11/8

Most progressive as a 4-y-o last season, only denied a hat-trick by a useful improver at Punchestown in April. Picked up where he left off when winning a strong renewal of the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19f) on return. Further progress to come back up in trip and no surprise to see him follow up.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Josh Williamson⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 132

22/1

Fairly useful type. Backed up his breakthrough hurdle success at Naas with creditable efforts in graded company last season. Well held in the Martin Pipe at the Festival subsequently. Likely to again find his British mark beyond him, even with a recent pipe-opener under his belt.

Form: 214200-

Seamoon Story²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 128

6/1

Well-related sort who chased home Ballyfad (now very useful) in a point. Decisively off the mark with sound-jumping display at Hereford in March. Progressed again to follow up (2-2 under this claimer) on return/handicap bow at Uttoxeter (2½m). Hat-trick may prove beyond him in a deeper event.

Form: 2/4551-1

Hillberry Hill²³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 122

3/1

Chasing type who won a maiden at the second attempt for Ms Margaret Mullins last winter. Changed hands for £70,000 prior to easily defying a penalty in a weak Southwell novice (2½m) on stable debut in March. Likely to progress further and opening mark potentially lenient as he bids for a hat-trick.

Form: 611-

Sunny South West^h²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Michael Kenneally⁽³⁾| T: Edward F Power| OR: 121| BF

4/1

Useful bumper scorer. Off the mark on the Flat prior to shaping second best (took time to warm to task) when 4¼ lengths fourth of 11 at this course (2½m) latest. Could be better to come on just his third handicap start, with top Irish claimer again taking the ride.

Form: 11462-4

Give Him A Chance⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 119

14/1

Runner-up in last year's renewal of this race. Progressed again to notch a third handicap hurdle success at Naas (2m, heavy) in February. Encouraging comeback when 3½ lengths behind new stablemate Luck Between Us latest. Respected off higher British mark with talented 5-lb claimer taking over.

Form: 91S7-54

Forecasts

Daylatedollarshort (11/8), Moneygarrow (7/4), Hillberry Hill (3/1), Sunny South West (4/1), Grand Conqueror (9/2), Seamoon Story (6/1), A King Of Magic (8/1), Emerald Breeze (10/1), Give Him A Chance (14/1), Caspari (14/1), Luck Between Us (20/1), Guchen (20/1), Open Secret (22/1)

MONEYGARROW hardly damaged his stock when eighth in the Albert Bartlett here in March and looks very interesting tackling handicap company for the first time. He gets the nod over Daylatedollarshort, whose Silver Trophy form is proving strong, with Sunny South West, Hillberry Hill and A King Of Magic all lurking on potentially handy marks.
