Approaching Storm (M)
Shirocco filly. 28/1, last of 9 in bumper at Fontwell (17.7f, good) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Very hard to fancy.

Flying Pimpernel (M)
Promising second at Fontwell on bumper but seemed lacking a change of gear when down the field at Bangor next time. Others preferred.

Joan's Choice (M)
[H]
Placed both starts in bumpers and was unlucky not to collect when a fast-finishing second at Wetherby last month. Should learn from that experience and sets the standard.

| 8th | 4 | — |
Ledecka (M)
Twice-raced maiden. Improved from her debut when second of 5 in bumper at Ffos Las (15.8f, soft, 25/1) 36 days ago, sticking to task. First run for yard after leaving Toby Bulgin for £30,000 gns. Place claims.

| 12th | 5 | — |
Martha's Cottage (M)
£36,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2¼m) Publican. Newcomers from yard often fancied.

Thomas Bellamy | A King | 4 | 70.8 kg |

8/1

| 5th | 6 | — |
Pure Ocean (M)
Crystal Ocean filly out of a half-sister to Champion Hurdler Binocular. Appeals as more of a long-term prospect on paper.

Brendan Powell | R Bandey | 4 | 70.8 kg |

| 2nd | 7 | — |
Secret Des Lune (M)
Maxios filly. Dam (c92/h110), 17f-2½m hurdle winner (stayed 23f), closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stays 25f) Tupelo Mississippi. Worth market check for yard with decent bumper record.

Skittish (F)
FAV
Very green on debut but was much improved when runner-up in a 5-runner bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to firm, 11/4) 68 days ago, finishing some way clear of the remainder. Considered.

Svelte Silhouette (M)
[H]
Jack Hobbs filly. 50/1 and hooded, very green but showed ability when third of 8 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, good) on NH debut 37 days ago. Place claims again, especially if sharper this time.
|
Daniel Sansom | J W Mullins | 4 | 70.8 kg |

18/1

| 6th | 10 | — |
Western Charm (M)
Frontiersman filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler Stainsby Girl. Plenty of stamina in the pedigree but newcomers from yard often fancied.

| 10th | 11 | — |
Willshebe Court (M)
[T1]
Court Cave mare, sister to smart hurdler/chaser Willoughby Court. 16/1, sixth of 10 in bumper at Worcester (16f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. More required.

Wings And Wands (M)
£30,000 4-y-o, Wings of Eagles mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler Ooh Betty. Won an Irish point in April 2024 and market may well prove best guide as to expectations on debut.
