Races & Results Thursday 3rd October 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Captain Marvellous 8/13, Masked Marvel gelding who built on his debut promise in no uncertain terms when landing 6-runner contest at Kempton in December, hard held. Similar form when third of 5 pitched into the Adonis in February and this looks a good starting point this term. Ran big race when third in Grade 2 Adonis in February; could be hard to catch here.

2nd (3) (15/2 +46%) Pure Carbon
7.5
15/2(+46%)
(3) Pure Carbon 15/2, €32,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Showed a bit more than on debut when third in a bumper at Huntingdon in April. Will stay further over obstacles but can be competitive on return. Displayed significant promise in both bumpers last season; now makes his hurdling debut.

3rd (10) (5/2 +50%) Marlacoo
2.5
5/2(+50%)
(10) Marlacoo 5/2, €1,250 3-y-o, Wings of Eagles gelding. Dam unraced. Cheap purchase but got off to a winning start in clear-cut fashion at Down Royal in May. Changed hands for £85,000 soon after and he's a good hurdles prospect. Bought for £85,000 after creating pretty good impression in Down Royal bumper in May.

4th (9) (11/1 -10%) Kabuki
11
11/1(-10%)
(9) Kabuki 11/1, Made a winning start to his career in a Newcastle bumper just before Christmas but he could only run to a modest level when fifth of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Newbury (16.3f) a month later. Should have more to offer this term. Safely held on hurdling debut but has possibilities if judged on his bumper win.
5th

5th (8) (80/1 -400%) Goodwin Face
80
80/1(-400%)
(8) Goodwin Face 80/1, Half-brother to a couple of hurdle winners who took a tired fall on debut in race won by Captain Marvellous at Kempton in November. Well adrift of Captain Marvellous when falling on debut last November; absent since.
6th
7
6th (7) (66/1 -164%) Castadrift
66
66/1(-164%)
(7) Castadrift 66/1, €36,000 3-y-o, Pillar Coral gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Twominutes Turkish and modest hurdler Flashthelights. Off mark in points at second attempt and displayed some ability when fourth in a bumper at Uttoxeter in July. Hurdles debut. Point winner; not beaten far on bumper debut but others have more compelling claims here.
7th
2
7th (2) (50/1 -52%) Latenightrumble
50
50/1(-52%)
(2) Latenightrumble 50/1, Half-brother to Latenightpass. Four-time point winner who ran to a fair level when second in 3¼m Cheltenham hunter chase in May. 2m an inadequate test here last week and he's opposable again kept to this C&D. Good second in hunter chase in May but recent hurdling debut was very underwhelming.
8th
4
8th (4) (18/1 -29%) Skiffle Man
18
18/1(-29%)
(4) Skiffle Man 18/1, Mahler gelding. Brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Tim Pat. In top hands but limited impact both starts at Doncaster during the winter. Probably a handicap project. Safely held in two 2m Doncaster novice hurdles at start of this year.
9th
5
9th (5) (200/1 -60%) Skin Full
200
200/1(-60%)
(5) Skin Full 200/1, Cost plenty after finishing second in a point but no impact under Rules during the spring. Struggled to get competitive in three soft-ground novice hurdles this spring.
10th
11
10th (11) (33/1 0%) Three Zambezi's
33
33/1(0%)
(11) Three Zambezi's 33/1, €7,000 3-y-o, £38,000 4-y-o: fifth foal: dam unraced, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 3¼m) The Tourard Man. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Mar 16). Cost £38,000 after coming second in heavy-ground Irish point in March; rules debut today.
13:23 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MARLACOO scored in the style of a smart prospect when running away with a Down Royal bumper on his debut in May and, having subsequently been snapped up for 85,000 pounds, he gets the vote to land the spoils on his first start for the Tom Lacey team. Last seen finishing third in the Grade 2 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle at Kempton in February, Captain Marvellous should find this company more manageable and he commands the utmost respect. Skiffle Man completes the shortlist.
