Godfrey Bouillon^t³⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

10/1

Ran with promise when fifth of 12 in bumper at Wetherby in December 2024 and did likewise when finding only one too good sent hurdling with a tongue tie on at Kelso in November. Off since and that level almost certainly won't suffice here.

Form: 5/2-

Jimmy Jazz²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton

200/1

Second foal, brother to fair hurdler First Candidate (2m winner): dam (h99) lightly-raced maiden hurdler out of smart 2¾m-3m hurdle winner Material World. Low-key debut at Worcester and one for the longer term.

Form: 0

Legend D'airy¹⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| BF

10/1

€48,000 3-y-o, Motivator gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/useful chaser Issar d'Airy. Showed promise chasing home a useful rival who had an experience edge over him in a Hereford bumper in March. Not quite at that level 6 weeks later but he's in good hands as he now goes hurdling.

Form: 2-3

Rattlin Home²⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

2/5

El Salvador gelding who joined top yard after winning his sole start in Irish points a year ago. Ran to a high figure for a beaten bumper horse when second at Kempton in February and he's a useful novice hurdles prospect.

Form: 12-

Simonsberg¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Christian Williams

18/1

Tirwanako gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Sunshine Corner out of fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (winner up to 2¼m) Coolgreaney. Placed twice from 3 starts in Irish points and shaped well when third at a big price on hurdling debut at Chepstow 3 weeks ago.

Form: 5/32-3

Sittin Ona Fortune²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White

8/1

€19,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam (h101), bumper winner, half-sister to fair hurdler (stayed 2½m) Tiger Trek. Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points in April and has transferred to a successful yard.

Form: 3/U1-

Emral Bridge¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Tudor| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

80/1

Gentlewave gelding. Dam (c114/h111), 2m-2¾m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Rattlin. Debut fifth in a bumper at Bangor in April wasn't devoid of promise.

Form: 5-

He's A Terror

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

40/1

Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Slate House. Newcomer for leading stable but Rattlin Home is the first string.

Form:

On Subs¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Williams

200/1

No impact in 2 starts around a year apart.

Form: 8-5

Forecasts

Rattlin Home (2/5), Back To Sea (15/2), Sittin Ona Fortune (8/1), Godfrey Bouillon (10/1), Legend D'airy (10/1), Simonsberg (18/1), He's A Terror (40/1), Emral Bridge (80/1), Get Busy Jumping (150/1), On Subs (200/1), Jimmy Jazz (200/1)

RATTLIN HOME looks a useful prospect in this sphere on the back of a very encouraging start to his career in a bumper 8 months ago and he can provide Dan Skelton with yet another winner. Simonsberg exceeded expectations at Chepstow and is a danger, while point recruit Back To Sea also needs respecting.
