Very green when pulled up in novice hurdle at Chepstow on Rules debut earlier this month but proved a different proposition when running out longest-priced winner in history of British racing in an Exeter maiden (16.7f) last month. Task will be to back that up turned out only 3 weeks later.
|
Wide-margin point winner who looked smart when following up in a C&D bumper in March and overcame inexperience after 7 months off to maintain his 100% record in a 20f maiden back here in October. Looks sure to be suited by a stronger gallop and big shout under a penalty.
|
Posted fairly-useful form when winning 12-runner bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) this time last year and plenty of encouragement to glean from his reappearance third in a Warwick maiden (2m) 7 weeks ago. That form has been franked and he merits serious consideration with improvement forthcoming.
|
80/1 when well held in Hereford bumper in November 2024. Likely outsider now hurdling 13 months on.
|
Reached the frame in a pair of 2m Chepstow bumpers at the beginning of 2025. That suggests he should have a future over jumps but he might be best watched this time.
|
€13,000 3-y-o, Creachadoir colt. Dam, placed over hurdles in France, half-sister to dual Ryanair Chase winner (stayed 3m) Allaho. Never involved when eleventh of 14 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good) on NH debut 44 days ago. Makes hurdles debut.
|
Well held in both attempts over hurdles 6 months apart last year and low-grade handicaps promise to be more her thing moving forward.
|
125/1, beaten over 25 lengths when seventh of 18 in Wincanton maiden hurdle on debut 23 days ago.
|
Big prices and showed little in novice/maiden hurdles late last year. Can only be watched.
|
Third sole start in point bumpers but weakening when short of room in a Worcester bumper back in the spring. Best watched now hurdling after 8 months off.
|
£30,000 6-y-o, Kingston Hill mare. Sister to fair hurdler/chaser My Gift To You, stays 29f. Dam unraced. Easy winner of sole start in Irish points and worth a precautionary market check on Rules debut.

Forecasts
Bossman Jack (10/11), Starzand (6/5), Blowers (9/1), Emerald Breeze (12/1), Spring Serenade (50/1), Sun And Rain (80/1), Man Maid (125/1), Silver Gale (150/1), Commander Teddy (250/1), Rest Is The Best (300/1), Half Pint Daisy (300/1)
BOSSMAN JACK shaped with plenty of promise in a strong-looking maiden on return/hurdles bow at Warwick 7 weeks ago and, sure to progress, Dan Skelton's charge looks to hold serious claims of opening his account here. That said, the penalised Starzand arrives unbeaten in points/under Rules and he's the lead threat with further improvement on the cards. Shock Exeter scorer Blowers can fill the frame.
