American Trio^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Hogan| T: F O'Brien

150/1

No great shakes between the flags (0-8 in that sphere) and showed nothing on hurdles debut last week.

Form: 654UP0

Below The Belt¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: David Bass| T: M Comley

50/1

Modest third in a Lingfield bumper (2m) in December, seemingly found wanting for a change of pace. Up in trip for hurdles debut and never involved at Hereford 10 days ago.

Form: 938

Constellation Walk^h,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryan Carver| T: H Fry| OR: 111

2/1

Lightly-raced son of Walk In The Park who caught the eye when a patiently-ridden third of 18 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) in December. Too free to make a significant impact on handicap debut last month and this big field may help him settle.

Form: 0-44634

Drumlee Orders^t1⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Cannon| T: Kerry Lee

33/1

£30,000 5-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Too Much To Ask. Dam, fair 2m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Zemsky. Third sole start in Irish points but low-key Rules debut at Ludlow (21.3f) in January. Tongue tie fitted.

Form: 3-9

Dutch Corner^h,t⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 115

13/8

Well-related sort who made an encouraging start to his career when third in an 11-runner Warwick bumper (2m) a year ago. Occupied same spot both starts over hurdles despite failing to settle in a hood and that form puts him right in the mix.

Form: 3-33

Elusive Pb^t,h³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: Nick Scholfield

9/1

Elusive Pimpernel gelding out of an unraced sister to unreliable but useful hurdler/chaser Out Sam and half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Honest John. Hooded and promise both bumper starts this winter, third on each occasion. Of interest on hurdles debut.

Form: 33

I'm Wide Awake³²

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

7/1

Fair form when placed in all 3 bumpers (soft/heavy). Should be up to making an impact over hurdles but effort flattened out on first try at Chepstow last month.

Form: 2237

Inkaman^t⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

50/1

Didn't shape badly sole start in a Flat maiden for Alan King back in May 2023. Gelded and had breathing operation in lengthy absence after and showed nothing sent hurdling tongue tied last month.

Form: P

Karpenn³⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V WilliamsWS

8/1

Fair form over hurdles in France where also third on chasing debut when last seen a year ago. Has left J. Delaunay and had a breathing operation ahead of British debut.

Form: F3253-

My Boy Aaron²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: R Stephens| OR: 110

7/1

Fair form shown in a trio of bumpers and on the back of a couple of heavy defeats over hurdles, he showed much more after a breathing operation when third at Newbury last month. Shade better than the result too, so he's now of major interest.

Form: 46/2-053

Play On Court^b1⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss Megan Bevan⁽⁷⁾| T: H Dickin

150/1

Looks limited on early evidence. Blinkers fitted.

Form: 06P

Southfield Finale¹²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball

5/1

Hails from a good jumping family and having shaped quite nicely in a course bumper last winter he again showed plenty to work on when runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f) back in April. Held back by mistakes when not in the same form at Ffos Las 7 months later.

Form: 42-5

Wozitworththewait⁶⁰⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Godfrey| T: J Tickle

150/1

Linda's Lad gelding. Dam ran once in bumper/made frame sole start over hurdles. Big price and well held in a bumper back in July 2024. Off since.

Form: 9-

Honey Haze²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Ring| T: P C Dando

150/1

Jack Hobbs mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler Beau Haze. Dam bumper/2m-2¾m hurdle winner. Pulled up on last month's belated debut.

Form: P

Mrs Pen¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Chad Bament⁽⁷⁾| T: T Dennis

150/1

€8,000 3-y-o, Imperial Monarch mare. Closely related to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser Above Board. Second completed start in point. 300/1, tailed off on hurdles debut over C&D 11 days ago.

Form: 2-P0

Signore Enzo²²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: C Gethings| T: K Bishop

150/1

Half-brother to fair hurdler Intifadah (2m winner, by Intikhab). Well held in 2 minor events on Flat.

Forecasts

Dutch Corner (13/8), Karpenn (7/2), Constellation Walk (9/2), My Boy Aaron (6/1), Southfield Finale (15/2), Elusive Pb (8/1), I'm Wide Awake (14/1), Drumlee Orders (50/1), Below The Belt (50/1), Inkaman (50/1), Wozitworththewait (100/1), Signore Enzo (100/1), American Trio (100/1), Mrs Pen (200/1), Play On Court (200/1), Honey Haze (250/1)

MY BOY AARON showed much more than previously over hurdles on the back of a breathing operation when third at Newbury a month ago and on that evidence, he can win a maiden hurdle such as this. Dutch Corner looks the chief threat, though Karpenn needs checking in the betting starting out for Venetia Williams.
