14/1

€26,000 Balko gelding. Half-brother to French bumper winner/hurdler Jewel Star. Was a non runner in the Cheltenham New Year's Day bumper intended debut. Wears hood. Interesting.

Koukeo¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: R P McLernon| T: Jonjo & A O'Neill

2/1

Didn't show much in a competitive race at the Punchestown Festival on debut but left that form well behind in calmer waters after 6 months off when second of 9 at Chepstow 19 days ago, no match for promising winner. Obvious claims.

Form: 0-2

Masterpiece³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies

5/1

Brother to a winner on Flat and half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Yukon. 14/1, third of 7 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) on return 38 days ago. Bit more needed to land this.

Form: 5-3

Forecasts

Koukeo (2/1), City Of Diamonds (7/2), Masterpiece (5/1), Driftwood Bounty (7/1), Travis Wheatley (8/1), Crazy About Her (12/1), Kids Say Lastgojoe (14/1), Norah's Legacy (16/1), Moveonbuy (25/1)

KOUKEO found only a good prospect from the Skelton yard too strong at Chepstow having contested the valuable Listed Goffs bumper on debut at Punchestown in the spring and this looks a good opening third time up. City of Diamonds, Kids Say Lastgojoe and Travis Wheatley are all interesting rivals.
