Off time: 17:15 | Winning time: 6m 3.92s

A Bold Move^p¹¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 120

4/6

Point-to-point winner back in 2015 (beating the useful Ballyoptic), not reached that form over hurdles yet but in good form and has been found a relatively easy opportunity here. Looks the one to beat, with likely conditions fine.

Form: 164/42-2

Mister Mister^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen⁽⁵⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 105

5/1

Best run to date came at Stratford last time when third (at 100/1) in a maiden hurdle, but that form leaves him short of anything A Bold Move has achieved and although this step up in trip will suit, needs to improve.

Form: 14P-493

Vet Cert⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: R Harris| OR: 102

18/1

Stuck to the task when fourth at Uttoxeter in July and gave the impression this sort of trip would suit, but a poor effort at Newton Abbot last time and needs to bounce back to hold any chance.

Form: 3-2F244

Buster Edwards¹⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe

11/4

Third in only point-to-point start and purchased for 17,000 euros not long after. Wouldn't have to be a worldbeater to get involved here but yard still struggling for winners and on that, may be best watched unless strong in the market.

Form: 3

Brown Revel¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: C Gethings| T: S Flook

50/1

Big prices and tailed off on recent starts, holds no realistic chance here barring accidents to the more fancied rivals.

Form: 43-1355

Forecasts

A Bold Move (4/6), Buster Edwards (11/4), Mister Mister (5/1), Vet Cert (18/1), Brown Revel (50/1)

A BOLD MOVE looks to have been found a very winnable race to get himself off the mark in and he should be up to winning this with the minimum of fuss. Mister Mister looks second best, unless Buster Edwards is up to making an impression on his hurdles debut.
