Well bred but just modest form in bumpers and sold from Tom Weston for only £5,000 in May.

Future Fortune76
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: W Greatrex| D
Made a winning debut in bumper at Hereford in October 2023 but she came in a well-held fourth on her hurdling bow at Huntingdon in November when gambled on. Likely to leave that form behind in time but this assignment demands a significant step forward.

Timeform
Little promise in 2 runs over hurdles, jumping poorly. Dropped in trip.
|
Timeform
Showed promise in bumpers and plenty when third in well-run novice hurdle at Hereford last month having been well backed. That has the look of a decent contest and she should improve. Leading claims under 7 lb conditional down in trip.
|
Timeform
Fair bumper winner here in April and ran to a similar level sent hurdling having had a breathing operation at Wincanton on Boxing Day. Entitled to progress and big run expected.
|
Timeform
Winless following 8 attempts between the flags and safely held both starts over hurdles to date.
|
Timeform
Fell in point in Ireland and well beaten on hurdles debut at Ludlow last month. Down in trip.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'BrienWS
Point winner and a couple of promising efforts over hurdles at Wincanton and Ayr. Not so good at Lingfield 6 weeks ago and has had a breathing operation since. Now tongue tied and suspect we'll see the best of her when upped in trip.
|
Timeform
Well beaten in Catterick bumper last month and likely to need more time and further now jumping.
|
Timeform
Milan mare out of a bumper/2¼m hurdle winner. Worth a second look in the betting.
Timeform
Bred for the job but ran below the form of her brace of seconds in bumpers sent hurdling after 9 months off at Uttoxeter in November. Hard to fancy.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley
Built on Cheltenham bumper debut promise when third at Market Rasen first time up over hurdles, but not so good at Southwell since. Might be one for handicaps. Tongue tie goes on.

I'VE MADEUPMYMIND made a promising start over hurdles at Hereford last month and is just preferred to Jena d'Oudairies, who returns to the scene of her bumper win having looked in need of the experience at Wincanton on her first crack hurdling.
