Tales Of Bravery (G)
FAV
[HT]
6-y-o who has improved plenty with each run over hurdles, making all to open his account at the third attempt in a Uttoxeter maiden (15.8f, heavy) 33 days ago. That wasn't a strong race by any means but he looks to have been found another …

Fine Fellow (G)
Dunaden gelding who ran to a fair level when third on bumper debut at Uttoxeter (15.8f) last spring. Looked a staying type then and he was well below that level back from 7 months off in a slowly-run race when eighth of 12 in a Warwick bum…

Jet Steel (G)
[H]
Stepped up on his debut bumper fourth when third of 7 in similar company at Plumpton (17.8f, soft) in December but tame start in this sphere faced with bottomless ground when pulled up behind Tales of Bravery at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 33 days a…

Lord Chamberlain (G)
Fair maiden on Flat for David Simcock during 2024 who offered little for the short-term following 18 months off (also tongue tied) when eleventh of 17 in a Wincanton maiden (15.2f) 4 weeks ago. Low-grade handicaps will be more his thing fu…

Magna Patch (G)
Went close when runner-up in a point bumper but he proved easy to back and offered little when sixteenth of 17 in bumper at Aintree (17f, good to firm) on Rules debut back in May. Goes hurdling now after 9 months off as one of 2 runners fr…

Burano Murano (G)
Modest maiden on the Flat but re-united with present yard, he improved on what he'd shown on his sole previous hurdles try when landing 9-runner Huntingdon maiden (15.8f) 7 days ago. Fair bit to like about manner of that success and this 4…

Lady Blackmore (M)
Bathyrhon mare who finished runner-up both starts in Irish points last autumn but was made to look very slow when fifth in a steadily-run Huntingdon bumper (15.8f) 5 weeks ago, outpaced from 4f out. Feasible to think longer trips will help…
