(Forecast 15.00) 2 3/24535 NEACHELLS BRIDGE (IRE) 26 ch g Getaway Strawberry Lane R Johnson Jockey Colours: Orange, black chevron, halved sleeves, orange and black quartered cap Timeform says: Fairly useful form in bumpers and promise all 3 starts over hurdles, not at all knocked about when midfield in a novice at Uttoxeter last month. One to note on handicap bow. (Forecast 8.50) THE GO TOU MAN (IRE) 19 b g Shantou Golan Lady Jockey Colours: Black, white star, halved sleeves and star on cap Timeform says: Fair in bumpers and wasted no time getting back on track in this sphere when second at Southwell recently. Still low mileage, so open to further progress. (Forecast 6.00) PEUR DE RIEN (FR) 190 b g Kapgarde Tango Princess Jockey Colours: White, red cross belts, royal blue and white halved sleeves, royal blue cap Timeform says: Wellbred sort who has shown enough encouragement over hurdles to think he can get competitive from a mark like this, particularly returning from 6 months off with his yard in form. (Forecast 13.00) 5 F/1434 KILCULLEN BELLAMY 188 b m Black Sam Bellamy Fenney Spring R T Dunne N P Mulholland Harry Bannister H Whittington L P Aspell O Sherwood Adam Wedge Jockey Colours: Royal blue, emerald green disc, quartered cap Timeform says: Left previous efforts behind when runnerup in 2m Southwell novice in March last year, but it's of obvious concern that he's not been seen since. Definite claims if fully tuned up. (Forecast 7.00) AULD SOD (IRE) 31 b g Court Cave Didn't You Know Jockey Colours: Dark blue, maroon epaulets, sleeves and cap Timeform says: Fair form at best over hurdles and starting out for a yard that has few runners over hurdles. (Forecast 29.00) THE TOOJUMPA 218 b m Midnight Legend Sunnyland Jockey Colours: Light blue, maroon epaulets and armlets Timeform says: Has hinted at ability in a trio of runs over hurdles so far but she seems to have been a little overfaced with her opening mark. (Forecast 41.00) 11 3/6U604 DESTINED TO SHINE (IRE) 234 b g Dubai Destination Good Shine Jockey Colours: Red, white braces, chevrons on sleeves Timeform says: Won Towcester bumper in the mud last February and, while he's yet to match that form in this sphere, he travelled with purpose when fourth at Bangor 7 months ago, so things may yet click. (Forecast 12.00) COCK A DOODLE DOO (FR) 19 BF b m Della Francesca Jiletta Jockey Colours: Yellow, dark blue disc, yellow and emerald green diabolo on sleeves, emerald green cap, yellow diamond Timeform says: Alltheway winner of a 12runner maiden hurdle at Sligo for James Nash in August but has been below best since, including on debut for new yard on the back of a breathing operation. (Forecast 6.50) h James Best J M Bradley Lee Edwards J Groucott t Sam TwistonDavies Miss Kerry Lee t Mr William Marshall (7) D Skelton TIMEFORM VIEW: NEACHELLS BRIDGE and Almost Gold both left the firm impression they can do better in handicaps with some promising displays to date, so they're taken against the field here with the first named marginally preferred given he has the advantage of a recent run. The Go Tou Man is a danger based on his excellent second at Southwell last month. Timeform 123: 1: NEACHELLS BRIDGE (2) 2: ALMOST GOLD (6) 3: THE GO TOU MAN (3) Jockey Colours: Beige, black hoop, armlets and cap Timeform says: Irish point winner and has shown a bit in bumper and a couple of novice hurdles, so one to note in the betting making a quick switch to handicaps. (Forecast 12.00) ALMOST GOLD (IRE) 236 b g Gold Well Shining Lights Wayne Hutchinson Ian Williams 108 Jockey Colours: Black, brown stars, black sleeves and cap Timeform says: Closely related to fairly useful chaser Oscar O'Scar. In need of experience so far over hurdles but very much the type to do better now handicapping after 7 months off. (Forecast 17.00) 7 0/66390 BOMBER'S MOON 187 b g Erhaab Flaviola t M D Grant N A TwistonDavies 106 Jockey Colours: Champagne, black hoops and sleeves, red cap Timeform says: Fair form in bumpers before signs of promise over hurdles. Disappointing on handicap debut 6 months ago but too soon to rule out improvement. (Forecast 26.00) / GLOBAL RULER 595 b g Kalanisi Queen's Leader Bridget Andrews D Skelton 105

Dam, placed in bumper, halfsister to smart hurdler (stayed 3m) Attaglance and useful hurdler/chaser Hi George. Well worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Placed on his completed start in points in April and not seen to best effect when fourth of 5 in novice hurdle over C&D last month, needing stiffer test. Capable of better.