CAPTAIN MARVELLOUS will find this a good deal easier than the Adonis he contested when last seen and he's fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Marlacoo was impressive on debut in a bumper at Down Royal and he rates an above-average hurdles prospect, with point recruit Cherry Brave one to monitor in the market.
Free-going front-runner CAPTAIN MARVELLOUS was a fairly useful juvenile last season and is taken to dominate here.
13:23 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(7) Strong Foundations 9/2, Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Promising first effort under Rules when fourth of 15 at Cheltenham last October but failed to build on that on both subsequent outings. Makes hurdles bow after 6 months off and betting should be a useful guide to expectations. Looked quite promising in bumpers last season and has possibilities on hurdling debut.
2
9
2nd (9) (7/2 +56%) Don Virginia
3.5
7/2(+56%)
(9) Don Virginia 7/2, Runner-up on his sole start in junior hurdles last season and showed promise again 6 months on when third of 11 in maiden hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) last month. Could kick on with that recent outing under his belt. Placed on both hurdling starts and sets a fair form standard; likely contender.
3
8
3rd (8) (2/1 -45%) Sunray Shadow
2
2/1(-45%)
(8) Sunray Shadow 2/1, Blue Bresil gelding who looked a good prospect as he made a winning start to his career in 6-runner bumper at this C&D (good) back in May, looking clueless once hitting the front having gone powerfully but knuckling down just in time. Obvious claims now hurdling for his top yard. Travelled strongly before asserting in six-runner course bumper in May; hurdle debut.
4
4
4th (4) (10/1 +29%) Just Gino
10
10/1(+29%)
(4) Just Gino 10/1, Bought for £100,000 after winning sole start in Irish points in March and shaped as if better for the run on his hurdle/Rules debut at Bangor last December, racing freely. Ran to a similar level 5 months on at Southwell back in May and now a first-time hood is applied (also had a wind op). Irish point winner; showed only minor promise when fifth on first two hurdling starts.
5th
3
5th (3) (100/1 +0%) Just Four Fame
100
100/1(+0%)
(3) Just Four Fame 100/1, Third in an Aintree bumper in May 2022 then not seen again until last of 5 in maiden hurdle at Wincanton in February. Showed a bit 7 months on (benefited from being well positioned early) when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good) 9 days ago but others look stronger. Placed in Aintree bumper in May 2022 but safely held on both subsequent hurdling starts.
6th
2
6th (2) (7/1 +56%) Entity Of Substanz
7
7/1(+56%)
(2) Entity Of Substanz 7/1, Boasts an appealing pedigree and ran with promise when seventh of 16 in maiden hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, soft) in January. Never dangerous when well beaten in similar event at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) a month later and seemingly being brought along with staying handicaps in mind. Ran okay on hurdling debut but second start was a backward step.
7th
5
7th (5) (200/1 -203%) Rockvale
200
200/1(-203%)
(5) Rockvale 200/1, €15,000 3-y-o, El Salvador gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Ingenious Stroke and 2½m chase winner Fit For Fifty. Dam (h86), maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2m-3m winner) World Wide Web. Placed all 3 starts in Irish points (latest Mar 31). Made the frame in all three Irish points but the form isn't anything out of the ordinary.
8th
10
8th (10) (66/1 -371%) Gillespie Road
66
66/1(-371%)
(10) Gillespie Road 66/1, €14,000 3-y-o, £46,000 4-y-o, El Salvador gelding. Dam unraced. Successful sole outing in Irish points (Mar 16). Bought for £46,000 after winning heavy-ground Irish point on debut in March; rules debut.
9th
11
9th (11) (80/1 -60%) Heather Honey
80
80/1(-60%)
(11) Heather Honey 80/1, Not much promise in her debut fourth in bumper at Wetherby in January but showed a bit more despite not being seen to best effect when fifth of 9 at Worcester (16f, good) just over 5 weeks ago. Makes her hurdles bow but she looks one for later (stayer in the making). Showed minor promise in mares' bumpers but needs improvement here.
