£90,000 4-y-o, Masterstroke gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) By The Boardwalk. Easily won sole start in points in April 2025. Noteworthy hurdling debutant.

13/2

€9,000 4-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chase winner Dgalwaygallivantor. Comfortable winner in point in April so he's not out of things on hurdles debut equipped with cheekpieces.

Cheekpieces on but he still looked in need of the experience when sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Warwick (19f) 13 days ago. May do better still.

Forecasts

Outmaster (1/5), Bold Step (9/4), Name Me Nicely (3/1), Double Tiger (6/1), River Don (13/2), Lirone Du Seuil (8/1), Style De Folie (14/1), Jubertilee (25/1), Alberts Bay (25/1), At Sunrise (150/1)

NAME ME NICELY holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to get off the mark now dropped into maiden company on the back of a very good handicap second at Newbury. Nicky Henderson's hurdling newcomer Bold Step appeals as the chief threat after a promising bumper second at Exeter, with Double Tiger and Outmaster also worthy of consideration.
