Laurina 14.45 Gowran Park 2 Pts Win @ 2\5 (bog)

Very smart hurdler who racked up six wins in a row at up to 20f before fourth in Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. Makes her eagerly awaited debut over fences now and she's the one to beat. 

1st @ 2\5 -  tracked leaders, jumped well, 2nd 4 out, improved to lead travelling well 3 out, went clear before last, stayed on strongly run-in, eased, impressive

Abacadabras 13.00 Navan 1 Pt Win @ 6\5 (bog)

Highly promising sort. 9/10, career best when winning Grade 3 novice at this course (16f, heavy) 14 days ago, plenty in hand. Step up in trip unlikely to be an issue and he's the one to beat.

Non Runner

Lucky Robin 14.25 Musselburgh 1 Pt WIn @ 6\4 (bog)

Arrives here in resurgent form, completing a hurdles/chase 4-timer at Perth 61 days ago. Up another 5 lb but could still be ahead of the handicapper.

Terrierman 14.30 Southwell 1 Pt Win @ 4\7 (bog)

1st @ 4\7 - tracked leaders on inside, led before 2 out, driven out

Eceparti 13.15 Wetherby 4 Pts Win @ 4\6 (bog)

Made an impressive return to chasing when scoring readily in a stronger race than this at Chepstow 7 days ago and, provided the race doesn't come too soon, should take all the beating again.

Deja Vue 13.00 FFos Las 3 Pts Win @ 4\11 (bog)

1st @ 4\11 - made all, drew well clear 2 out, very easily, unchallenged (1 hurdle omitted)

Paisley park 15.00 Newbury 3 Pts Win @ 8\13 (bog)

Top staying hurdler who capped an unblemished season with brilliant win in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham, storming clear in his trademark style from the last. Impossible to oppose on his return.

Paisley park 15.00 Newbury 3 Pts Win @ 8\13 (bog)

1st @ 8\13 -  tracked leaders in 3rd until 7th, handy 4th, challenged on outside 3 out, led before last, shaken up always doing enough run-in

Buveur D'air 14.05 Newcastle 3 Pts WIn @ 4\11 (bog)

Fell when bidding for Champion Hurdle hat-trick in March. Bounced back from that with Aintree second and Punchestown win later in spring and can't be opposed as he bids to land third success in this.

2nd - held up in 3rd, went 2nd behind clear leader (winner) when shaken up after 3 out, hit next, 1 length down last, ridden and stayed on to challenge flat, just held

I'm to Blame 12.50 Carlisle 2 Pts Win @ 1\8 (bog)

Three-time winner who matched his useful form in that sphere when second on 2½m course chase bow last month, jumping well. Drop back in trip no problem. Hard to beat.

Non Runner 

Lisp 13.00 Plumpton 2 Pts WIn @ 2\9 (bog)

Useful hurdler who caught the eye when fourth in a listed handicap at Ascot on return. Shaped better than the bare result sent chasing at Warwick next time and this looks an excellent opportunity.

Just to catch up on last few days

Lisp - Won

Early Morning Rain  Won

Ballyellis - NR

Blow By Blow - 2nd

Sporting John 12.55 Exeter 5 Pts WIn @ 2\7 (bog)

Successful on his sole outing in points and looked a very useful prospect when making a winning hurdling debut over C&D last month, quickening well run-in. Open to significant improvement.

Native River 14.40 Aintree 5 Pts Win @ 4\5 (bog)

Outstayed Might Bite to land 2018 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Couldn't quite hit the same heights last season but still thereabouts in top company. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. The one to beat.

Sporting John 12.55 Exeter 5 Pts WIn @ 2\7 (bog)

1st @ 2\7 -  always prominent, poised to challenge after 4 out, led after next, pushed clear between last 2, in no danger after, easily

Native River 14.40 Aintree 5 Pts Win @ 4\5 (bog)

1st @ 5\6 -  prominent, led 3rd, left well clear next, even further clear 12th, not fluent 3 out, unchallenged

Cilaos Emery 14.35 Cork 5 Pts Win @ 11\10 (bog)

Very smart chaser. 4/9, career best when winning 4-runner Poplar Square Chase at Naas (16f, soft) 29 days ago by 9½ lengths from Ornua, comfortably. Should progress.

