10/11
Won both starts in point-to-points and landed maiden hurdle at Market Rasen in November. Run to similar level of form in defeat since, finishing fourth in Grade 2 company at Warwick last month. Holds strong claims.

Peak To Peak16
Age: 14|  Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: P F Nicholls
4/1
Won only point-to-point start and made winning debut for this yard in Fontwell maiden hurdle. Well beaten next time but that was in Grade 1 Challow Hurdle. Better expected today.

Agamemmon30
Age: 14|  Weight: 11-4| J: R Johnson| T: T Lacey
9/2
Winner of a point-to-point and a bumper. Kept on well into fourth behind useful Bags Groove at Taunton on hurdles debut. Each-way claims.

Horse silk
Ballymountain Boy35
Age: 15|  Weight: 11-4| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: M Keighley
13/2
Point-to-point winner and good level of form in bumpers, scoring at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. Fair third at Ludlow on hurdles debut but more needed in this tougher race.

Horse silk
Flower Ball54
Age: 14|  Weight: 11-4| J: L P Aspell| T: H Whittington
50/1
Well beaten at Chepstow on hurdling debut and showed little at Fakenham next time. Difficult to see him playing a leading role.

Kilinakin14
Age: 16|  Weight: 11-4| J: W Featherstone(5)| T: Miss Z C Davison
100/1
Won a point-to-point last spring. Pulled up when 40-1 for hurdles debut at Fontwell in November. Can't be seriously considered in this company.

Paladinh23
Age: 17|  Weight: 11-4| J: S Corby(3)| T: M Blake
66/1
Pulled up in seller when last running over hurdles but has improved on AW since, winning two of last three. Could go well at likely decent odds.

Age: 14|  Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill
150/1
Pulled up or tailed off in three previous runs over hurdles. very difficult to make a case for but yard have returned to form.
9
Horse silk
Sidbury Fair19
Age: 15|  Weight: 10-11| J: Nick Scholfield| T: V R A Dartnall
66/1
Failed to shine in two bumpers and well beaten on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter in December. Needs to show a lot more.
10
Horse silk
Silent Steps17
Age: 15|  Weight: 10-11| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson
12/1
Point-to-point winner in the spring. Modest late work both starts over hurdles and likely to find a few rivals too speedy.

Forecasts

Get On The Yager (10/11), Peak To Peak (4/1), Agamemmon (9/2), Ballymountain Boy (13/2), Silent Steps (12/1), Flower Ball (50/1), Paladin (66/1), Sidbury Fair (66/1), Kilinakin (100/1), Rapanui (150/1)

Verdict

This looks a strong race with several top yards represented. Peak To Peak has already contested a Grade 1 contest over hurdles and, though well beaten that day, remains an interesting prospect. Agamemmon showed plenty of promise behind a useful sort at Taunton on his hurdles debut and should also go well. However, GET ON THE YAGER, fourth in a Grade 2 hurdle at Warwick last time, looks the one to beat. 1. Get On The Yager 2. Peak To Peak 3. Agamemmon