Bred for more stamina than speed but showed ability when seventh of 17 in a bumper at Warwick (16f) in April. Makes hurdles debut back from 6 months away. (Forecast 17.00) 9 05 TELSON BARLEY (IRE) 297 b g Scorpion El Monica Jockey Colours: Dark green, dark green and red check sleeves, white cap Timeform says: Well held on only start in bumpers but showed a bit sent hurdling when 23 lengths fifth of 6 in novice at Taunton (19f) in January. Off since. (Forecast 26.00) TURBOTIM (IRE) 268 b g Arakan Katy Mckay Jockey Colours: Royal blue, white cross of lorraine, royal blue sleeves, white stars, royal blue cap, white star Timeform says: Well beaten in 2 bumpers and 2 novice hurdles.

(Forecast 11.00) Wayne Hutchinson B I Case Kielan Woods G P Mcpherson Benjamin Poste M Scudamore L Heard TIMEFORM VIEW: MASSINI MAN showed enough in a bumper at Huntingdon in March to suggest he ll have a future and this shouldn t take much winning (those with hurdling experience don t set a particularly high standard). Precious Bounty and Dr Oakley are a couple of others to consider. Jockey Colours: Emerald green, black seams, hooped sleeves, striped cap Timeform says: No more than hinted at ability in bumpers and looks one for the longer term. (Forecast 34.00) 4 6 MASSINI MAN 232 b g Dr Massini Alleged To Rhyme P J Brennan T R George Timeform 123: 1: MASSINI MAN (4) 2: PRECIOUS BOUNTY (7) 3: DR OAKLEY (2) Jockey Colours: Emerald green and white (quartered), white sleeves, red cap Timeform says: Halfbrother to fair hurdler Overawed. Offered some encouragement without having a hard race when sixth in a big field bumper at Huntington on debut in March. Could improve for this switch to hurdles. (Forecast 6.50) PANIC AND RUN (IRE) 19 b g Roderic O'connor Bolas A Tinkler H D Daly Jockey Colours: Dark Blue, red yoke, red cuffs, Black cap Timeform says: Unplaced in bumpers for Oliver Sherwood in mid2017 but showed a bit more sent hurdling when fifth of 7 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f) last month. Needs to prove that doesn't flatter him, though. (Forecast 5.50) 6 57 PEMBERLEY (IRE) 262 b g Darsi Eyebright L P Aspell Miss E C Lavelle Jockey Colours: Royal blue, grey cross belts, grey sleeves, royal blue armlets, black cap Timeform says: Darsi gelding. Halfbrother to fairly useful hurdler Kellys Brow. Both bumper runs certainly not devoid of promise and another who could do better now hurdling back from 8 months off. (Forecast 11.00) 7 P20 PRECIOUS BOUNTY (IRE) 30 b g Yeats Zaharath Al Bustan R Johnson Jockey Colours: Light blue, dark blue armlets, dark blue cap Timeform says: 52,000 4yo, Yeats gelding.

Could be plenty more to come and must be respected. (Forecast 7.00) 2 22 GOLDEN PROMISE (IRE) 28 b g Flemensfirth Loadsapromise Jockey Colours: Black, orange hoop Timeform says: Promising type who posted fairlyuseful form when second over C&D (good) on hurdles bow 28 days ago. Should have learnt plenty from that and is a leading contender. (Forecast 3.25) GWALIA (IRE) 28 b g Beat Hollow Payphone B J Geraghty D Pipe R P McLernon Jonjo O'Neill Adam Wedge 8 15 ROUGE VIF (FR) 32 D b g Sageburg Rouge Amour Jockey Colours: Light blue, red braces, white sleeves, red armlets, light blue and red quartered cap Timeform says: Landed a Ludlow bumper on NH debut in March but was well held on hurdling bow at Newton Abbot last month. May do better yet but others make more appeal. (Forecast 13.00) 9 07 SANDY BOY (IRE) 12 b g Tajraasi Annienoora Jockey Colours: Purple, white star and armlets, white cap, purple star Timeform says: In good hands but hasn't figured in either outing over hurdles. (Forecast 41.00) TWOTWOTHREE (IRE) 26 b g Shantou Sibury Jockey Colours: Orange and dark green diabolo, light blue sleeves, orange cap Timeform says: Fair bumper performer who showed aptitude for hurdling when ninth at Uttoxeter last month. Looks a longerterm prospect, though. (Forecast 41.00) G Sheehan H Whittington R Johnson h David England Oliver Greenall TIMEFORM VIEW: GOLDEN PROMISE posted an encouraging second on his debut over timber here last month and looks sure to improve with that experience under his belt. He can get off the mark. Duc de Beauchene also made a promising start in this discipline and is feared most, whilst hurdlingnewcomers Jarveys Plate and Newtown Boy also command respect. Timeform 123: 1: GOLDEN PROMISE (2) 2: DUC DE BEAUCHENE (1) 3: JARVEYS PLATE (5) Jockey Colours: Light blue, pink star, white cap Timeform says: Plenty to like about his 3 runnerup efforts in bumpers and offered something to work on when third over C&D on hurdles bow 28 days ago.