10th
12
10th (12) (100/1 -203%) Ballyhiho
100
100/1(-203%)
(12) Ballyhiho 100/1, €26,000 3-y-o, £20,000 4-y-o, Jukebox Jury filly. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (2½m winner) Jeremys Jewel. Placed on 2 of 4 starts in Irish points, including latest (May 12). Placed in two of her four Irish points in the spring; market may guide on hurdle debut.
11th
1
11th (1) (11/2 -10%) Diamond Geezer
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(1) Diamond Geezer 11/2, Produced a promising first effort when neck second of 7 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) 10 months ago, the winner's experience edge probably crucial. Not seen since but merits consideration on hurdling debut for his top yard. Close second in Sedgefield bumper last November and open to improvement over hurdles.
13:53 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Dan Skelton appears to hold the key to this race, and his SUNRAY SHADOW looks the one to be with. He belied inexperience to get off the mark at the first time of asking in a bumper here in May and, with that experience under his belt, he may prove tough to stop once more. Stable companion Ronnies Rules notched up a hat-trick of bumper wins at Stratford this summer, and he can give the selection most to think about. The application of a hood can help Just Gino to be seen to better effect and he completes the shortlist.
Dan Skelton looks to hold the aces in this second division with SUNRAY SHADOW selected to make a winning start over obstacles having overcome inexperience to land a C&D bumper back in the spring. Seemingly the choice of Harry Skelton, he can get the better of stablemate Ronnies Rules, who bagged a hat-trick in bumpers at Stratford over the summer. Diamond Geezer, who hasn't been seen since his debut 10 months ago, can edge out Don Virginia for third.
The bare form of his course bumper win in May is modest but SUNRAY SHADOW could have much more to offer over hurdles.
13:53 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(7) Lady Jago 1/1, Irish point winner who has shown fair form in a trio of bumpers, fifth at Ascot in February. Merits plenty of respect on her first go over hurdles. Irish point winner; began year with two promising bumper runs; likely contender here.
2
5
2nd (5) (9/4 -20%) Jayapura
2.25
9/4(-20%)
(5) Jayapura 9/4, £90,000 4-y-o, Great Pretender mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Imagine, stays 2½m, and fairly useful French cross-country chaser Carefree. Easily won her sole start in Irish points in April, 2023. Very much one to consider on her hurdles bow. Bought for £90,000 after easy Irish point win on debut in April 2023; rules debut today.
3
8
3rd (8) (50/1 -100%) Miss Kassiopi
50
50/1(-100%)
(8) Miss Kassiopi 50/1, Being brought along steadily, fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 43 days ago when needing a stiffer test. One to consider now stepped up significantly up in trip. Not disgraced when fifth at Worcester in August but significant improvement is needed here.
4
1
4th (1) (14/1 +13%) An Cailin Ciuin
14
14/1(+13%)
(1) An Cailin Ciuin 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in a below-form fourth of 11 in novice at Fontwell (21.8f, good) in May. Not discounted if back on her A-game. Placed at 80-1 two starts ago but soundly beaten since.
5th
6
5th (6) (66/1 -100%) Keppel Queen
66
66/1(-100%)
(6) Keppel Queen 66/1, Only sixth on her hurdling bow at Worcester and cheekpieces on when unseated rider 3rd in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 13 days ago. Up in trip with more to do. Showed promise on bumper debut but has made quiet start to hurdling career.
6th
2
6th (2) (11/1 +67%) Calli Black
11
11/1(+67%)
(2) Calli Black 11/1, Winner of her sole completed start in points and placed in a couple of bumpers. Possibilities now going hurdling. Showed only minor promise in bumpers last season; makes hurdling debut after a break.
7th
9
7th (9) (6/1 +25%) Roebuck Bay
6
6/1(+25%)
(9) Roebuck Bay 6/1, Has shown some promise in bumpers, third of 6 at Ayr 7 months ago. Much respected on her hurdles debut. Not beaten far in any of her three bumpers last season; considered each-way.
3
3
|PU| (3) (80/1 -300%) Earcomessue
80
80/1(-300%)
(3) Earcomessue 80/1, Twice raced in bumpers and fair form shown when last seen out over 2 years ago. Has his fitness to prove on her comeback/hurdles debut. Showed promise in two Stratford bumpers in summer 2022; back from long absence today.
