Well held in pair of bumpers at the end of 2022 and little impact in pair of AW contests in January back from a year off. Goes hurdling for new yard.

Timeform
One-time fair performer on the Flat but little impact for this yard, including in 2 maiden hurdles this summer.

Maiden pointer, fell last time (Apr 21). Fair jumps pedigree but plenty of improvement required now going hurdling.

Fair bumper winner who improved on hurdling debut form when third at Exeter (17f) when last seen in April. Should have more to offer this term and reappears in a very winnable maiden.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| BF| D
Warwick bumper winner who proved to be a disappointment for no obvious reason on his hurdling debut in C&D novice in June. Probably worth another chance on return.
|
Timeform
€80,000 buy for top owner from good French family. Easy to back and probably needed the run on debut in 17f Exeter novice hurdle 10 months ago. Not seen again after and might be brought along gradually.
|
Timeform
Fairly useful staying handicapper on the Flat, best run on reappearance in May. From the family of fairly useful jumper (stayed 3m) Lava Lamp, so plenty of hope for him now switching codes.
|
Timeform
Showed a fair bit in Chepstow bumper and 2m Ffos Las novice hurdle towards the end of 2022/23 season for Oliver Sherwood. More to come if all is well, but bred for further and might need this. The betting could guide.
|
Timeform
Fair form when making the frame in AW minor events on Flat in 2022 and showed a bit on hurdles debut nearly 2 years on for new yard at Perth (2m) recently, racing rather exuberantly and running out of steam. Could do better.
|
Timeform
£6,000 4-y-o, Hillstar gelding. Dam pulled up sole start in points. Market may guide for this newcomer.
Timeform
£15,000 half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Palmers Hill (2m-21f winner, by Gold Well). Made frame all 3 starts in Irish points, runner-up on latest (May 18). One to note on hurdles debut.

Age: 4|  Weight: 11-3| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds
From the family of fairly useful hurdlers Lisheen Prince (2½m winner) and Jumping Susie (stayed 23f). Made frame both starts in Irish points (latest Apr 27).
Timeform
Regressive maiden on the Flat and made an unpromising start to his jumps career at Newton Abbot (150/1) 6 weeks ago.
|
Timeform
Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Rhythm Is A Dancer (21f-3m winner). Fair handicapper on the Flat, looking a real stayer. She could have a future in this sphere and one to note.

Forecasts

Jafimgoso (2/1), Kissininthebackrow (9/2), Law Of The Sea (5/1), Norn Iron (7/1), Intrepide Sud (7/1), Elusive Shine (14/1), Sunninghill (14/1), Outer Banks (14/1), Jumper Madrik (16/1), Holeshot (20/1), Yourawizardharry (66/1), Timely Escape (100/1), Dreams Fled Away (100/1), Amico Amore (100/1)

Verdict

INTREPIDE SUD took a big step forward when third at Exeter in the spring and should have more to offer, so he might be the way to go returning in a maiden where strong cases can't be made for all that many. Jafimgoso was disappointing on his hurdles debut here in June but is worth another chance for his top yard. Market support for Norn Iron back from a long absence would need noting, while Law of The Sea could have a future in this game.
