50/1
Something of a tearaway on the Flat where he achieved a rating of 72. That should put him in the picture for something like this, but he has shown little talent for hurdling. Blinkers replace cheekpieces but he remains one for the optimists.

5/1
By Peace And Co's sire, Falco, out of a dam with a good Flat pedigree who has produced a couple of French middle-distance winners on the Flat. In good hands and the market will reveal more.

Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: N P Littmoden
3/1
Winner of three races in the French provinces. Appears to handle any ground and an interesting first runner for his handler since his return to the training ranks from a two year break.

8/1
Highest rated of these on the Flat. It was a similar story two weeks ago on his hurdling debut when he was too keen and his jumping suffered. Needs to have learnt a lot from the experience.

Knight Destroyer30
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill
6/4
Showed a good turn of foot to score at Chepstow in June which earned him a Flat rating of 77. It was therefore a surprise to see him lack the pace to pass a plating class Flat horse at Cartmel. May have been too keen then and his yard are in form.

15/2
Dual Flat winner picked up for 16,000 gns after landing a Chepstow seller a month ago. Local handler is just 9-117 here and the market will tell us how he has schooled.

Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Cook| T: B Ellison
25/1
Moderate Flat performer who is blinkered for his hurdling debut. Yard have been going well but have a modest 1-29 record at this venue.

Skilful Lordt8
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe
50/1
Poor Flat performer who has not looked any better now switched to hurdling. Tailed off last time and difficult to fancy.

The Batham Boy17
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-12| J: L Heard| T: D M Loughnane
100/1
Proved modest on the Flat over a variety of distances and there was little promise to be gleaned from his hurdling bow.

Last of five at 150/1 on sole start on the Flat. Stable have been quiet lately and she will probably go off at lengthy odds again.

Forecasts

Knight Destroyer (6/4), Figeac (3/1), Hernandes (9/2), Falcon Sun (5/1), Outcrop (15/2), First Up (8/1), Shakabula (25/1), Born Legend (50/1), Skilful Lord (50/1), The Batham Boy (100/1), Keem Bay (100/1)

Verdict

Falcon Sun and Figeac are interesting recruits and both will be worth monitoring in the market. Outcrop is another to note in the ring on his first run for a local trainer. Two wins on the level suggest he is worth watching. Hernandes has place claims judged on his Huntingdon effort, but KNIGHT DESTROYER makes more appeal for win purposes. He was slightly disappointing when failing to settle on his hurdling debut in August but his yard are in better form now than they were then. Jonjo O'Neill's charge showed a smart turn of foot to win at Chepstow this summer and went well there on his most recent start.
  1. Knight Destroyer
  2. Falcon Sun
  3. Hernandes
