Barnay²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Ellam

100/1

An average handicapper at his best on the level and only managed a solitary win on the AW from 15 starts on the Flat (just five of those were on turf). Was never a factor on his hurdles debut and is hard to recommend here.

Form: 6

Liva^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: D McCain Jnr| BF

11/10

Showed ability on the Flat (won over 7f at Ffos Las and latterly over 1m2f Epsom). Ran a solid race on hurdles debut at Catterick and likely to have learned a good deal (the winner was far from disgraced at Aintree on Saturday). Big chance here.

Form: 2

Marble Bar^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: I Jardine

25/1

0-10 on the Flat and was regressive during his time with Henry Candy; never a factor behind Liva at Catterick on hurdles debut, so plenty to prove at present. Best watched.

Form: 7

Paddy The Chef¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams

13/8

Won over 1m2f on the Flat for his current yard and is sure to have been primed for his switch to the winter game. One to monitor in the betting but does need to up his game after losing his way on the level.

Form:

Can Can Sixty Two¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: S Mulqueen| T: R M Smith

22/1

Ran too keenly on hurdles debut at Ayr last month and struggled to get home as a result. Likes plenty of give underfoot and her chances would increase if the heavens open. Worth a betting check if conditions turn in her favour.

Form: 6

Sarvi³³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: J S Goldie

6/1

Won a fillies only handicap over 1m2f at Ayr in September and being kept busy now she switches in codes. Likely she's better than she showed on her hurdles bow over C&D last month; another worth noting in the betting.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Liva (11/10), Paddy The Chef (13/8), Sarvi (6/1), Can Can Sixty Two (22/1), Marble Bar (25/1), Don't Think So (66/1), Barnay (100/1)

Everything points towards a big run from LIVA, whose debut run over hurdles looks the most solid piece of evidence on offer. That form was boosted a tad by the winner holding his own in defeat in a much better race than this at Aintree at the weekend. Can Can Sixty Two and Sarvi are others with scope and can form the main body of the opposition.
