FORM 13606 D

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair bumper performer who wasn’t seen to best effect when sixth of 13 in Wetherby novice (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. However, percentage call is to look elsewhere.

2022: CLEAR WHITE LIGHT 6 10 10 Edward Austin 11-1 (Sandy Forster) 8 ran

PLAY SMARTER

Slight preference is for BELLA BLISS, who was far from disgraced in testing ground last time and should find conditions more in her favour here. Eclair d’Ainay and Rock Hurley may provide the chief threat.

PLAY SMARTER

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and Gary Hanmer’s new recruit PATAGONIA looks the way to go nudged up only 1lb for his very good Wetherby runner-up effort last month. Cudgel is always to be much respected round here and is next on the list ahead of another C&D scorer Going Mobile.

PLAY SMARTER

BOIS GUILLBERT looks a jumper to follow for the Grand National-winning yard and can defy a double penalty to remain unbeaten over hurdles. Tintintin is the clear danger with Prontoanita one to note on her hurdles debut after a couple of encouraging efforts in bumpers.

PLAY SMARTER

GIPSY LEE ROSE has failed to threaten so far this season but may well again come good in this race, which she won off a 6lb higher mark 12 months ago. Morozov Cocktail is capable of a bold show, while Ex S’Elance and Maid of Houxty both merit respect. However, point-winner Lights Are Green can be expected to raise his game now upped in trip for this chase/handicap debut and he is second choice.

Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No. 8.

Stewards Note: MAUGHOLD HEAD: Following its run on 26/12/2022 it was reported that the horse ran too freely

HATTONS GARDENS: Following its run on 18/3/2023 it was reported that the horse would prefer a quicker surface.

JIMMY RABBITTE: Following its run on 29/3/2023 it was reported that the horse would prefer a sounder surface.

Probable S.P’s: 13-2 Burrows Hall (FR), 8-1 Moonlight Glory (IRE), 17-2 Five Dollar Fine (IRE), 10-1 Maughold Head (GB), 11-1 Hattons Gardens (IRE), 12-1 Longstone Cowboy (IRE), Halpha Soleil (FR), Exit To Where (FR), 14-1 For Jim (IRE), 22-1 Balkalin (FR), Noble Affair (IRE), 25-1 Global Agreement (GB), Hungry Tiger (IRE), 28-1 Brian’s Jet (IRE), 50-1 Jimmy Rabbitte (IRE)

Although BURROWS HALL failed to see it out on his previous attempt at this trip connections are clearly happy to give it another go and he’s likely still well treated on the back of a 6lb rise for his quite comfortable Carlisle success. Moonlight Glory has a win and 2 seconds to show for her last 3 outings over hurdles and should make her presence felt again. Maughold Head and Hattons Gardens need to shrug off tame efforts last time but had shown promise prior to that and remain unexposed.

PLAY SMARTER

DROP FLIGHT showed fairly useful form when runner-up a couple of times earlier in the year and he was out of his depth last time, so he’s worth a chance to get the better of Firak, who also merits plenty of respect. Recent Carlisle scorer Billy Bronco is also considered.
