Paul Ferguson's Jumpers To Follow Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Bumped into a promising rival on the second of 2 starts in Irish points. Knew much more than he did in a bumper when making a winning hurdling debut at Warwick in May (2m). Found out slightly under a penalty at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago and same fate may well await.

Useful Flat winner, cheekpieces on for first time when thirteenth of 27 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f, firm) 46 days ago. In the right hands as he now goes hurdling and has the ability to be a major factor.

Postponed gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fair hurdler Dog Fox and 21f hurdle winner Special Dragon. Dam 8.6f-1½m winner. Looked badly in need of the experience when eighth over C&D 2 weeks ago.

€18,000 3-y-o, fifth foal: dam, lightly raced in points, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Three Faces West. Won sole start in points (Feb 2026) and joined yard that has a good record at this track.

Looks fairly limited after 3 Rules starts.

Mahler filly who made the frame on her 2 bumper runs last season before starting out over hurdles with a fading fourth of 7 in novice at Haydock in April. Had another breathing operation and didn't fare any better at Uttoxeter last month.

Successful only outing in Irish points and some encouragement when mid-field in a Ludlow bumper in December. Bettered that form when fourth of 10 at Southwell in April, though without looking straightforward and again displayed ability when third sent hurdling last month. Can progress.
