14/1

Bumper winner for Micky Hammond and recorded a first completion over hurdles when 11L fourth at Market Rasen (good) in April. Worth a check in the market on seasonal debut.

100/1

Handicap winner over 1m4f at Epsom (good-to-soft) in August. Struggled on last two starts in that sphere and probably best watched on second start over hurdles.

Badly hampered and unseated his rider at the first when debuting at Exeter (2m1f, soft) just over 12 months ago. Interesting to see how he fares in this contest.

16/1

Completed a Newbury double when winning over an extended 1m5f on good-to-firm ground in July. Well beaten there the following month and market support would be notable on hurdling debut.

Good second over an extended 2m at Stratford (good) on hurdling debut in September. Disappointing prior to unseating at Southwell subsequently however.

Three time Flat winner but disappointing in that sphere since winning over 1m4f at Chepstow (good-to-firm) in May. Making his hurdling debut in this contest.

Dual bumper winner in France including in a Grade 1 contest over an extended 1m4f at Saint-Cloud last November. Joined a top stable and is one for the shortlist on her debut over hurdles.

Forecasts

Epatante (8/15), Woulduadamandeveit (6/1), Gaelic Prince (6/1), Ey Up Rocky (14/1), Outofthequestion (16/1), Thibault (25/1), Special Acceptance (25/1), Takbeer (25/1), Panko (33/1), Buachaill Beag (66/1), Foresee (100/1), Greenview Paradise (100/1), River Dart (100/1)

OUTOFTHEQUESTION showed decent form on the Flat and he is taken to make a winning hurdling debut for a trainer who has taken this race twice in the last ten years. The selection can get the better of Grade 1 winning bumper horse Epatante who is making her first start in just under a year while third place can go the way of Woulduadamandevelt who showed good form in bumpers earlier this year.
