TomorrowAugust 31, 2025HurdleClass 42m

DROMBEG LAD was runner-up to Nana Noodleman in a bumper at this track prior to making an encouraging hurdles debut when second at Uttoxeter and he's fancied to go one better. Washpool has been brought along gradually over hurdles and ran his best race when third over C&D last time. He's the main danger ahead of Nana Noodleman, who proved a let-down on hurdles bow here last month but is worth another chance.

    Verdict
    Australia gelding. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Rossvoss. Showed ability but held back by inexperience when fifth of 12 in bumper at this C&D (heavy) on NH debut. Subsequently left David Simcock and market should guide expectations on stable/hurdle debut.

    Verdict
    Runner-up to Nana Noodleman in a course bumper in June, only narrowly denied in a sprint finish. Shaped well on hurdles debut when second of 10 in novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 37 days ago, having conceded first run to the winner. Entitled to progress and leading claims here.

    Has plenty of size about him but has shown little in two hurdles starts at this course, latest over markedly further. Likely to need more time.

    Went the wrong way in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien and has shown little over hurdles for current connections. Has plenty of improvement to find.

    Verdict
    From a useful jumping family but showed nothing on sole start for James Moffatt, eleventh of 12 in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, soft) on debut in April 2024. Would need to take a huge step forward on reappearance/stable debut.

    Verdict
    Showed a bit when fourth of 8 in a Fairyhouse bumper for Mrs Caroline McCaldin in November 2023 and was successful in both starts in Irish points in 2024. Absent since and needs a market check ahead of hurdling debut for new connections.

    Verdict
    Runner-up sole start in points and has shaped with promise over hurdles, making more of an impact in a lesser event than previously contested when third of 12 in novice hurdle over C&D (good) 38 days ago, considerately handled once held. Plenty of stamina in pedigree and should go progressing.

    Well beaten in Kempton/Chepstow bumpers for Tom Weston and offered little on debut for new yard when tenth of 12 in bumper at this C&D (good to firm) 67 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with plenty to prove.

    Verdict
    Flat-bred but hasn't looked speedy in bumpers, again carrying little win threat when fifth of 8 in bumper (10/1) at Bangor (16.7f, good) 141 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and is difficult to make a strong case for unless market hints at improvement.

    Verdict
    Berkshire mare. Dam half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner (stayed 2½m) Rooster Booster. Second in a point and showed plenty of pace when going one place better from Drombeg Lad in a course bumper. Wasn't persevered with when disappointing on hurdles debut over C&D but could be worth another chance.
