O Mrs Barbara Hester

Olly Murphy, Wilmcote T B Longrove Stud McCoy Contractors S TIMEFORM VIEW Very smart hurdler who scored twice last term and signed off with creditable fifth in Aintree Hurdle over C&D. Yard among the winners and had wind op, so respected despite conceding weight all round. TFRHHHHI BHA156

2 WILDE ABOUT OSCAR (IRE) (211) 11P110- CD 6 11-2

Br B g Oscar (IRE) - Baie Barbara (IRE)

Harry Skelton J O Mike and Eileen Newbould Dan Skelton, Alcester T B Miss Elizabeth Kennedy The Air Ambulance Service (Warwickshire & Northamptonshire) S TIMEFORM VIEW Useful hurdler who looked firmly on the up until turning in a poor effort in C&D handicap in April. This is tougher, but he’s still low mileage and C&D winner is sort to bounce back. TFRHHHII BHA148

3 IF THE CAP FITS (IRE) (210) 123200- C 9 11-0

Br B g Milan - Derravaragh Sayra (IRE) Sean Bowen J

O Mr Simon Munir & Mr Isaac Souede

Harry Fry, Seaborough T B Liam Gilsenan Ptarmigan Media Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Smart hurdler/chaser who ended last term out of sorts, only eleventh in Stayers Hurdle here in the spring. Yard are going well though so this course winner can’t be totally discounted. TFRHHHII BHA150

4 LISNAGAR OSCAR (IRE) (210) 1/402F0- 8 11-0

Br B g Oscar (IRE) - Asta Belle (FR) Adam Wedge J

O Racing for Fun

Rebecca Curtis, Newport T B Denis Fitzgerald William Hill S TIMEFORM VIEW 2020 Stayers’ winner at Cheltenham but he went winless last term and signed off with modest eighth in Stayers Hurdle here in the April. Returns with a bit to prove now. TFRHHHII BHA154

5 SUMMERVILLE BOY (IRE) (301) 25/1455- CD 9 11-0

Br B g Sandmason - Suny House Tom Scudamore J

O Mr R. S. Brookhouse

Tom George, Slad T B Paul Rothwell HBA Media S TIMEFORM VIEW 2018 Supreme Hurdle hero who also landed this contest a year ago. Ended last season below par, but he goes very well fresh and rates a big player at these weights. TFRHHHHH BHA155

6 MARTELLO SKY (GB) (21) 51101-1 D

Br Gr m Martaline - Kentucky Sky O The Sky Partnership

5 10-9

A. P. Heskin J Lucy Wadham, Newmarket T B Mr T. Wood Weatherbys Hamilton LLP S TIMEFORM VIEW Ended a most productive novice season with Cheltenham Listed win and took her form up a notch with ready handicap win at Market Rasen last month. This demands a lot more, but she’s still improving. TFRHHHII BHA141

DECLARED RUNNERS 6 2020: SUMMERVILLE BOY (IRE) 8 11 4 Jonathan Burke 10-3 (Tom George) 6 ran

Tongue Strap worn by No. 1. Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No. 1. Stewards Note: WILDE ABOUT OSCAR: Following its run on 9/4/2021 it was reported that the horse was fatigued from a hard season. Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Brewin’upastorm (IRE), Summerville Boy (IRE), 9-2 Martello Sky (GB), 11-2 Wilde About Oscar (IRE), Lisnagar Oscar (IRE), 10-1 If The Cap Fits (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER SUMMERVILLE BOY goes very well fresh and is favoured at the weights here too so is taken to repeat his victory in this contest 12 months ago. Brewinupastorm ended last term back on song and hails from a yard among the winners so appeals as the one to chase him home, despite having to concede weight all round. If The Cap Fits is another worth considering for an in-form stable.