1st @ 11\10 -  chased leader in 2nd, slight mistake 3rd, closer after 5 out, challenged and slight mistake 4 out, led 3 out, pushed out briefly to assert after next, clear before last, ridden and kept on strongly run-in

Guena Des Mottes 14.15 Musselburgh 3 Pts WIn @ 10\11 (bog)

Decent jumps pedigree and won minor event over hurdles at Fontainebleau on debut for Francois Nicolle in April. Joined a respected yard and very much one to consider.

Gelboe De Chanay 13.30 Fontwell 2 Pts Win @ 1\4 (bog)

Ran to a useful level first time up over hurdles when easily making all in listed newcomers race at Auteuil in April. Since joined leading connections so makes obvious appeal.

Fell -  tracked leaders, 2nd going well enough before 2 out, 2 lengths down when fell last

Keppage 15.00 Leicester 1 Pt WIn @ 4\11 (bog)

Getaway gelding. In second when falling at the last sole point start and posted a useful effort when making a successful bumper debut at Chepstow last month. Good prospect.

1st @ 4\11 - led, jumped very slow and headed 1st, tracked leaders, jumped badly left and slow 2nd, led before 2 out, kept on well towards finish

Not Never 13.30 Taunton 4 Pts Win @ 4\11 (bog)

Has a good strike rate and shaped as if he'd come on for the run when sixth in a handicap at Plumpton last month. Obvious claims dropped in grade.

Chuvelo 15.20 Bangor 5 Pts Win @ 1\5 (bog)

Confirmed debut promise (for Sam Curling) when readily opening his account on debut for new yard at Carlisle last time. Should have little trouble defying a penalty.

1st @ 1\5 -  made all, clear over 2f out, unchallenged

First Flow 13.45 Hereford 5 Pts Win @ 1\12 (bog)

Useful 2m hurdler who returned from an absence with a promising chase debut at Uttoxeter, going down to the revitalised 2018 Supreme winner. Occupied same spot at Ascot and this is a good opening.

1st @ 1\9 :lol -  made all, soon clear, unchallenged

Blackbow 11.30 Navan 5 Pts Win @ 4\9 (bog)

Promising sort. 4/9, second of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 36 days ago. Hood on 1st time and, likely to strip fitter this time, he's very much the one to beat.

Thomas MacDonagh 14.05 Ffos Las 6 Pts Win @ 2\7 (bog

Fairly useful in bumpers and on the up as a hurdler, building on his Hexham maiden success with a comfortable handicap debut victory at Wetherby (19.7f) 3 weeks ago. Big player despite a penalty.

1st @ 1\3 - close up in 2nd, led narrowly after 3rd, not fluent 3 out, asserted clear before last, pushed out, comfortably

Strong Glance 15.10 Fakenham 6 Pts Win @ 1\2 (bog)

Useful dual bumper winner for Fergal O'Brien. Failed to match that form in 3 runs over hurdles last season, though did face some stiff tasks and remains with potential for new yard.

2nd - raced wide towards rear, headway 3 out, edged left and approaching last, ridden and stayed on

Magic of Light 13.55 Newbury 7 Pts Win @ 3\10 (bog)

Very smart chaser, including second in Grand National in April. Also won this race last year and should be spot on for a repeat after a spin over hurdles last month.

Magic of Light 13.55 Newbury 7 Pts Win @ 3\10 (bog)

1st @ 2\5 - not that fluent and jumped right at times, made all, jumped slowly 4th, quickened before 4 out, joined 2 out, going best when left well clear last

Lossiemouth 13.20 Exeter 7 Pts WIn @ 13\8 (bog)

Dual bumper winner. Similar form both starts over hurdles, runner-up at Ayr last time. Remains open to improvement, especially if brushing up his jumping.

2nd - not fluent 1st, raced wide tracking leaders, stumbled badly bend before 2nd, slightly lost place 5th, rallied after omitted 4 out, went 2nd 3 out, no chance with winner, went left and mistake last

Angels Breath 12.45 Ascot 8 Pts Win @ 2\7 (bog)

Point winner who won Grade 2 hurdle on debut under Rules, and looked a smashing chase prospect when impressive winner here (19f) on return last month. Sure to progress over fences and hard to beat.