11
11
|PU| (11) (100/1 -300%) Gemi Cat
100
100/1(-300%)
(11) Gemi Cat 100/1, €22,000 3-y-o, Gemix filly. Dam, 17f hurdle winner in France, half-sister to very smart hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 2½m) Kitten Rock. Market can guide on her debut. Out of a half-sister to smart jumper Kitten Rock but probably best watched on debut.
10
10
|PU| (10) (125/1 0%) Alduni's Girl
125
125/1(0%)
(10) Alduni's Girl 125/1, Poor maiden hurdler. Made mistakes when ninth of 13 in handicap at Fontwell (21.8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Hood on 1st time with work to do. Tailed off when making handicap debut off a lowly mark in August; now hooded.
14:23 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
JAYAPURA bolted up in a Dromahane point-to-point over 3m in April 2023 and it would be no surprise if she had enough in the locker to land the spoils in a race of this nature on her Rules/hurdles debut. Fellow point-to-point winner Hill Of Scarriff also warrants respect on her debut for Dan Skelton, while Lady Jago is another to consider.
Those with hudling experience don't set the bar too high so this could rest between the newcomers with Dan Skelton's winning Irish pointer LADY JAGO taken to go in at the first time of asking. Stablemate Hill Of Scarriff, also successful in the poining field, could emerge as the main danger with another debutante Jayapura also in the mix. An Cailin Ciuin appeals as the pick of those with form on the board for minor honours.
This could be a good opportunity for Irish point winner LADY JAGO to deliver on the promise she showed in bumpers last season.
14:23 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Guard Your Dreams 2/1, Developed into a smart and likeable hurdler in 2021/22 but below that level in 4 comeback outings over hurdles earlier in the year. Needs a switch to fences to help spark him back to life. Back from a break with a bit to prove but on a very good mark for chase debut; considered..
2
5
2nd (5) (3/1 +0%) Roccovango
3
3/1(+0%)
(5) Roccovango 3/1, Has thrived since joining Olly Murphy and fitted with cheekpieces, adding to maiden/novice hurdle wins in the spring with a Worcester handicap chase debut success last month. More to come from him over fences. 3-4 for this stable including when making a winning start over fences latest; big player..
3
3
3rd (3) (18/1 -80%) Genois
18
18/1(-80%)
(3) Genois 18/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at his best for Enda Bolger in Ireland but his sole win was a in a maiden hurdle over 3 years ago. Not the most fluent jumper of fences. Others are preferred for win purposes again. 14-race maiden over fences but respected on peak efforts for Enda Bolger on stable debut..
4
6
4th (6) (2/1 +64%) Big Blue Moon
2
2/1(+64%)
(6) Big Blue Moon 2/1, Two handicap hurdle wins in the spring and respectable third at Uttoxeter when last seen at the end of May. Pulled up in previous chase but too soon to suggest he won't cut it over fences. Three-time hurdle winner; needs to jump better but considered back over fences..
5th
7
5th (7) (200/1 -700%) Storm Of Light
200
200/1(-700%)
(7) Storm Of Light 200/1, Fair hurdle winner for Olly Murphy but pulled up on all 3 chase starts for this yard and he's miles out of the handicap here. Pulled up on last three starts, including back over fences latest; way out of weights.
2
2
|F| (2) (7/1 -17%) Hector Javilex
7
7/1(-17%)
(2) Hector Javilex 7/1, Useful hurdler who was let down by his jumping when a well-held fourth of 5 at Newbury on his previous attempt over fences last December. Still very early days in this sphere but can't be confident after that. Useful staying hurdler; probably best watched back chasing over a trip short of his best..
14:55 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The Olly Murphy team have been in good form recently and, with race-fitness on his side, ROCCOVANGO gets the vote. The eight-year-old made a winning chase debut at Worcester last month and with improvement likely, a 6lb rise might not be enough to stop him. A classy sort over timber, Guard Your Dreams makes plenty of appeal now sent chasing, while Dan Skelton's Asta La Pasta appeals most of the remainder.
