2/1

Proving more consistent than usual but extended his losing run to 13 all the same when fourth at Worcester a month ago, already held when making a mistake 2 out. Eases in grade here so he really should be a factor.

Form: 8P-2324

Ballynaheer^p,t¹¹⁵

11/1

Quickly resumed winning ways at Market Rasen (3m) in April but that was a decidedly weak affair and he's failed to beat a rival both starts later in the spring. Had a breathing operation ahead of return but assessor looks to have him (runner-up from 14 lb lower in this race a year ago).

Form: 11415-5

Balkardy^p⁷¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 103| C

5/1

Completely lost his form after winning over hurdles at Ffos Las in June 2025 but refitting of headgear back over fences helped him stop the slide when runner-up at Newton Abbot in July (3¼m). Was flattered by proximity to the winner on that occasion and profile isn't convincing.

Form: 6P-U7P2

Flashy Boy^t⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Price| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 81| D

1/1

Confirmed the promise of his Stratford run when off the mark under Rules at Newton Abbot in August. Should probably have followed up back there on Friday, held back by a couple of significant errors and he remains one to be very positive about at this level.

Form: P-45312

Forecasts

Flashy Boy (1/1), Yes Day (2/1), Balkardy (5/1), Ballynaheer (11/1)

FLASHY BOY would have completed a quick-fire Newton Abbot double last week had he not made a couple of bad mistakes and clearly thriving from his low base, he makes lots of appeal. This represents a drop in class for Yes Day and he's the obvious alternative.
