Cheeky Rascal^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁷⁾| T: O Sherwood

25/1

Favourite when making a winning debut over hurdles at Wincanton, but was beaten a long way at Fontwell a week ago. Bit to prove for the time being.

Form: 18

Fanfan Du Seuil⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: T R George

7/2

Winner of a hurdle in France before joining current stable for whom he was running a decent race before falling two out at Chepstow. Enters the equation on the assumption his confidence has not been shaken.

Form: 1-F

Our Power¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| D

11/8

Lightly-raced, but quite talented on the Flat. Justified favouritism on his hurdling bow at Market Rasen and has to go on the short list for his respected stable.

Form: 1

Banksy's Art¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: M R Channon

12/1

Moderate maiden on the Flat and was beaten 16L when third of five to Our Power on his jumping debut at Market Rasen. Hard to see him turning the tables.

Form: 3

Bunch Of Thyme¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner

50/1

Unplaced in three starts on the Flat and two attempts at hurdling have revealed only limited ability. Others preferred.

Form: 35

Johni Boxit⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: B Barr

125/1

Won a 1m selling handicap on the Flat for Gay Kelleway and makes his hurdling debut for a new stable. No guarantee he will have the necessary stamina.

Form:

Mantovani¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry

2/1

Definite signs of ability in two starts on the Flat for James Fanshawe. Makes his jumping debut for a new yard and is an intriguing contender

Form:

Metatrons Cube¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Stan Sheppard⁽³⁾| T: M Sheppard

20/1

Landed a 1m2f handicap on the Flat for Charlie Hills and showed some aptitude for hurdling when fourth on his debut over timber at Ludlow. Should improve and has place possibilities.

Form: 4

True Thoughts¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: Mrs L J Young

200/1

Unplaced in four starts on the Flat in France. Jumping debut for his new stable and is probably best watched.

Form:

Golden Footsteps⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Graham Carson⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Gillard

100/1

Unseated her rider on her only previous start over hurdles when trained by Jessica Harrington. Debut for this yard and her Flat form suggests she may struggle.

Form: U

Powerful Society²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 102

40/1

Best effort in four starts over hurdles when second of 10 at Fakenham last time. Needs to take another step forward.

Form: 05U2

Weight: 10-12| Age: 3

Forecasts

Our Power (11/8), Mantovani (2/1), Fanfan Du Seuil (7/2), Banksy's Art (12/1), Metatrons Cube (20/1), Cheeky Rascal (25/1), Powerful Society (40/1), Bunch Of Thyme (50/1), Golden Footsteps (100/1), Amenhotepthethird (100/1), Johni Boxit (125/1), True Thoughts (200/1)

Mantovani is an interesting newcomer to hurdling, while Cheeky Rascal and Fanfan Du Seuil have winning form over timber and enter calculations. However, the one to be on looks to be OUR POWER, a decent Flat performer who made a winning jumping debut at Market Rasen. Metatrons Cube shaped quite well on his jumping bow and should improve.