Dan Skelton's ASTA LA PASTA looks very much the type to make a chaser and can end Roccovango's unbeaten run since fitted with cheekpieces.
Roccovango looks sure of a big run but preference is for ASTA LA VISTA who appeals as a likely type to improve for fences.
(5) Guard The Moon 5/2, Back-to-back bumper wins last December and came good over hurdles in 23f Hexham maiden in May. His opening handicap mark seems fair and his stable is going well so there are reasons to be positive back from 5 months off. Signed off with Hexham maiden win in May; could easily have more to offer.
2
6
2nd (6) (5/4 +50%) Long Draw
1.25
5/4(+50%)
(6) Long Draw 5/4, £60,000 Irish point recruit who has upped his game since switched to handicaps. winning at Ffos Las in May and only just touched off on Worcester return 4 months. Likely to have won there but for a mistake 2 out and this low-mileage 5-y-o almost certainly has more to offer. Won in the spring and was a shade unlucky not to follow up at Worcester last month.
3
1
3rd (1) (14/1 +0%) Manorbank
14
14/1(+0%)
(1) Manorbank 14/1, Still in touch when stumbled and fell after 2 out over C&D in May but not in the same form when down the field at Worcester 4 months later. Has claims if judged on Chepstow second in April but was tailed off when last in action.
4
9
4th (9) (17/2 +29%) Halifax
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(9) Halifax 17/2, Won a 3m Kempton handicap hurdle in May. Has remained in form since but his consistency means he isn't getting cut much slack by the handicapper. Consistent since 3m win in May but this drop back in trip may not be ideal.
5th
10
5th (10) (28/1 -75%) Minella Double
28
28/1(-75%)
(10) Minella Double 28/1, Caused a surprise when narrowly winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester in August but he failed to back it up in a chase there last month. Surprise hurdle winner in August but soundly beaten over fences since; hard to predict.
6th
8
6th (8) (50/1 -317%) Foveros
50
50/1(-317%)
(8) Foveros 50/1, Winless since 2019 but was placed 3 times over hurdles for Henry Oliver at the start of 2024. Found it tougher on the Flat over the summer and others are preferred now back hurdling after 3 months off. Ran well on latest hurdling start in April but his overall profile is not persuasive.
7th
2
7th (2) (15/2 -25%) Panhandle Slim
7.5
15/2(-25%)
(2) Panhandle Slim 15/2, Hit the frame in a couple of above-average bumpers and struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in Sedgefield novice on Boxing Day. Better form when placed under a penalty on final 2 starts. Returns as an unexposed handicap newcomer. Quite progressive as a novice last season and open to more progress in handicaps this term.
7
7
|PU| (7) (9/1 +10%) Harjo
9
9/1(+10%)
(7) Harjo 9/1, Ready winner on second chase start at Wincanton last December. Let down by his jumping subsequently but back on the mark he defied at Wincanton now returning to hurdles after a break. Pulled up over fences on latest start in March but reverts to hurdling on good mark.
15:30 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
LONG DRAW pulled clear with an improver at Worcester last month and given that he has scope for further progress himself, the five-year-old is taken to go one better. Guard The Moon made all to land his maiden at Hexham in May and is of interest ahead of his seasonal return. Others to note include Minella Double and Panhandle Slim.
LONG DRAW looks capable of better again for in-form Olly Murphy and can gain compensation for last month's Worcester near miss. Guard The Moon and Panhandle Slim appeal as possible improvers now moving into handicap company on their return to action, while Dan Skelton's Don Hollow is another lightly-raced sort who likely has his best days ahead of him.
Unlucky not to double his hurdling tally at Worcester last month, LONG DRAW (nap) can overcome a 6lb rise here.
(1) Jeffery's Cross 7/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who took his form up a notch when gaining a first win over fences in 14-runner handicap at Haydock in April 2023. Below form next time and not seen since but worth monitoring in the betting on return. Improving chaser but has a long absence to overcome and doesn't look stable's best chance..
