Unplaced in six point-to-points and only completed once in three hurdle races when tailed off at Carlisle penultimately. Handicaps may offer some solace but chances here slim.
80-rated five-time Flat scorer over 1m2f-1m3f makes very belated hurdling debut here. Form late in the Flat season suggested he may be regressing and is unlikely to make his presence felt here.
Showed some potential over hurdles early last year including a C&D third and after a busy Flat campaign where he won twice he ran an even better race latest when a close third at Wetherby. That form rock solid here and has leading claims.
Lowly 55-rated dual Flat scorer was tailed off and beaten 50L into eighth of 10 on hurdles debut at Newcastle. Represents in form team but that one of few positives.
Placed bumper performer but never better than fourth over hurdles and beaten 25L here penultimately before falling at the first last time out. Stable's great recent record unlikely to improve here.
Twice second in three bumpers including once here but didn't show comparable form first time over hurdles as he pulled up before two out at Wetherby. May be better for that experience but best watched here.
73-rated five time Flat winner best suited by 1m and arrives in good form after two recent wins. Has a top rider on for first start over hurdles so interesting to see how he goes on and one of the more appealing newcomers.
70-rated dual Flat scorer finished third on hurdles debut before going one better latest with an excellent second despite being carried wide by the eventual winner over C&D. That form competitive again here so bold bid expected.
Barely sighted in three remote bumper efforts and completely tailed off and beaten over 100L on hurdles debut at Kelso. Can't suggest with any confidence.
Just minor ability showed in two bumpers beaten 43L and 28L respectively and nearer last than first in each. Hurdles debut here but can only be watched.
65-rated dual Flat winner for Kevin Ryan made a promising start when finishing fourth at Ayr where she seemed to tire late on. That form close to the required level here and trainer won with all six previous runners here this season.
Lightly raced 1m Flat winner rated 77 on the level. Always in rear in hurdles debut and eventually fell two out. Has enough ability to make a hurdler and tried in headgear now.
Forecasts
Torrid (5/2), Ingleby Hollow (11/4), Tagur (3/1), Indian Chief (5/1), Savannah Moon (6/1), Mutawaasel (12/1), Sixties Star (25/1), King's Coinage (50/1), The Navigator (50/1), Jo Cashflow (50/1), Barney's Caulker (66/1), Bell Ofthe Bongate (150/1)
SAVANNAH MOON probably has a few pounds to find with the other leading players in this contest but having only run once over hurdles there is every chance she can do that and Gordon Elliott's record here is such that she has to be the pick. Ingleby Hollow's third at Wetherby and Torrid's C&D second are both compelling pieces of form and they both have strong claims also so are viable alternatives.
- Savannah Moon
- Ingleby Hollow
- Torrid
