Useful staying chaser for this yard, including runner-up in 2024 Scottish Grand National. Down-the-field in both starts over hurdles this season, latest is a stronger race at Cheltenham. Remains to be seen if he fares better with sights lowered/cheekpieces refitted.
|
Third in a strong maiden here before making the most of a good opportunity at Exeter (21.6f) 5 months later. Unable to justify strong support on his return/handicap debut at Newton Abbot last time but had some plausible excuses there and probably worth another chance upped in distance.
|
Veteran has a good track record, finished fourth over C&D (soft) last season but that proved a standout effort. Likely needed his reappearance over C&D (good to firm) but hopes of a revival rest on a return to slower ground.
|
Suited by stamina test when landing second-leg of a double on final start for Dan Skelton and did all she could following 11 weeks off when third on stable debut at Newcastle (23.7f) last month. Should hold her own in a better race.
|
Bumper placed on Rules debut and improved in maiden hurdles, getting off the mark on qualifying run at Ffos Las (20f, soft) in April, having raced with plenty of zest from the front. Placed horses both won subsequently and he's one to be interested upped in trip on handicap debut.
|
Placed on all three starts over hurdles at this course, latterly when third in a solid race for the grade over C&D on reappearance. Shaped better than the beaten distance when fourth at Bangor last time and merits plenty of respect returned to this track.
|
Winner three times last season, most recent success when winning a thin 0-130 off this mark at Wetherby. Has returned in good form this year and should give his running again.
|
Landed 15f Wincanton novice (heavy) in January but is bred to be stayer. Shaped as though in need of the run when well held sixth in a 23f handicap at Exeter on reappearance last month. Raced only on soft/heavy to date and will likely need plenty of rainfall to be more competitive.
|
Course winner (19.8f) last December and continued in fine heart thereafter, showing a likeable attitude in defeat when third in a Mares' handicap hurdle over C&D February. Too fresh on her comeback at Wincanton and she's capable of better stepping back up in trip with a run under her belt.
|
Fair maiden hurdler who won a minor event over fences at Le Touquet in 2023/24. Hasn't shown much starting out for this yard though and best to look elsewhere.
|
Bumper winner who opened her hurdles account at this track (19.4f) in March. Fifth in a very competitive handicap at Cheltenham subsequently but disappointed both starts since, including in tongue tie (retained) on return at Wincanton last month. Too soon to write off now tried over further.

Forecasts
Pyleigh Master (7/2), Getalead (4/1), Queens Venture (9/2), Idefix De Ciergues (5/1), Kayf Dancer (7/1), Love Of Neymore (8/1), Jena D'oudairies (12/1), Champagne Chic (20/1), Surrey Quest (20/1), Classic Concorde (33/1), Road Senam (50/1)
Plenty of pace on here but still worth siding with LOVE OF NEYMORE who showed a likeable attitude when third in a C&D handicap that has worked out well. She can make her second start of the season a winning one, while Idefix De Ciergues can maintain his record of placing in handicap hurdles as this track. The form of Pyleigh Master's Ffos Las victory has been franked and he's open to improvement upped in trip on handicap debut, while Kayf Dancer could be worth another chance.
