Has been in good heart lately and won handicap hurdles here and at Fontwell on his last two starts. He has gone up 13lb for those, but the services of his promising 5lb claimer will help in that regard and he is respected.
Won a couple of handicap hurdles when trained in Ireland, but three starts since joining this stable have not been encouraging. Has dropped 15lb since the first of them and rider takes off a further 7lb. Feasible contender if finding his form.
Dual AW Flat race winner for Richard Hannon, but has had his limitations exposed over timber in three outings for current trainer and was well held on the Flat last time. Goes handicapping with something to prove in a first-time hood.
Showed some promise in four bumpers and has not been disgraced in novice hurdles, including over C&D last time. First run in a handicap and one to note in the betting.
Off the mark on his first start for this yard and his 21st attempt over hurdles when scoring at Market Rasen. Has since been beaten in a couple of handicaps on the Flat (odds-on in both) and this return to timber under his top jockey should suit.
Won off 7lb lower at Newton Abbot last October, but has been well held since, although her latest effort, when hampered at the start, was no disgrace. Might need to drop a few pounds if she is to be a force again.
Blinkered for the first time when winning an AW Flat contest on his second start for this yard.. Has been beaten four times in handicaps on the level since then and this return to hurdles should see him a better light.
Irish import who has won one of his 16 starts over hurdles and starts out for a new stable. Hard to know what to expect, but worth a check in the betting.
Has been mixing hurdling with Flat racing since the start of the year, but remains a maiden after 14 starts. He was beaten a long way over timber at Stratford last time and will do well to trouble the best of these off 2lb lower.
Forecasts
Gold Class (2/1), Prince Khurram (7/2), Mr Lando (11/2), Khismet (7/1), Ritasun (9/1), The Otmoor Poet (11/1), St Peter's Square (16/1), Deshan (25/1), Dollar And A Dream (25/1)
Despite his lofty burden, Prince Khurram is the obvious starting point. He has to be respected in his current vein of form and his promising rider takes off a valuable 5lb. Dollar And A Dream has dropped to a dangerous mark and could be a threat, but GOLD CLASS looks the one to be on. He has been beaten at odds-on in Flat races on his last two starts, but won over timber on his first outing for his current yard and reverts to hurdles with the champion jockey booked. Mr Lando is another who should be suited by the return to hurdling.
- Gold Class
- Prince Khurram
