Ambiente Friendly (G)
FAV
[H]
Very smart performer at best on the Flat, runner-up in 2024 Epsom Derby. Just useful on the level in 2025 but with a hood back on, he showed plenty to work on when fourth on hurdles debut at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. Sharp 2m in his favour a…

Bamber (G)
El Salvador gelding. Brother to a point winner. Dam, pulled up in point, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (winner at around 2m) Herons Heir. Minor promise only in a brace of bumpers last winter.

Bobajob (G)
Promising second in a Newbury bumper in November 2024. Off 4 months after and failed in a big way to match that form at this venue. Off again since but in the right hands now hurdling.

For Old Times Sake (G)
€52,000 3-y-o, Masked Marvel gelding. Closely related to fair 2¼m hurdle winner Kamino Bello, and half-brother to numerous winners, including French chaser Pasatiempo. Placed both completed starts in Irish points.

Sense Of Reason (G)
Dam half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdler Proofreader. Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m), successful at Chelmsford penultimate start, disappointing there last time.

Trapper John (G)
Dam fairly useful hurdler (15f-2½m winner). Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m), possibly found race coming too soon last time.

Wondering Why (G)
In need of experience on bumper debut in March and built on that effort when making all at this venue the following month. Left Richard Bandey after and promising start over hurdles when third at Southwell 3 weeks ago. More to come.

Eastern Shores (M)
[H1T]
£70,000 purchase after winning Irish point but just modest form in bumpers and not even at that level over hurdles so far. Hood on for first time.
