Horse silk
Espoir Des Forges176
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR:  113
Made a very promising start over hurdles in 19f Warwick maidens in the spring, finding only a Willie Mullins-trained rival who'd taken in such races as a Greatwood and Betfair Hurdle too good when last seen. Should go well on return.
|
Timeform
£4,250 3-y-o, Valirann gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to fair 21f hurdle winner Once And Always. Dual point winner, third latest start in May 2023. Work to do on hurdles debut.
Timeform
Well held in Newbury bumpers and 2m Sandown novice hurdle. Can only be watched on return.
|
Timeform
Bred to stay well and plenty of promise in Exeter bumper and good C&D novice hurdle 6 months apart. Can surely win races, especially when upped in trip.
|
Timeform
Flemensfirth gelding out of a useful hurdler. Of interest on debut for leading yard.
Timeform
Successful pointer who made a winning debut under Rules in an Exeter bumper in April. Shaped as if needing the run on hurdles debut for new yard over C&D 3 weeks ago and should improve.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K C Bailey| BF
Reached the frame in 2 Irish bumpers at the end of last year and having changed hands for £120,000 in January, shaped as if needing the run at Cheltenham starting out for Kim Bailey (sent off favourite). One to note now hurdling, bred to stay well.

The Bluesman235
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| CWS
Expensive recruit from points and made short work of 3 rivals second time up in bumpers here 7 months ago. Has had a breathing operation since and good prospect for hurdling.

Devon Blue267
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-3| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott
17/2, well held in Taunton bumper for Victor Dartnall in February.
|
Timeform
Pether's Moon gelding. Dam, multiple point winner, sister to fairly useful chaser (barely stayed 3½m) Following Dreams.
Timeform
No show in bumper/novice hurdles.
|
Timeform
Telescope mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/modest hurdler Little Else. Dam 2m-2¾m hurdle/chase winner. One to note on debut given pedigree and connections (1 of 2 runners for yard).
Timeform
Successful on sole outing in points but looks more one for handicaps judged on her 2 efforts last month. Engaged 1.23 Warwick Thursday.

Sheeka Supremeh2
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-11| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris
Successful in Irish points in October 2022 but little show in 2 races over hurdles this autumn (hooded at Ffos Las on Wednesday).
|
Timeform
£20,000 purchase in the spring after finishing second in an Irish point on debut, was sent off at long odds but showed ability switched to hurdling at Exeter (66/1) 4 weeks ago.
|
Timeform
No show in a bumper and 2 hurdles earlier in the year. Engaged 1.23 Warwick Thursday.

Forecasts

The Bluesman (15/8), Seatoit (3/1), Espoir Des Forges (4/1), Nube De Trueno (8/1), Murphy's Milan (10/1), English Willow (14/1), Western Article (16/1), Far From Over (16/1), Prophesea (25/1), Following Chapter (33/1), Jewel Eyed Judy (66/1), Hill Of Scarriff (66/1), Devon Blue (66/1), Sheeka Supreme (100/1), Grand Sabre (100/1), Bestgetgoing (150/1)

Verdict

THE BLUESMAN won a 4-runner bumper here when last seen in April and looks a good hurdles prospect for Paul Nicholls. He's preferred to Espoir des Forges and Nube de Trueno in a maiden where the betting could be revealing.
