Lord Forlife

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland

10/1

Prince Gibraltar gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including French hurdlers Mondieu and Elfy James. Dam, 1m winner in France, sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Jorobaden. Yard capable of readying a newcomer, so would enter calculations if supported in the betting.

Form:

Red One

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

3/1

Walk In The Park gelding. Closely related to smart hurdler/useful chaser Guard Your Dreams, stays 3m, and useful hurdler/chase winner Carys' Commodity. Very much one to note on debut.

Form:

Short Sell⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

8/1

£16,000 3-y-o, £40,000 5-y-o, Hillstar gelding. Dam, ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 2½m) Ch'tibello. Off mark in points at second attempt in March and has joined a leading yard subsequently.

Form: 31-

Cameron De Fiacre

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

9/4

Choeur Du Nord gelding. Half-brother to French chasers Canaille de Nonant and Leandro Nonantais. Dam unraced half-sister to French hurdler/chaser (winner around 2m) Chudamani. Noteworthy newcomer for a yard that does very well in bumpers.

Form:

Dernier Set

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

10/1

£20,000 3-y-o, Bande gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful 2m/19f hurdle winner Good Ball and fair hurdler/chase winner Moonball. Of obvious interest on debut for top yard.

Form:

Horethorne³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Freddie Gingell| T: J Tizzard

25/1

Geordieland gelding who is bred more for stamina than speed and was too green to do himself justice when a well-held third at Exeter on debut last month.

Form: 3-

Meli Melo D'angos³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: T H Weston

33/1

Joshua Tree gelding who offered little when eighth of 11 in bumper (11/1) at Hereford (2m, good) on debut last month. Will need to leave that initial effort well behind to play a leading role.

Form: 8-

Murphy D'oudairies²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey

14/1

€12,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde gelding. Dam, French hurdler/chaser (17f winner), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Pacha d'Oudairies. Unplaced sole start in point bumpers (Apr 19).

Form: 5-

Mysterland

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: David Bass| T: C E Longsdon

8/1

€50,000 3-y-o, Bathyrhon gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Ip Up, stays 2½m. Yard sent out an impressive debut winner at Warwick the other day, so strong market support would look significant.

Form:

Norff N Sauff

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

15/2

€24,000 3-y-o, Saddex gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Quick Sharpener. Dam, unraced, out of half-sister to useful staying chasers Boychuk and Golden Chieftain. Market for clues.

Form:

Roy's Jules⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: H Cobden| T: C Gordon

40/1

Mahler gelding who showed only greenness in a C&D bumper on debut in March. Probably needs more time.

Form: 5-

My Lady D'ex^t1⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: James Best| T: R Hobson

80/1

Has a good pedigree but offered little despite being sent off a single-figure price on her Newton Abbot debut last month.

Form: 9-

Cameron De Fiacre (9/4), Red One (3/1), Norff N Sauff (15/2), Mysterland (8/1), Short Sell (8/1), Lord Forlife (10/1), Dernier Set (10/1), Murphy D'oudairies (14/1), Horethorne (25/1), Meli Melo D'angos (33/1), Roy's Jules (40/1), My Lady D'ex (80/1)

An interesting bumper featuring some well-bred types from leading stables. RED ONE is closely related to a smart sort and could be up to making a winning start for his top trainer. Dernier Set, Short Sell and Cameron de Fiacre are also interesting on paper and warrant close market attention.
