Bacardi Blue²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryan Carver| T: D Summersby

200/1

Inexpensive purchase who went with little encouragement in a Newton Abbot bumper on debut last September and now switches to hurdles.

Form: 55-2

Fiskardo^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: M Bowen| D

3/1

Having won a Perth bumper on the back of a significant absence, he made an encouraging hurdling debut when runner-up to a good one for the time of year at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago and looks the one they all have to beat.

Form: 32/1-2

Just Call Me Buzz²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 102

9/2

Showed more speed than previously when going close in a messy race over C&D second time up over hurdles, and while that was a step forward, this looks a stronger maiden.

Form: 8353-2

Minella Blizzard^p1⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien

150/1

Pulled up sole start in Irish points and showed nothing on Rules debut at Uttoxeter last week. Cheekpieces added.

Form: P-5

Purple Owl^t⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 103

4/1

Placed twice over 2m in a novice/maiden at Uttoxeter last winter but he ran even worse than on his handicap debut (having had a breathing operation in the interim) when pulled up at Southwell in late-March.

Form: 5/2530P-

Dancingondiamonds^t¹⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| BFWS

10/1

Cost €220,000 as a 2-y-o but only ran to a fair level in a pair of maidens for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Has undergone a breathing operation since last seen in January (also wears first-time tongue strap) and needs a close look in the betting now sent hurdling by excellent new yard.

Form:

Mystic Wind^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

7/2

€32,000 3-y-o, Jeu St Eloi gelding. Dam placed in bumpers/ran once over hurdles in France, out of half-sister to fairly useful French 2m hurdler/chaser Bete A Bon Dieu. Leading yard continues in tremendous form, and he looks an interesting newcomer, especially if supported. Wears hood.

Form:

Kernie D'airy^t1³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

10/3

Purchased for £155,000 after winning a French bumper but went backwards from her hurdle debut second when well held at Fakenham last time. She's clearly still learning, though, and is likely worth another chance with first-time tongue strap now added by her in-form stable.

Form: 10/2-6

Non-Runners

Angel Of My Dreams²⁵

Weight: 10-11| Age: 5

T: D Killahena & G McPherson J: Nick Slatter

Forecasts

Fiskardo (3/1), Kernie D'airy (10/3), Mystic Wind (7/2), Purple Owl (4/1), Just Call Me Buzz (9/2), Dancingondiamonds (10/1), Angel Of My Dreams (33/1), Minella Blizzard (150/1), Bacardi Blue (200/1)

Likely improver FISKARDO is fancied to go one better than on his first start over hurdles at Ffos Las. Expensive bumper winner Kernie D'Airy will be a danger if building on her hurdles debut at the second attempt, while Mystic Wind is a notable newcomer for the red-hot Skelton yard.
