Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

250/1

Well held sole start in bumpers and on hurdles debut here 13 days ago.

Form: 50

Blazing Litten²²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: C J Down

100/1

Showed some ability when fourth in bumper at this course in early 2023 but not seen since and is likely best watched on hurdles debut for new yard.

Form: 24/522-U

Blowers¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: N J Hawke

300/1

Made little impact in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft, 200/1) on NH debut 12 days ago.

Form: 6-P

Colby Mayfield

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint

80/1

€15,000 3-y-o, £1,500 4-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Bronn, stays 25f, and useful 2m hurdle winner Workahead. Likely a longer-term prospect.

Form:

Eton Mes¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

17/2

Modest in bumpers but shaped better when fourth of 11 in novice at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Entitled to build on that.

Form: 35-94

Lasko Des Obeaux²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| BF

11/8

Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdle winner/high-class chaser Haddex des Obeaux and finished runner-up sole start in Irish points in March. Posted promising second of 11 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (16.1f, soft) on NH debut last month and looks the one to beat here.

Form: 2-2

On The Bayou⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: H Fry| BF

5/4

£140,000 purchase who won sole start in Irish points last year and posted encouraging fifth of 11 in bumper at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft) on NH debut 50 days ago. Looks a likely player on switch to hurdling.

Form: 1/5

Painted Wolf^h1,t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case

50/1

Off the mark at third attempt in points in April 2023 but finished last home on Windsor hurdles debut 25 days ago.

Form: 421/9

Stung By Tariffs³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly

16/1

Far from disgraced when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (17f, soft) on hurdles bow 38 days ago. Improvement is anticipated but he is likely to be seen in better light over further.

Form: 64

What A Dragon

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford

33/1

Dragon Dancer gelding. Closely related to a winner, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdle winner/smart chaser Gunsight Ridge and fairly useful hurdler Itwasfate, stays 19f. Market likely to prove best guide to claims on debut.

Form:

Bee's Kiss¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁵⁾| T: J D Frost

200/1

Point winner but sent off big odds and offered little in Wincanton novice hurdle 14 days ago.

Form: 3PP-127

Ourbrowneyedgirl⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner

15/2

Modest in bumpers and showed a bit when sixth in maiden at Ffos Las (15.8f) on hurdles bow in April. Never involved at Fontwell on return last month, however, and is more one for handicaps down the line.

Form: 8286-9

Forecasts

On The Bayou (5/4), Lasko Des Obeaux (11/8), Ourbrowneyedgirl (15/2), Eton Mes (17/2), Kiss Gold (12/1), Stung By Tariffs (16/1), Stowford (25/1), What A Dragon (33/1), Painted Wolf (50/1), Colby Mayfield (80/1), Blazing Litten (100/1), Bee's Kiss (200/1), Anothermanicmonday (250/1), Blowers (300/1)

This looks a good opportunity for LASKO DES OBEAUX, who made an encouraging start over hurdles at Chepstow last month and likely has more to offer. On The Bayou and Eton Mes may provide the chief threat.
