Amadeus Rox^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| OR: 112

5/2

Placed twice from three starts over hurdles including when runner-up at Wetherby (good) last time out. Yard does well with their representatives in juvenile hurdles and is one for the shortlist today.

Form: 242

Eggesford⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: T Dowling⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs L J Young

66/1

Ran well on Flat debut when fourth at Kempton (1m3f) in February but pulled up on debut over hurdles for this yard last week and probably best watched at present.

Form: P

Figeac^t1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: N P Littmoden

20/1

Three time winner on the Flat in the provinces in France but well beaten on hurdling debut for this yard last month and wears a tongue tie for the first time today.

Form: 8

Golconda Prince⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: R A Fahey| BF

14/1

Placed in eight of his 11 starts on the Flat including when third over an extended 1m at Beverley (good) on his penultimate outing. Disappointed in an amateur riders event last time and market support would be interesting on hurdling debut.

Form:

Jumping Jack¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 108

3/1

Winner on the Flat and placed on his last two hurdling starts most recently when 3L second at Kempton (good) a fortnight ago. Hung badly on that occasion and interesting to see how he performs today.

Form: 432

Keepup Kevin²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: Mrs P Sly

12/1

Successful on soft ground over 1m at Newmarket on the Flat and some fair efforts at up to 1m since. Worth a check in the market on today's hurdling debut.

Form:

Seaborn⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: Tim Vaughan

20/1

Victorious over 1m2f on the AW at Chelmsford in February but well held on debut for this yard at Yarmouth (soft) over an extended 1m3f last time out. Making his hurdling debut today.

Form:

Speedo Boy²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams

9/4

Listed winner on the Flat in France and rated 100 in that sphere following some good runs in competitive staying contests earlier this year. Held third behind a useful looking rival at Chepstow (good) on debut in this sphere last month.

Form: 3

Staff College⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: H Spiller

10/1

Placed on the Flat in France at two but had just three starts this year and well beaten on heavy ground at Chester on Flat handicap debut in September. Making his first appearance over hurdles today.

Forecasts

Speedo Boy (9/4), Amadeus Rox (5/2), Jumping Jack (3/1), Staff College (10/1), Keepup Kevin (12/1), Golconda Prince (14/1), Figeac (20/1), Seaborn (20/1), Eggesford (66/1)

This particular contest looks weaker than the one in which SPEEDO BOY finished third in at Chepstow last month and the useful Flat performer can get off the mark at the second time of asking in this sphere for trainer Ian Williams. The good ground forecast should suit the selection and he can see off top weight Amadeus Rox who can register another placed effort having finished runner-up on two of his three hurdles starts so far. Jumping Jack who placed in a similar race to this here on his penultimate outing can take third today.