(Forecast ) JARVEYS PLATE (IRE) 200 D ch g Getaway She's Got To Go P J Brennan F O'Brien Jockey Colours: Red and yellow stripes, yellow sleeves, red armlets, red cap Timeform says: Looked a good prospect when taking 13runner bumper at Perth (16.2f, soft) on NH debut in April. Switches to hurdling now and unlikely to be wanting for fitness on return.

However, JURBY ended last season with a victory over hurdles and returns with his yard amongst the winners, so he is narrowly selected to come out on top. Brelan d'as isn't the easiest to assess but he's not one to write off and, along with Irish Prophecy, heads the dangers. Timeform 123: 1: JURBY (2) 2: BRELAN D'AS (1) 3: IRISH PROPHECY (3) Jockey Colours: Emerald green, yellow hoops, white cap Timeform says: Reached a useful level when scoring over hurdles at Wincanton (19.7f) this time 2 years ago. Failed to go on from his chase debut over both sets of obstacles last season but not one to write off. (Forecast 4.00) 2 21P2F1 JURBY 200 D b g Motivator Darariyna L P Aspell O Sherwood 129 Jockey Colours: Emerald green and yellow (quartered), white sleeves and cap Timeform says: Bumper winner who was successful twice over hurdles last term, including final start at Towcester (15.7f, heavy) in April. Returns with yard in good form and he's an interesting chase debutant. (Forecast 3.75) 3 11/1264 IRISH PROPHECY (IRE) 205 D b g Azamour Prophets Honor Adam Wedge Miss E C Lavelle 129 Jockey Colours: Black, black and pink check cap Timeform says: 22 in bumpers and perfect start over hurdles at Sandown (2m) 12 months ago. Didn't go on as expected in 3 starts thereafter but he has had a win operation ahead of this return/chase debut. (Forecast 6.50) GOING GOLD (IRE) 199 b g Gold Well Wednesday Girl R T Dunne Ian Williams 123 Jockey Colours: Violet, white cap Timeform says: Irish point winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle in March.

Goes chasing now and worth a precautionary check in the betting. (Forecast 11.00) 6 10U544 KINGS MONARCH 200 b g Schiaparelli Monarch's View R Johnson Miss Kerry Lee 116 Jockey Colours: Dark blue, pink stripe, striped sleeves, pink cap Timeform says: Irish point winner who shaped with some promise over hurdles last season. Suspicion he has been brought along with chasing in mind and he's yet another requiring a close market check. (Forecast 9.00) 7 P5662P EUREU DU BOULAY (FR) 119 b g Della Francesca Idole Du Boulay t Jamie Bargary Richard Hobson 119 Jockey Colours: Light blue, royal blue sleeves, light blue stars, royal blue cap Timeform says: Pulled up when last seen over hurdles and others more persuasive now chasing from out of the weights.

Down to a very tempting mark as a result on return but others are safer propositions. (Forecast 23.00) POINTED AND SHARP (IRE) 20 b g Scorpion Leamybe Jockey Colours: Emerald green and pink check, striped sleeves, emerald green cap Timeform says: Worcester novice hurdle winner but generally held back by his attitude since, looking halfhearted under pressure at Fontwell last month.

A slog would suit recent heavyground winner Miss Mash and she's feared most, though Sinakar returns from a lengthy break on a good mark if all is well with him.
