Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| D

2/1

Didn't achieve much in bumpers last season but a different proposition switched to hurdles on his reappearance, making all in a 2m Chepstow novice. Not disgraced at Cheltenham next time (went too hard) and definite player here.

Form: 95-13

Starcrossed Lover³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: James Bowen| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120| D

1/2

Promising individual. First run since leaving Colm Murphy and 4/1, won 11-runner novice hurdle at Windsor (16f, good to soft) 31 days ago, soon clear. Should progress further and worth a chance to defy the penalty.

Form: 231

King Ulanda²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| D

25/1

Landed a gamble in Huntingdon bumper in May for Tom Weston but yet to build on that over hurdles. Will be of more interest in handicaps.

Form: 165

Midnight View

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard

50/1

Telescope gelding. Dam (c127/h118) 19f/21f hurdle/chase winner. Likely to need some time to get the hang of things.

Renoir²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Kimber| T: Ben Clarke

14/1

Made an encouraging bumper debut for Ian Williams when third of 9 at Bangor in April 2023. Yet to build on that, showing only minimal encouragement on hurdling debut. Arrives on the back of a good effort on the Flat, though, and has potential in this sphere.

Form: 3/8-2

Soldier Dan¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

150/1

Placed on 2 of 5 starts in points but has shaped like more of a handicap project so far over hurdles.

Form: PP3F/87

Sonic Gold⁶⁶²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Brendan Powell| T: J G M O'Shea

150/1

Runner-up sole start in points but no promise so far under Rules. Off 22 months.

Form: 200P/

Tracking Treasure⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: R Patrick| T: M Sheppard

125/1

Unplaced both starts in points and failed to beat a rival in a bumper at Fairyhouse for Mary Doyle. Hard to fancy on debut for new yard.

Form: 467

Washington Singer⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Reed| T: C Gordon

50/1

Some encouragement when third in a bumper at Wincanton but form is ordinary and he was unable to back it up at Uttoxeter 6 months later. Hard to make a strong case for back from a short break.

Form: 3-8

Cinderello²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales

200/1

Well held in 2 bumpers and she was beaten a long way starting out over hurdles here last month.

Form: 599

Damzon^b²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans

50/1

Runner-up on the second of 3 bumpers and has shown a bit of promise over hurdles but will be better off in handicaps in due course.

Form: 6-25U6U

Edmond³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

16/1

Fair bumper winner for Rod Millman who has made little impact over hurdles.

Form: 453/1-58

Forecasts

Starcrossed Lover (1/2), Palacio (2/1), Renoir (14/1), Edmond (16/1), King Ulanda (25/1), Nathanael Greene (25/1), Washington Singer (50/1), Midnight View (50/1), Damzon (50/1), Tracking Treasure (125/1), Sonic Gold (150/1), Soldier Dan (150/1), Cinderello (200/1)

STARCROSSED LOVER made an impressive start for this yard when easily landing a Windsor novice hurdle a month ago and, with further progress on the cards, he's fancied to edge out Palacio in a race that the pair should dominate.
