9/2

Fair form when third in 2 bumpers. Given a considerate introduction to hurdling when fifth of 14 in maiden at Exeter (17f) in March and again showed some promise when 29 lengths third in 2½m event at Hereford the following month. Sets the standard, albeit not a high one.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Mrs C Williams

9/2

€68,000 Malinas gelding from the family of smart hurdle winner/top-class chaser (stays 4¼m) Minella Indo. Bred to need time and distance and shaped accordingly when third of 7 in 2m Chepstow bumper on debut in early 2025. Off since and market probably best guide ahead of hurdling bow.

Form: 3/

Mr Winter²³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryan Carver| T: C Honour

18/1

Little promise in a pair of bumpers but offered a glimmer more encouragement sent hurdling when sixth of 16 in a maiden at Exeter (17f, soft) in March. Probably one for handicaps later on, though.

Form: 946-

Valiant Soldier²¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

11/2

Soldier of Fortune gelding who shaped with some promise on all 3 bumpers outings last season but will be suited by longer trips in due course.

Form: 554-

Akrramm²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: James Murray⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M Bowen

100/1

Showed fair form on 2 of his 4 outings on the Flat at up to 1¼m for Roger Varian, but has been well held on his completed starts over hurdles and looks one for handicaps later on.

Form: P5

Passage Guenot²¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Cobden| T: P Hobbs & J White

9/4

€135,000 3-y-o Masked Marvel gelding. Dam once-raced 11.4f winner, out of half-sister to smart 1m/1¼m performer I'm A Dreamer and from family of Deutsches Derby winner All My Dreams. Runner-up sole outing in Irish points in late-March and since transferred to powerful connections.

Form: 2-

Kimai²⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Andrews| T: T Ellis

11/4

Form: 3/1-

Tottie's Moon^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: M Bowen

125/1

Pether's Moon filly who shaped like a stayer in a pair of bumpers and was well held sent hurdling at Worcester just over 3 weeks ago.

Form: 548

Forecasts

Passage Guenot (9/4), Kimai (11/4), Headofthevalley (9/2), Elusive Pb (9/2), Valiant Soldier (11/2), Mr Winter (18/1), Fromjago'stomilan (50/1), Akrramm (100/1), Tottie's Moon (125/1), Dontcontradictme (250/1)

PASSAGE GUENOT has transferred to powerful connections after finishing runner-up on his sole outing in Irish points back in the spring and makes plenty of appeal in what looks a winnable maiden. Kimai is another interesting recruit from the Irish-pointing field, having won on her second start in that sphere and joined a promising yard. Elusive Pb can prove best of the rest.
