Verdict
MANYANA BLUE is out of a mare that did well over hurdles for this yard and, having shown a fair level of ability in a handful of starts on the Flat, there are plenty of reasons to believe she could be up doing the business on her first try in this code. Blue Tempus is another hurdling newcomer to note, while Return With Gold should be capable of bettering his initial effort in this sphere.

VerdictFair on Flat, winning for a second time in AW handicaps this spring when seeing off 9 rivals over 11f at Southwell in April, but couldn't translate that to hurdling at the first attempt when a well-beaten third in 5-runner event at Hexham 17 days ago. Should be capable of better. - 1. Blue TempusJ: Tom BellamyT: Alan King

VerdictFair maiden at best on Flat (raced only at sprint trips), failed to beat a rival in nursery final start in 2024. Makes hurdling debut after 7 months off and his stamina the big worry.
