80/1
Workforce gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Waddingtown Hero. Dam unraced. Sean Bowen booked for NH debut and is worth monitoring in market.

€24,000 3-y-o, £60,000 5-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Air Drop, stays 19f, and fair hurdler/chaser Lime Drop, stays 2½m. Won third start in Irish points earlier this year and warrants plenty of respect on NH debut.

Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and made a winning start in bumpers in 17-runner event at Warwick (2m) in April 2023. However, yet to make an impact in a couple of starts over timber,

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King
6/5
Fairly-useful bumper performer who only narrowly failed to make a winning hurdling debut in novice at Bangor (16.7f, soft) 29 days ago. Likely more to come yet, particularly over this longer trip.

Horse silk
100/1
Showed ability in both starts over hurdles, latest when fifth of 6 in novice at Lingfield (19.5f, good, 100/1) 30 days ago. Will likely be seen in better light when sent handicapping, though.

Choeur Du Nord gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including French hurdler/chaser La Limagne. Third in sole start in points earlier this year but yard not known for its winning debutants.

Made little impression in Sandown bumper on NH debut 32 days ago but is bred for longer trips and is worth monitoring in market on hurdles bow.

Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree and finished down the field in a couple of bumpers last term. Can only be watched on switch to hurdling.

€11,000 5-y-o, Ol' Man River gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Star of Lanka. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 1m). Third on second start in Irish points last month but is likely a longer-term prospect.

Just modest form at best in bumpers for Thomas Gallagher this term and might be more one for handicaps in this sphere based on his first 2 starts for new yard last month.

Made a solid start over hurdles when second at Perth (20.2f) in May but below that level at Stratford 42 days ago and finds herself in a deeper contest now. Had wind operation.

Forecasts

I'm A Lumberjack (6/5), As The Fella Says (6/5), Saint Kristobal (10/3), Wednesday Addams (12/1), Check The Score (14/1), Libre De Choeur (16/1), Noble Park (28/1), Cauvicourt (33/1), Roxboro River (50/1), Beorma (80/1), A Force To Reckin (80/1), Kalhandrion (100/1), Noble Recall (300/1)

Verdict

I'M A LUMBERJACK made an encouraging start over timber at Bangor last month and looks sure to benefit from this longer trip. He can get off the mark. The chief threat may come from one of the hurdling debutants, with As The Fella Says of particular interest.
