Capmonfor¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

50/1

Placed in a point-to-point on yielding ground in May. Well beaten on Rules debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good-to-soft) earlier this month and others make more appeal.

Form: 4-378

Chosen Flame²⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin

28/1

Point-to-point winner on yielding-to-soft ground in Ireland in the spring. Interesting to see how he fares on Rules debut.

Form: P43-1

Fisher Green^t1⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes

50/1

Winner on the Flat when debuting at Doncaster (7f, soft) in April 2016. Disappointing in the main since and tongue tie tried for the first time on debut for a new yard.

Form:

Lord Of The Rock³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: C R King| T: L A Mullaney

12/1

Successful three times on the Flat. Decent efforts in two 1m2f starts for previous yard last month and market support would be notable on hurdling and stable debut.

Form:

Manamite¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

9/1

Dual Flat winner on soft and heavy ground in France for Nicolas Clement. Placed in a maiden hurdle at Cork (2m, soft-to-heavy) for Gordon Elliott 12 months ago but disappointed in two subsequent starts. Debuting for a new yard.

Form: 2P-P

Rollerruler^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁷⁾| T: M A Barnes

200/1

Unraced home-bred son of Native Ruler out of a mare who was placed over hurdles. Tongue tie worn for racecourse debut.

Form:

Theatre Legend²²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: C Grant| CD

4/6

Dual bumper winner over 2m1f here last season. Well beaten in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree (2m1f, soft) last time out and has a top jockey booked for this hurdling and seasonal debut.

Form: 7/1170-

Torrid⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: M & D Easterby

4/1

Beaten 22L when finishing third in a 2m novice hurdle at Hexham (soft) on jumps debut last month. Likely to have improved for that experience and quicker ground forecast here in his favour.

Form: 3

Decima³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M & D Easterby

33/1

Winner over 1m3f at Carlisle (good-to-soft) in August and placed subsequently. Both Flat wins came with cut in the ground and others make more appeal on hurdling debut.

Form:

Ilaya^h1³³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond

8/1

Ran well to finish 12L second in a hurdle over an extended 2m at Pau (heavy) on debut last December. Market support would be notable on debut for this yard.

Form: 2-

Onelasthand^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Jonathan England| T: S England

125/1

Placed in a bumper on good ground at Uttoxeter in June. Well beaten in two hurdles since joining this yard and likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Form: 6-32088

Forecasts

Theatre Legend (4/6), Torrid (4/1), Ilaya (8/1), Abel Tasman (8/1), Manamite (9/1), Lord Of The Rock (12/1), Chosen Flame (28/1), Decima (33/1), Fisher Green (50/1), Capmonfor (50/1), Onelasthand (125/1), Rollerruler (200/1)

THEATRE LEGEND ran to a good level when winning a couple of bumpers here last season and he can get off the mark at the first attempt over hurdles. The selection looks capable of getting the better of Torrid who ran well when third on debut last time out while third place can go to Ilaya who placed on her sole start in France.
