13/8
A Group 2 winner on the Flat for Godolphin before losing his way, he has been revitalised by hurdles and has won two of his four starts, including at Kempton last time. Sets the standard here and will be hard to beat despite his double penalty.

9/4
Won on his first start for his new yard when just getting home at Stratford at the beginning of this month. Likely to have come on for the run, he should make a bold bid to follow up..

6/1
A useful performer on the Flat, he has taken well to hurdling, getting off the mark at the second time of asking over C&D in October. He has not been seen since and fitness must be taken on trust, but he is promising and respected.

20/1
A faller two out on his hurdling debut at Ludlow in February. He was weakening at the time, having pulled too hard, so he has questions to answer for his leading stable.

12/1
Fair AW performer who has shown promise on two starts over timber. He might have finished third but for blundering two out last time and should run with credit again without being good enough to trouble the principals.
Last in a bumper and pulled up on his hurdling debut on his only two starts. Little hope on the evidence of those efforts.

The Blue Bomber8
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: M R Channon| OR:  120
9/2
In front when falling three out at Market Rasen last time, this consistent sort has strong claims on the pick of his form against some useful novices. Gets weight off his main rivals and has a decent chance.
Moderate Flat performer who made mistakes when fourth of eight for his new stable on his hurdling debut at Fakenham. Needs to show major improvement if he is to make an impact.
9
Horse silk
100/1
Unplaced in 13 races under Rules, including three hurdles. A complete outsider.

Forecasts

Excellent Result (13/8), I'll Be Your Clown (9/4), The Blue Bomber (9/2), Hollywood Road (6/1), Jodies Jem (12/1), Bettatogether (20/1), Hatem (40/1), Sayedaati Saadati (100/1), Potters Grenadier (200/1)

Verdict

A decent novices' hurdle in which Excellent Result has a big chance despite his double penalty. I'll Be Your Clown and Hollywood Road also have claims, but perhaps THE BLUE BOMBER, in receipt of weight, can finally get his head in front.
  1. The Blue Bomber
  2. Excellent Result
  3. I'll Be Your Clown
