Jorah D'alma^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 108

1/1

Irish point winner who came from off the pace to win a Ludlow bumper. Low-key start to hurdling career but much more like it fitted with a tongue tie when third at Bangor in March and not disgraced 10 weeks on from a fall when filling same spot here (2m) 15 days ago. Likely to stay beyond 2½m.

Mr Rafiki^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 105

5/2

Just modest form at best in maidens so far but it's possible he could raise his game over this longer trip.

Form: 44-44

Loman Lady²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| BF

9/4

Runner-up on final start in points before readily going one better in a Hexham bumper on first run for Dan Skelton. Flopped badly on hurdling debut there 8 days later but will surely prove capable of better.

Form: 47-216

Walkingtheline^h1,t1¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Benjamin Poste| T: S Cameron

66/1

From the family of a useful chaser and showed some ability in making the frame in a couple of Uttoxeter bumpers for Tom Lacey. Enjoyed some success in points for current yard following low-key hurdle debut but went with no encouragement back under Rules at this course recently.

Form: 21P-12P

Witheros Hill^p1,t⁴⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: K Brogan| T: L Horsfall

50/1

Milan filly who finishing last in a Listowel bumper for S. Curling in June 2024. Placed 3 times in points subsequently, though can only be watched on this return to Rules fitted with cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Jorah D'alma (1/1), Loman Lady (9/4), Mr Rafiki (5/2), Trigger The Light (5/1), Mirabello (11/2), Witheros Hill (50/1), Walkingtheline (66/1), Snow Is In The Sky (66/1)

JORAH D'ALMA sets the standard on his third at Bangor in March and receives the vote with the step up in trip likely to be within range. Loman Lady flopped badly on her hurdling debut at Hexham but will surely prove capable of appreciably better, with Trigger The Light also commanding respect.
