13/8
Dual winner over hurdles including over C&D on good ground here in May. Followed up at Uttoxeter next time and is one for the shortlist in a first time tongue tie having fallen in a handicap contest last time out.

3/1
Maiden hurdle winner at Towcester (2m3f, good-to-soft) prior to finishing fourth at Uttoxeter (good) last time out. Should stay this trip and is an interesting runner today.

Colonial Dreams220
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: N J Henderson
6/4
Winning for the first time when coming home 26L clear of three rivals in a Southwell (good) bumper in April. Had some solid form in bumpers prior to that and represents a leading stable on hurdling debut.
4
Horse silk
Cranbrook Causeway24
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson
100/1
Fell late on in a point-to-point in Ireland in March but failed to beat a rival home on hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) earlier this month and others make more appeal.

Garrane12
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott
100/1
Failed to win in seven point-to-point starts and well beaten in three outings over hurdles this autumn. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.
6
Horse silk
One Leader43
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan
50/1
Fair effort when finishing 14L seventh of nine in a Chepstow (good) bumper on debut last month. Likely needs to improve on that if he's to register a victory on today's hurdling debut.

Horse silk
Scarborough Boy638
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: C J Mann
10/1
Ran well to finish runner-up in a maiden point-to-point at Black Forest Lodge (good-to-soft) in February last year. Unseen since and probably best watched on his rules debut following a long absence.
8
Horse silk
Taken By Force238
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-12| J: C Poste| T: T H Weston
33/1
Placed twice in maiden point-to-points earlier this year but finished well beaten in a Huntingdon bumper on good ground when making his debut under rules in April. Making his seasonal and hurdles debut today.

Forecasts

Colonial Dreams (6/4), Robin The Raven (13/8), Crucial Role (3/1), Scarborough Boy (10/1), Taken By Force (33/1), One Leader (50/1), Garrane (100/1), Cranbrook Causeway (100/1)

Verdict

COLONIAL DREAMS is improving with racing and having put in a career best effort when winning a Southwell bumper in April he can make a winning debut for the in form (12/47) Nicky Henderson yard in this novices hurdle. The selection can be given most to do by the penalised runner Robin The Raven who has run to a good level of form so far and can claim second having won two of his four hurdles outings to date. Crucial Role is taken to finish third having put in a promising effort on his return to action at Uttoxeter at the start of the month.
