Moabit^t²⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 134| BF

7/4

Excellent strike rate over hurdles and although not seen since a Flat win in April has gone well before after a break and looks the one to beat.

Form: 234113-

And The New^h²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: N D Fehily| T: J Farrelly| OR: 133

9/4

Front-runner who found 2m5f beyond him on comeback but this trip more suitable and should strip fitter. Could be a player if given an easy lead.

Form: 76/313-0

Lisp²⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 130| CD

3/1

Last seen falling at the third when sent off just 10/1 for the Fred Winter Handicap at the festival. Probably on a fair mark and yard among the winners of late.

Itsonlyrocknroll^t¹⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Aspell| T: C Gordon| OR: 120

20/1

Bought for £16,000 from Willie Mullins in August and had disappointed last two runs in Ireland. Has front run on occasions but hard to assess at present.

Form: 42P3-60

Marmont^h³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: James Davies| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 112

33/1

Returns to hurdles after recent pipe opener over fences but although consistent in this sphere, normally plies his trade in lesser company.

Form: 35122-5

San Pedro De Senam^b¹⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 107

9/1

Tailed off on his only two runs over hurdles for these connections and plenty to prove in this strong contest.

Form: 13U46-6

Forecasts

Moabit (7/4), And The New (9/4), Lisp (3/1), Try Again (9/2), San Pedro De Senam (9/1), Itsonlyrocknroll (20/1), Marmont (33/1)

MOABIT runs here in preference to the Greatwood Hurdle and can make his presence felt in this less exalted company. Lisp looks on a fair mark for his return and along with Try Again seem the main dangers.
