Adjali²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson

4/5

Has had three starts to date, all in France, third in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil latest and winner has gone on to prove most useful. Joined powerful connections and looks a leading player.

Form: 21-3

King D'Argent^t³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 127

15/8

Winner at Wetherby on debut for the yard and although not disgraced back at that venue in a Listed hurdle last time out, jumping wasn't great in the latter stages. Chances again here but needs to cut the errors out when the pressure's on.

Form: 13

Al Kherb⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: C R King| T: J & S Quinn

10/1

Had ability on the Flat for Roger Charlton, winning first two starts, not so good afterwards but has joined a yard that do well with these types when sent hurdling. Money for him would make him interesting.

Environment Ally^t1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Coltherd⁽⁵⁾| T: W Coltherd

200/1

Well beaten at big prices both starts so far and hard to think today is going to be any different.

Form: 65

Keynote⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Armson

200/1

Low grade on the Flat and has already had three tries over hurdles without showing a lot. Likely to find the company a bit too hot to handle.

Form: 9B4

Lifeboat⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

50/1

Regressive on the Flat for Charles Hills last year and found winning tough. Has joined a top yard but looks one more for handicaps later down the line.

Form:

Seaborough⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

11/1

Had ability on the Flat (at 8-10f) and came good at Nottingham in June. Won't want a stamina test but made a perfectly good start to hurdling career when third to King D'Argent at Wetherby, and should improve.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Adjali (4/5), King D'Argent (15/8), Al Kherb (10/1), Seaborough (11/1), Lifeboat (50/1), Keynote (200/1), Environment Ally (200/1)

King D'Argent may well confirm Wetherby form with Seaborough despite having to carry a penalty, especially if he can tidy his hurdling technique up a bit, but the pair might find ADJALI too good for them. The owners love these French horses and have had much success with them over the past few years, and their latest recruit might be a cut above these. Al Kherb comes from a yard that often introduce a useful juvenile hurdler around this time of year and he is worth a look in the market.
