Hello Fortune³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

25/1

Soldier of Fortune gelding who landed an Irish point in October. 11/1, second of 5 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, good) on his NH debut 37 days ago. Flattered by proximity to winner there so needs to step forward.

Form: 231-2

Holeheartedly³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

28/1

Sea Moon gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including useful 11f/1½m winner in Germany Nania. Dam maiden on Flat in Germany. Sixth of 12 in bumper (10/1) at Warwick (16f, soft) on NH debut 39 days ago, not knocked about. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 6

Jamada⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: O Murphy| BF| D

10/1

Much improved when making third bumper start a winning one at Naas in April, travelling well and edging ahead in the final 100 yards. Failed to land the odds sent hurdling having transferred to a powerful yard at Sedgefield on return and shaped as if amiss at Plumpton 77 days ago.

Form: 471-25

Knight Templar^h1³³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey

12/1

Authorized gelding. Brother to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Implicit, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Full Back. Placed on first of 2 starts in Irish points, third when fell last on second one (Feb 2025).

Form: 3/F-

Sense Of Reason⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Fellowes

66/1

Fair 10f Flat winner who showed some promise when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 43 days ago. Can build on that but needs to.

Form: 4

Somkiyr^h1³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine

400/1

Fair on the Flat (at up to 13f) in France but he has offered little after 12 months off in a pair of novice hurdle this winter. Hooded.

Form: 55

Trapper John³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: Harry Eustace

66/1

Fair maiden on the Flat and did enough to think he'll reach a similar level as a hurdler at some point when fifth of 18 in at Wincanton (15.2f, soft, 25/1) on NH debut 34 days ago.

Form: 5

Unjeu Royal⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| BF| D

4/1

Bumper winner who posted a very good second of 11 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 58 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 1P-92

Wondering Why⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 117| D

5/2

Built on debut when making all in Huntingdon bumper in April. Left Richard Bandey after and promising start over hurdles when placed at Southwell/Huntingdon this season. More to come and needs considering.

Form: 51-32

Zamek²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 120

9/4

Promising third in a bumper for Paul Nicholls last season and shaped well again when runner-up on hurdle/stable debut over 2m at Lingfield on reappearance. Failed to build on that at Kempton next time but that was a stronger race.

Form: 3-24

Connies Hill^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Reed| T: Nick Scholfield

200/1

Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 2025) but showed little in bumper/novice hurdle.

Form: 31-99

Cayman Dancer³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore

4/1

A fair 1m4f winner on the Flat in October for Charlie Johnston. Made a promising start in this sphere when second of 10 in juvenile at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft, 11/2) 33 days ago, taking second late on. Sure to improve and rates a big player.

Form: 2

Kentucky River²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: R T Dunne| T: O Murphy

28/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 17f) for Ollie Sangster but low-key start for this yard on hurdles bow at Wetherby.

Form: 5

Shifra¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Phelan

250/1

No form in varied events on Flat.

Forecasts

Zamek (9/4), Wondering Why (5/2), Cayman Dancer (4/1), Unjeu Royal (4/1), Jamada (10/1), Knight Templar (12/1), Hello Fortune (25/1), Kentucky River (28/1), Holeheartedly (28/1), Sense Of Reason (66/1), Trapper John (66/1), Bluey Bay (100/1), Connies Hill (200/1), Fravanco (200/1), Gone Country (200/1), Shifra (250/1), Blazing Gaden (400/1), Somkiyr (400/1)

CAYMAN DANCER did good work late on starting out for this yard when second on hurdles bow at Newbury last month and shades the vote over Wondering Why, who is capable of winning one of these judged on his placed efforts at Southwell and Huntingdon. Unjeu Royal stepped up on his hurdles debut when second at Huntingdon and is another to consider.
