Wise Eagle¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: A Nicol| OR: 123

11/10

Very useful performer at up to 2¼m on the Flat who has completed simple tasks returned to this sphere, landing small-field maiden/novice contests at Musselburgh/Catterick with loads in hand. Big shout with prospect of more to come despite conceding weight all round.

Form: 212/11

Samwise⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 113

4/1

In the frame twice in bumpers in 2022/23 and belied a 20-month absence to make a winning hurdles debut in a Kelso novice (16.2f) in October. Good third at Wetherby followed 2 months ago and no reason why he won't give it a good go.

Form: 473/13

Authorized Mission²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR: 100

12/1

Never figured in trio of bumpers for Iain Jardine. Gradual progress over hurdles for new stable, readily surpassing previous exploits when second of 11 in a C&D novice 3 weeks ago. More needed if he's to go one place better here, though.

Form: 066-692

Bold Jury¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Paul Collins

14/1

Cheap purchase who was placed on his last 2 starts in points and showed a bit when sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) on NH debut 15 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 4F3-6

Glenville²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: Ewan Whillans

8/1

Down the field both starts in bumpers but much more encouragement when fourth of 10 on hurdles debut in novice at Ayr (2m, 100/1) 2 days ago. Could build on that but he'll need to.

Form: 054

Jersey Stream²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies

33/1

Well held only start in bumpers but hinted at ability following 9 months when fifth of 12 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Carlisle (17f, soft) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Still, he's probably a longer-term project.

Form: 0-5

Kids Say Lastgojoe^h⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond

7/1

Balko gelding who showed benefit of his initial experience and settled better ridden from the front when winning 5-runner bumper at Catterick (15.7f, good to firm, 13/8) 43 days ago. Should be up to making his mark now hurdling with Brian Hughes retaining the ride.

Form: 41

Mountain Molly²⁹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| BF

10/1

Mount Nelson mare. Won sole start in Irish points (Nov 2023) and having been sent off favourite, she found a slowly-run race no use when fifth of 8 in a C&D bumper on Rules debut in March. No surprise to see a better showing now hurdling after 9 months off.

Form: 15-

Forecasts

Wise Eagle (11/10), Samwise (4/1), Kids Say Lastgojoe (7/1), Glenville (8/1), Mountain Molly (10/1), Authorized Mission (12/1), Bold Jury (14/1), Jersey Stream (33/1)

WISE EAGLE arrives on the back of comfortable victories in maiden/novice events at Musselburgh/Catterick in recent months and he's fancied to concede weight all round and bring up the hat-trick. Samwise rates next best, ahead of hurdling debutantes Kids Say Lastgojoe and Mountain Molly.
