25/1

Irish point winner who appeared to improve on form showed on bumper debut when fourth of 5 in a class 2 novice at Ascot (21.6f) 6 weeks ago. That was a steadily-run affair however, and likely he'll need to step up again. Rider takes off a valuable 7 lb.

Form: 521-74

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: T LawesWS

66/1

€40,000 5-y-o who was successful sole outing in Irish points (Mar 2024). Easy to back, went with little promise when pulled up in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) on Rules debut 64 days ago. Best watched on the back of that. Had wind op.

Form: 1-P

Johnny's Jury

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

11/4

€150,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Closely related to useful hurdler/chaser Danny Kirwan, stayed 3m and half-brother to 2 winners, including high-class hurdler/chaser Appreciate It. Lots to like on paper starting out for top stable and he's one to note.

Malinificent³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Daire Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex

6/1

£52,000 buy, runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 5). Showed promise on hurdles debut in a 6-runner 2m Leicester novice last month that should throw up winners. Bred to stay well and this longer trip promises to suit. Respected.

Form: U-23

Mountain Mike²³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Luke Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| BF

14/1

Mount Nelson gelding. Placed on sole outing in points and, strong in betting, shaped encouragingly amidst inexperience when second of 9 in a Southwell bumper (15.8f) back in May. Type to make his mark as a hurdler and interesting if market speaks in his favour on return.

Form: 3-2

Roe And Co⁴²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: Jamie SnowdenWS

16/1

€33,000 3-y-o, £58,000 5-y-o, Malinas gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (19f/2½m winner) City Theatre. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Nov 2023) and he's a Rules debutant to note with his yard enjoying a good season. Undergone wind surgery.

The Long Point²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 107

16/1

Won sole start in bumpers at Huntingdon in May and showed benefit of hurdling debut experience when fourth of 9 in a Hereford novice (19.7f) 24 days ago, one paced from 2 out but not knocked about. Very much the type to progress further.

Form: 3-144

Thunder N Lightnin^t⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Harry Derham| OR: 102

16/1

7-y-o who showed promise in pair of novice hurdles last winter and again showed encouragement after 10 months off when third in 6-runner novice at Kempton (21f) in November. Type to do better in handicaps, including over fences.

Form: 32/62-3

Frenelope³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland

100/1

Soldier Of Fortune mare who has offered little in maiden/mares' novice company at this course in recent months. Low-grade handicaps will be more suitable in due course.

Form: 00

Game Colours^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Rex Dingle| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 112

7/1

Showed benefit of a wind op when third in novice at Doncaster (19.4f) last spring and placed both subsequent starts, best effort to date when runner-up in a C&D mares' novice 4 weeks ago. Can play her part with a repeat.

Form: U2P3-22

Just A Rose³⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

9/4

Saint Des Saints mare. Dam, fairly useful 17f-19f hurdle/chase winner in France, half-sister to French hurdlers Christmas Rose (17f winner, by Montmartre) and Bright Rose (19f winner). Won sole start in points (Dec 2023) and she's a hurdling debutante to note for top stable.

King's Consort⁶⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Olive Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: G Nicholls

25/1

Youmzain mare. Dam multiple bumper winner/made frame sole start over hurdles. Made frame both starts in point bumpers herself in spring 2023 but she's probably best watched on this first start over hurdles.

Springtime Legend³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland

12/1

Shaped with some encouragement both starts in bumpers and, despite needing the experience, was noted keeping on for sixth in a C&D mares' novice 4 weeks back. Type to do better but another who could be more for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 456

Forecasts

Just A Rose (9/4), Johnny's Jury (11/4), Malinificent (6/1), Game Colours (7/1), Springtime Legend (12/1), Mountain Mike (14/1), The Long Point (16/1), Roe And Co (16/1), Thunder N Lightnin (16/1), King's Consort (25/1), Copper Jack (25/1), Gamblergo (66/1), Frenelope (100/1)

JOHNNY'S JURY makes loads of appeal on paper starting out for a top NH stable and with those boasting previous form not setting the tallest standard, he could be worth siding with to make it first time lucky before market clues. Fellow newcomer Just A Rose is another to note. Malinificent, Game Colours and The Long Point look best of those with previous hurdling experience.
