15/8
Good 2L second at Chepstow (2m, good) in a novice hurdle in October and running well when falling two out in a Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham (good) the following month. One for the shortlist under a penalty.

2/1
Placed three times from six starts but well held in a handicap over 2m3f at Haydock (good) a month ago. Changed yards since and this looks a weaker contest.
Decent 15L fourth on hurdles debut at Chepstow (2m, good-to-soft) last month. Fair seventh in a big field subsequently and interesting to see how he fares.

16/1
Placed in both bumper starts including over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (good-to-soft) earlier this month. More needed on hurdling debut.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: L Heard| T: H D Daly
16/1
Good second in a 2m maiden event at Ludlow (good) on debut over hurdles a month ago. Probably needs to improve on that if he is to figure in this event.
6
Horse silk
Klare Castle29
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds
9/2
Placed in a couple of bumpers and put an unseat on hurdling debut behind him when fourth at Lingfield (2m, good-to-soft) on debut for this yard last month. Worth a check in the market.
7
Horse silk
Legal Eyes39
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: B Pauling
7/1
Placed on all three starts so far including when 14L third in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time out. Likely to have improved for the experience.
8
Horse silk
33/1
Dual point-to-point winner last season but finished well held in a chase at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) on return to Rules racing recently. Others hold stronger claims.
9
Horse silk
100/1
Placed in a point-to-point in March but finished well held in a bumper at Hereford (2m, soft) on debut for this yard last month. More needed switched to hurdles.

Forecasts

Deyrann de Carjac (15/8), Admiral Barratry (2/1), Klare Castle (9/2), Legal Eyes (7/1), Daario Naharis (16/1), Cilaos Glace (16/1), Finalshot (16/1), Mistercobar (33/1), Paint The Dream (100/1)

Verdict

DEYRANN DE CARJAC can register a second hurdling success on his return to novice company in this competitive looking affair. The selection was running well when coming down in a valuable handicap last time and he can get the better of Admiral Barratry who is another returning from handicaps. Klare Castle ran well on his debut for this stable and he can finish third.
  1. Deyrann de Carjac
  2. Admiral Barratry
  3. Klare Castle
