Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott

100/1

Only minimal promise in bumpers at Warwick and Wincanton earlier this year. Should do better now he is hurdling, but is probably best watched.

Form: 69-

Duarigle¹⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: P Henderson

100/1

Point-to-point winner in Ireland in February and makes his hurdling debut for a new stable. The experience is likely to be needed.

Form: P1-5

Eldorado Allen²⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: C L Tizzard

4/1

Plenty of promise in a bumper and a hurdles contest when trained in France. Debut for a top stable which is a little quiet at present.

Form: 23-

Elite Garde²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber

66/1

Promise on bumper debut at Warwick, but failed to build on that at Fakenham. Not totally dismissed on hurdling debut, but need to improve for jumping.

Form: 40-

Finawn Bawn¹⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Fergus Gregory⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| D

12/1

Robin Des Champs gelding who cost €15,000 as a two-year-old and whose dam is an unraced sister to Bellflower Boy, who won over hurdles and fences. Comfortable winner of an Ayr bumper on debut and an obvious contender on his hurdling bow,

Form: 1

Let's Get At It¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: O Murphy

100/1

Little to shout about in three hurdles starts. Stable looks to have a stronger contender in Finawn Bawn.

Form: 74-965

No Getaway¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

66/1

Half-brother to Grand National winner One For Arthur who has been well held in both starts over hurdles. Looks sure to do better once he is stepped up in trip.

Form: 55-48

Oakley¹⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

4/1

Definite signs of promise in both starts in bumpers in the spring. Jumping debut for a yard in good form and has to be respected.

Form: 35-

Sevarano²¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood| D

5/4

Comfortable winner of a Kempton bumper on debut, and was by no means disgraced in a much stiffer contest at Aintree. In the same ownership as Oakley and it will be interesting to see how the market prices them up as he makes his hurdling debut.

Form: 15-

Star Of Lanka²⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex

9/1

Good efforts in bumpers when trained by Sally Haynes. Makes his hurdling debut for a new yard and is worth a check in the betting.

Form: 133-

Storm Wizard

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams

25/1

Milan gelding who fetched €36,000 as a three-year-old and is a brother to the very smart Monalee. Eyecatching pedigree, but will be suited by further in due course and stable has yet to strike form.

Form:

West To The Bridge^h,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

16/1

Promise in bumpers, but did not shine on his hurdling debut at Fakenham. Stable jockey prefers him to No Getaway, but he has something to find.

Form: D825-5

Cangodemayo²⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling

80/1

Point-to-point winner who has shown little in two outings over hurdles. Returns from a break and may yet do better,

Haventthefroggiest¹⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁷⁾| T: D L Williams

200/1

Beat only one rival in two maiden hurdles at Worcester during the summer. Plenty to prove following his absence from the track.

Form: 800

Forecasts

Sevarano (5/4), Eldorado Allen (4/1), Oakley (4/1), Star Of Lanka (9/1), Finawn Bawn (12/1), West To The Bridge (16/1), Storm Wizard (25/1), No Getaway (66/1), Elite Garde (66/1), Cangodemayo (80/1), Duarigle (100/1), Let's Get At It (100/1), Building Futures (100/1), Haventthefroggiest (200/1)

Plenty of unexposed young horses in this maiden hurdle and the jumping debutants which most catch the eye are Finawn Bawn, Oakley, Sevarano, Star Of Lanka and ELDORADO ALLEN. The latter's top stable has not been firing in the winners of late, but there have been hints that could be about to change and the selection's form in France suggests he can play a leading role. Storm Wizard has a lovely pedigree and is one to watch with the future in mind.
