Dance Ifyoucan¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones| T: K Woollacott

Second foal, dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Tagula Blue. Winning pointer, fell last time (May 2026).

Horethorne¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Freddie Gingell| T: J Tizzard

Geordieland gelding who has merely hinted at ability in a couple of bumpers and a novice hurdle.

Form: 3-07

Jeu Magic

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

€35,000 3-y-o, second foal, dam runner-up sole start over hurdles in France. May just need this initial experience.

Just Jaffa

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber| T: Kathy Turner

Third foal, dam (h82) point winner/maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m). Not an obvious type on paper.

Moonrise Monarch

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Pritchard| T: P Hobbs & J White

Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdle/useful chase winner Tarada and fairly useful hurdler Marada (2m winner). Dam (c137/h127) 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner. Newcomer for successful yard so has to command respect.

Order On Time²¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: P F Nicholls| CD

Bought for £200,000 after finishing runner-up on sole start in Irish points. Sent off 6/5 and looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience to make a winning start in 11-runner bumper here in April. May outclass these on hurdling debut.

Form: 21-

Plan De Stan¹⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: T Symonds

Planteur gelding who finished runner-up both starts in bumpers at Hereford last season. Nowhere near that level on hurdling debut in May.

Form: 22-6

Stagge Hyll³¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

Sent off 200/1 but debut fifth of 7 at Doncaster last December wasn't devoid of promise.

Form: 5-

St James's Finest²⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam (c128/h121) 2¾m/3m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 27f). Bred to stay well but displayed enough speed to make second bumper start a winning one at Windsor in January. Second that day won next time and he has to be of interest for all-conquering yard now hurdling.

Form: 41-

The Two Four²²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

Westerner gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Saddle Her Up. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 17f hurdle winner Ciandarragh. Runner-up on his only start in Irish points in March but stable normally employs a patient approach.

Timmie Two²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryan Carver| T: I Chanin

Sea Moon gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Oh Land Abloom. Runner-up in a point bumper and shaped like a stayer in a bumper at Exeter for L.Jefford.

Form: 23-

Lady Bam¹⁰

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

Irish point winner who made an encouraging start to her career under Rules when third of 8 in a heavy-ground bumper at Hexham back in March. Looks a handicap project over hurdles.

Form: 613-80

Forecasts

Order On Time (11/8), St James's Finest (9/4), Moonrise Monarch (10/3), Plan De Stan (14/1), The Two Four (14/1), Aye Over Tee (20/1), Jeu Magic (25/1), Timmie Two (50/1), Just Jaffa (50/1), Dance Ifyoucan (66/1), Stagge Hyll (66/1), Horethorne (100/1), Lady Bam (150/1)

Highly likely that this will be dominated by bumper winners ORDER ON TIME and St James's Finest. Both looked useful last season with the former arguably slightly more impressive in victory, so he's marginally preferred. Moonrise Monarch also represents a successful yard so needs considering.
