Pourquoi Pas Papa
In receipt of weight from the field, this looks a good opportunity for POURQUOI PAS PAPA to get off the mark following a hat-trick of runner-up finishes. Aguellid has plenty of potential and will be a serious danger if settling better, while Bright Legend can be competitive if recapturing his Irish form. One-time useful Flat stayer Galashiels and point winner Mossy Fen Coolio both warrant a market check.

Solid second on hurdle debut for David Cottin (sold for €200,000) and has filled the same position in both starts for new yard, looking the likely winner before tying up late at Exeter (16.7f) 20 days ago. Receives handy weight allowance and may go one better over this slightly shorter trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter2m 161yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/14Sandown Park1m 7f 216ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle2/8Clairefontaine2m 198yVery softHurdle2/12- 1AguellidJ: Sean HoulihanT: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White4-32Age 511/411/45/2

Ran to a fairly useful level on hurdle bow in France but has undermined his obvious potential by pulling hard on both starts in U.K, latterly in a first-time hood (retained) when chasing home a more professional sort at Hereford (16.2f) 17 days ago. Dangerous if racing more efficiently here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHereford2m 53ySoftHurdle2/12Exeter2m 161yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/12Auteuil2m 1f 197yVery softHurdle4/12Craon1m 6f 201yVery softFlat6/16- 10Mossy Fen CoolioJ: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.T: Jonjo & A.J.

€80,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Dam (h107) 21f hurdle winner out of smart 2m-3m hurdle winner Whiteoak. Easy winner of Irish point in February and is one to note on hurdle/stable debut.- 3Bright LegendJ: Isabelle RyderT: Faye Bramley-P64633Age 69/19/110/1

Maiden winner on the Flat and produced some fairly useful hurdle form for Denis Hogan in Ireland. Yet to recapture that form with pair placed efforts on these shores but hasn't been long with capable yard and would be interesting if back to something like his best.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTaunton2m 3f 1yGoodHurdle3/7Fontwell Park2m 1f 162yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/10Listowel2m 6fGood to YieldingChase6/8Killarney2m 1fGood to YieldingChase4/7Galway2m 2f 54yGoodChase6/9- 6GalashielsJ: Nico de BoinvilleT: Nicky Henderson5Age 79/19/18/1

Very useful on Flat (stays 15f) for Andre Fabre (changed hands for 220,000 gns) but no impact in 2 Flat outings for current yard and fared little better on hurdle debut (11/1) at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) last month.

Cheap purchase given his good pedigree and he showed a bit until a rather headstrong display caught up with him on bumper debut at Chepstow last month.

Placed both completed starts in Irish points but looks to be being brought along steadily over hurdles for current yard, not given hard time at Fontwell (19.1f, soft) 18 days ago.

Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 2¼m) Spy. Fair maiden on Flat for David Simcock (sold for 4,000 gns in October 2024) but has been off for 18 months prior to this hurdle/stable debut and is entitled to need this (wears first-time tongue strap).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 6f 21yStandard / SlowFlat4/5Goodwood1m 3f 218yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/7Redcar1m 2f 1ySoftFlat5/10Wolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat5/6Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat3/9- 12Stone ColdJ: Stan SheppardT: Matt Sheppard656Age 550/150/166/1

Modest maiden on the Flat (sold out of Robert Eddery yard for £5,000) and no show in either start for new yard, latest on Taunton hurdles bow following further 20-month absence.

Second in 3-runner event sole start in Irish points (Apr 2025) and shaped a bit better than on hurdle debut when midfield in first-time hood (retained) at Taunton (150/1) 3 weeks ago.
