40/1
Won a 1m2f AW seller in September. Has shown a modicum of ability in his two runs over hurdles though needs a big step forward to figure here.

12/1
Placed on the Flat at up to 1m2f for Richard Fahey and has an official mark of 72 in that sphere. Acts on soft ground so conditions not a problem if taking to this game.

4/5
Ran well for a long way when fifth of nine on only start in France in September. That form isn't easy to assess and now moved to top English yard so interesting to see what the market makes of his chances

5/1
69 rated maiden on the Flat but showed ability at up to 1m4f when with Brian Meehan. Sold for 15,000 gns and now goes hurdling for a yard in decent nick.

9/2
Beat a subsequent winner on good ground at Catterick last month but then found the heavy ground too much for her in a Listed contest at Aintree since. That run can be forgiven but has to prove herself on soft.
Won a 1m Handicap on soft ground in May. Stiff task on hurdling debut at Newcastle earlier in the month and in calmer waters now, so we should learn more about her.
Tailed off when 50/1 in a Bumper on racecourse debut last month and will have to take a big step forward to figure here.

Forecasts

Flegmatik (4/5), Travel Lightly (9/2), Phoenician Star (5/1), Last Enchantment (9/1), Chingachgook (12/1), Barnay (40/1), Vereina (100/1)

Verdict

Not an easy race to get a handle on and a chance is taking on Dan Skelton working the oracle on FLEGMATIK on his first run since coming from France. There are some likely improvers on opposition and Last Enchantment and Travel Lightly may follow the selection home.
  1. Flegmatik
  2. Last Enchantment
  3. Travel Lightly