1
3
1st (3) (15/2 +38%) The Flier Begley
7.5
15/2(+38%)
(3) The Flier Begley 15/2, Fairly useful chase winner for Stuart Crawford in Ireland. Most encouraging effort since joining this yard when third at Bangor last time and is a definite player if he can build on that. Offered more latest; needs to step up but well treated on pick of Irish form.
2
10
2nd (10) (7/2 +22%) Finn Lough
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(10) Finn Lough 7/2, Shaped well on several occasions over hurdles and very much seemed in need of the run at Kelso on chasing debut recently. Stable has just had a couple of winners and he's likely to be spot on, now. Disappointing favourite on recent chase debut but the drop back in trip could help..
3
8
3rd (8) (7/2 +46%) Realisation
3.5
7/2(+46%)
(8) Realisation 7/2, Bumper winner who left first 2 hurdles starts behind when a smooth winner on handicap debut at Southwell (20.5f) in December. Underperformed subsequently in good races but looks an interesting recruit to chasing. Bumper/hurdle winner; makes chase debut having had wind surgery; others stronger.
4
7
4th (7) (12/1 +64%) Another Million
12
12/1(+64%)
(7) Another Million 12/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap chase (11/1) at Naas (20f, soft). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Denis Leahy. Others more persuasive. Won on chase debut in April 2023 but well beaten since; bit to prove on stable debut..
5th
2
5th (2) (11/4 -38%) God's Own Getaway
2.75
11/4(-38%)
(2) God's Own Getaway 11/4, Low-mileage 6-y-o who has already won twice over hurdles and progressed further when runner-up at Perth 116 days ago. Pick of the Skelton trio on jockey bookings and looks the one to beat. Ran well at a higher level when runner-up in June; solid claims back from a break..
6th
5
6th (5) (66/1 -100%) Old Painless
66
66/1(-100%)
(5) Old Painless 66/1, Potentially well treated but ran no sort of race on either start for this yard last season and returns from 7 months off with a bit to prove. Won on chase debut in 2022 but has become most disappointing since; hard to recommend..
7th
11
7th (11) (11/1 -57%) Anytrixwilldo
11
11/1(-57%)
(11) Anytrixwilldo 11/1, Fair form at best over hurdles and likely needed his reappearance at Worcester 22 days ago. Bred to make a chaser and worth monitoring in the betting switched to the larger obstacles. Has shown promise over hurdles but more required on chase debut..
6
6
|F| (6) (7/2 +36%) Tommie Gun
3.5
7/2(+36%)
(6) Tommie Gun 7/2, Made a successful debut over hurdles in 2m novice at Southwell in December. Back on track when hitting the frame in a couple of handicaps and appeals as the type to take to chasing. Trip should suit and hes a big player returning from 5 months off with his yard in form. Progressive hurdler who appeals as the type to make a chaser; each way claims..

Stable companions Jeffery's Cross and GOD'S OWN GETAWAY have the ability to take charge of a race of this nature and, while the former boasts commendable form figurers over fences, the latter has more scope for progression and shades preference with Harry Skelton aboard. Reilly completes a strong hand for team Skelton but perhaps The Flier Begley is more of a danger to the other two.
GOD'S OWN GETAWAY is highly progressive as a chaser and still looked ahead of his mark when last seen at Perth almost 4 months ago, so he's preferred to Finn Lough, who is open to improvement as a chaser. Jeffery's Cross is also worthy of consideration if the market speaks in his favour.
Dan Skelton runs three with Jeffery's Cross respected but the vote goes to GOD'S OWN GETAWAY who has done little wrong over fences.
(7) Kaylan 11/8, Protectionist gelding. Brother to German 1½m winner Kalea. Dam unraced half-sister to 17f hurdle/chase winner in Italy/Germany Koffi Lady. Appeals as a likely type to make his mark for stable with an excellent record in this sphere. Has fairly good German Flat pedigree; stable does well in bumpers; shortlisted.

