Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: James Owen| OR: 105| BF

4/5

Fair form in bumpers and over hurdles in Ireland for Timothy Doyle. Found only one too good starting out for James Owen at Fakenham in May and should bounce back from a lesser effort at Newton Abbot the following month. Upped in trip and fitted with a first-time hood.

Form: U086-25

Golden Tiara¹³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

2/1

€45,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Special Tiara and fairly useful hurdler Accidental Rebel. Dam unraced. Unplaced completed start in Irish points but has been found a notably thin race for Rules debut.

Form: 6-U

Rhythm Of Life^p,t⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr James King⁽³⁾| T: T R George| OR: 100

5/1

Regressive for Gordon Elliott last season and hasn't offered much in 2 starts for current yard since returning to action.

Form: 13-3444

Well This Won't Do^t¹⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: Cynthia Woods

33/1

Winning pointer who went with little promise tongue tied in an Aintree bumper on sole outing for David Phelan in May.

Form: 4/1PP-9

Esther Spring¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

80/1

Unplaced in bumpers and well held on recent Warwick hurdling debut (2m). Most likely one for the longer term.

Form: 8-673

Forecasts

Dancing Dame (4/5), Golden Tiara (2/1), Rhythm Of Life (5/1), Well This Won't Do (33/1), Esther Spring (80/1)

A notably thin maiden and a good opportunity for the well-bred GOLDEN TIARA to get her Rules career off to the perfect start. Dancing Dame is the obvious threat.
