Fair chaser on his day and ran wel for a long way over hurdles following wind surgery on penultimate start at Worcester. Disappointed over fences here last time but has every chance down in grade.

Form: 135-545

5/2

Interesting cotnender whose only hurdles outing came in much better race at Newbury in January where only weakened from last. Two since on the Flat and is completely unexposed in this sphere. Represents shrewd connections.

Blinkers applied for the first time having shown nothing in four previous outings under Rules. Fell at first in Southwell selling hurdle last time and appears to have a mountain to climb.

Form: PPUP0-F

Never going well in maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot on racecourse debut in June and was pulled up when tailed off before 2 out. Very hard to fancy even allowing for the drop in class.

Always rear and behind when pulled up 3 out on racecourse bow at Worcester last four weeks ago and impossible to recommend on that evidence. Surely needs more time.

Form: P

Lope De Loop^h,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: T J Phelan| T: A Sadik

66/1

Pulled up all three starts over hurdles and remains a maiden after a total of 15 starts under both codes. First time in a seller but would be a very big shock if she scores.

Form: PP-P

Forecasts

Capitoul (2/9), Doubly Clever (11/8), Clearance (5/2), Goodgollymissjolly (28/1), Du Chatelier (33/1), Annieareyouok (66/1), Lope De Loop (66/1)

Most of these are of little account but CLEARANCE is interesting having shown ability on his hurdles debut at Newbury in a much better race. He's won twice on the Flat since and can prove too good for his rivals here. Capitoul could be the main danger having been a fair chaser in his time. He has form over hurdles and is respected. Doubly Clever won a Uttoxeter seller two starts back then finished second here over a quarter mile further last time. He has a chance, but his cause isn't helped by the concession of 6lb to the aforementioned pair.
