5/6

Decent prospect who is 4-5 so far and carries a penalty here for a debut hurdling win at Carlisle last month. Acts on soft ground and will be tough to beat here.

Almontaser²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans

100/1

0-10 on the Flat, where he is officially rated just 39. Half-brother to a 2m1f hurdle winner, but can only watch on his debut in this code.

Bredon Hill Leo³⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

100/1

Showed a bit of promise on debut here in a bumper in the spring of last year, but has now been off for 13-months after his next outing at Chepstow. Bred to do this, however, and a market check looks prudent on his hurdling debut.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: T Symonds

66/1

Placed in an Irish point-to-point in May and sold privately for £10,000 in August. Some promise from his National Hunt pedigree, and interesting to see what the market makes of his chance.

Eceparti³⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

20/1

Showed a fair bit of promise in France last year, where he won a chase. Interesting on his British debut.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A J Honeyball| BF

16/1

Was the 12L winner of a Wincanton bumper in December, but well below that form in both subsequent runs. Tongue tie may help on his return from a break and he is bred for this game. Revival would not surprise.

Mick Manhattan²¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| CD

12/1

Ran on well to deny the odds-on favourite in a bumper here (soft) on debut in April. Dam a half-sister to a useful 2m hurdle winner, and this gelding is another interesting newcomer in the line-up.

Form: 1-

80/1

Well held on his recent hurdles debut at Hereford. Can only watch.

Remastered²⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| D

9/4

Looked useful when winning a Chepstow bumper comfortably on his stable debut in February. Should be well prepared for this hurdling debut and it would be no surprise to see him go close.

Form: 26/21-

Rooster Cogburn^h1⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: P & M Bowen

25/1

Not devoid of promise in a similar race here on good ground in May. Disappointed when stepped up to 2m4f in August, so has a bit to prove, including on soft ground.

Form: 6/644-4P

Smiths Cross²¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Scudamore| BF| D

6/1

Beaten at odds-on by Mick Manhattan here last time, when trying to defy a penalty in a bumper. That was still a very decent effort. Much respected on this hurdling debut.

The Lion Roars¹²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

33/1

Respectable third here on debut in a maiden bumper (2m, good to firm) in July. Should win races, but this is not an easy start to his hurdling career.

Form: 3

Tyrolean²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Jodie Hughes⁽⁷⁾| T: D Burchell

100/1

Maiden under both codes, his hurdles debut at Uttoxeter ending in a 28L defeat. Watch.

Forecasts

Good Boy Bobby (5/6), Remastered (9/4), Smiths Cross (6/1), Mick Manhattan (12/1), Lechlade Magician (16/1), Eceparti (20/1), Rooster Cogburn (25/1), The Lion Roars (33/1), Street Art (66/1), Cobra Commander (66/1), Mustaaqeem (80/1), Bredon Hill Leo (100/1), Almontaser (100/1), Tyrolean (100/1)

Little strength in depth and GOOD BOY BOBBY may well be capable of defying a penalty and backing up his last-time win. Remastered could emerge as the big danger, with Lechlade Magician another potential player. Smiths Cross and Eceparti are the most interesting debutants.
