinthewell⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Nathan Howie⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| D

20/1

Leopardstown bumper winner on debut, but well held next time and little promise first 2 starts over hurdles. Making first run since leaving Thomas Cooper, saw his race out a bit better when fifth of 11 in maiden at Southwell 8 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort.

Form: 19-P05

Unjeu Royal⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| D

5/4

Made a winning bumper debut at Southwell in February and shaped better than result on hurdling debut when ninth of 15 in novice at Chepstow last month, badly hampered by loose horse 3 out. Could be capable of making his presence felt this time around.

Form: 1P-9

Virtuose D'ainay³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: R T Dunne| T: T Gallagher

125/1

Favourite when third in an Irish point, but sent off at long odds (200/1) for hurdles debut and was pulled up in novice at Worcester in October. Has work to do.

Form: 3/P

Born A Rebel^t³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Owens

100/1

Fair handicapper on Flat, winning 2 of his last 4 starts on the level. Didn't get the race run to suit when sixth of 11 at Kempton (8f) on latest outing a month ago. Tongue strap wore on the Flat retained for her hurdles bow.

Form:

Rene's Walk^h1²⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton

9/1

Shaped as if in need of the run on bumper debut and duly stepped forward from that effort when fourth of 13 at Warwick in February. Bred to be do better over jumps, so she's respected for leading yard as she goes hurdling with hood added.

Form: 44-

Forecasts

Unjeu Royal (5/4), Glance At Midnight (9/4), Hans Lippershey (9/2), Rene's Walk (9/1), Eddie My Eagle (12/1), Oneinthewell (20/1), Luwdvig (20/1), Born A Rebel (100/1), Virtuose D'ainay (125/1), Flag Carrier (125/1), Haderach (300/1)

Preference is for GLANCE AT MIDNIGHT, who went the right way with each start in bumpers and opened his account at this course in April. He's bred to do better over jumps so can continue his progress to make a winning hurdling debut, though Unjeu Royal isn't taken lightly having not been seen to best effect on his hurdles bow. Eddie My Eagle is also one to note.
