Duhallow Storm¹⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball

4/1

€105,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam (c112/h130), dual bumper/2m-2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Ran below market expectations when fourth of 9 over C&D on debut in April but pedigree suggests he should prove capable of better.

Form: 4-

Havanotherguinness

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Lorcan Williams| T: P F Nicholls

5/2

£75,000 3-y-o, Nathaniel gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/smart hurdler Jetara. Dam (h94), bumper winner, sister to top-class hurdler (stayed 3m) Jezki. Makes obvious appeal on paper.

Form:

Irish Ocean

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

9/2

€55,000 3-y-o, Crystal Ocean gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Equus Dancer, stays 29f, and Boothen Boy. Bred to stay well.

Form:

Sea Glorya²²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon

9/4

€22,000 3-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Hola Hermosa. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Call of The Wild. Finished only fourth on his sole outing in points but has joined a respected yard and would have to enter the reckoning if supported.

Form: 4-

Vale Magic

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Adam Wedge| T: Mrs C Williams

22/1

€25,000 3-y-o, Goliath Du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful French hurdler Gold Cent. Dam, 17f hurdle winner, half-sister to very smart hurdler (stayed 2½m) Sentry Duty.

Form:

Moonlight Ballet¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner

33/1

Calyx filly who hinted at ability amidst inexperience when fourth of 10 in a C&D bumper on her debut back in May. Improvement needed now that she's up against the boys, though.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Sea Glorya (9/4), Havanotherguinness (5/2), Duhallow Storm (4/1), Irish Ocean (9/2), Delilah's Boy (10/1), Powerful Act (20/1), Vale Magic (22/1), Moonlight Ballet (33/1)

HAVANOTHERGUINNESS ticks plenty of boxes on paper so he's a straightforward choice to make a winning start. Duhallow Storm failed to live up to market expectations on his debut over C&D back in the spring but could be more of a late developer like his dam, so it's reasonable to believe he should prove capable of better. Sea Glorya finished only fourth on his sole outing in points but has joined a respected yard.