2nd (2) (7/2 -40%) Deep Purple
3.5
7/2(-40%)
(2) Deep Purple 7/2, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 33f) Emperor's Choice. Successful on last of 4 starts in points (Mar 10) having finished runner-up in each of first 3. Needs considering for top stable. Won Charing point in March and has joined a top stable for rules career.

3rd (8) (10/1 +38%) Moon Monarch
10
10/1(+38%)
(8) Moon Monarch 10/1, Sea Moon gelding who is bred more for stamina than speed and shaped accordingly amidst greenness when fifth of 8 in bumper at Plumpton (17.8f, good to firm) on NH debut in May. Probably one for later on. Showed his inexperience when never-dangerous fifth on debut at Plumpton.

4th (6) (18/1 -13%) Brixson
18
18/1(-13%)
(6) Brixson 18/1, Califet gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Terresita and fair chaser O'connell, stays 3½m, both by Westerner. Yard wouldn't be a regular source of winners in bumpers. Had a good pedigree but wears headgear on debut and yard is not that prolific in bumpers.
5th

5th (3) (25/1 +24%) Moonshine Man
25
25/1(+24%)
(3) Moonshine Man 25/1, Sea Moon gelding. Dam unraced. Yard have yet to hit the target this season and he's probably best watched unless market vibes proved particularly positive. Out of an unraced half-sister to a bumper winnner; other newcomers appeal more on paper.
6th

6th (1) (11/1 -175%) Clearisthewater
11
11/1(-175%)
(1) Clearisthewater 11/1, €24,000 5-y-o, Ol' Man River gelding. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt last time (May 19) and he's an interesting on Rules debut for yard with a 5-33 record with their runners in this sphere in recent seasons. Wears hood. Bought for 24,000euros after winning good-ground Irish point in May; rules debut today.
7th
11
7th (11) (50/1 -52%) Wingmann
50
50/1(-52%)
(11) Wingmann 50/1, Wings of Eagles gelding. Off the pace and little short-term promise when tenth of 12 in bumper at Worcester (16f, good to soft) on NH debut in June. This should reveal more. Well beaten on debut in June; needs considerable help from first-time tongue-tie.
8th
10
8th (10) (14/1 -17%) Supreme George
14
14/1(-17%)
(10) Supreme George 14/1, €25,000 3-y-o, £38,000 4-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Game On, stayed 3¼m, and fair hurdler Hillary John. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Mar 24). Yard 2-5 in bumpers so far this term and he's respected on debut. Cost £38,000 after making the frame in two Irish points; new yard does well in bumpers.
9th

9th (5) (11/2 -57%) Bits N Pieces
5.5
11/2(-57%)
(5) Bits N Pieces 11/2, £18,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam (c102/h110) 2m-21f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 3m). Third on second of 2 starts in points (May 18) and he's one to consider on debut in this sphere for yard who have been in red-hot form in recent weeks. Out of a fair hurdle/chaser; stable has very healthy bumper strike-rate.
10th

10th (9) (66/1 +34%) Sea Victory
66
66/1(+34%)
(9) Sea Victory 66/1, £13,000 Sea The Moon gelding. 80/1 and tongue strap on, eighth of 9 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) on NH debut in December. Undergone wind surgery ahead of return and he's likely best watched. Tailed off (albeit on heavy ground) when 80-1 for Wincanton debut in December.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Deep Purple and Clearisthewater boast strong point-to-point form and are notable recruits for highly respected yards. However, there is also lots to like about the profile of BITS N PIECES, whose dam was a dual winner on the NH scene in Ireland and the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained newcomer is suggested as the first to consider in a race where the betting should be informative. Kaylan should also be taken seriously.
The betting will likely unearth clues but newcomer KAYLAN appeals as a likely type on paper for a stable boasting an excellent record in this sphere and is narrowly selected ahead of point scorers Deep Purple and Clearisthewater who both appeal as likely types to make their mark. Bits N Pieces and Supreme George are another pair to note.
Winning Irish pointer CLEARISTHEWATER has a pedigree that makes him an interesting candidate for bumpers.
