15/8

Won a 1m7f French race at Maisons-Laffitte on soft ground towards the end of last season. Disappointing hurdles bow (favourite) at Bangor in June and well held one Flat run since a wind op. Should be better in time.

Form: 5

Marzano^p1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

66/1

Didn't impress with jumping in last month's hurdling introduction at Newton Abbot. Plenty to work on in new headgear here.

Form: FP-8457

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: Miss N L-Beavis| OR: 110

8/1

Has the ability to get involved but was badly out of sorts for previous trainer. Need change of scenery to work oracle, with positive jockey booking a plus.

Form: 32/7-670

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: L Treadwell| T: A Ralph| OR: 105

14/1

Badly needs to relax in his races, having shown clear tendency to pull his way through. Ability lurks if consenting to showcase it.

Form: 46U6-74

10/1

Point-to-point winner, showed better form when tackling this trip last time at Ffos Las (second). Enters calculations as a result.

Form: 1/67-2

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

11/10

Found only short-price favourite too strong on hurdles bow at Southwell in June over 2m4f. Well clear of the rest and leading claims of going one better.

Form: 17-2

Baasha^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann

33/1

Ordinary Flat performer, midfield at Uttoxeter on hurdles bow lasts month (2m, good) and may need more time to adapt in this sphere.

Form: 6

Happy B

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: David England| T: S Drinkwater

50/1

Lord Shanakill gelding with some winner in pedigree. Market should offer some guidance on first trip to the racecourse.

Lzaaz⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

40/1

Hasn't progressed on the Flat, makes hurdles bow here and likely has it all to do against stablemate Whenhellbrookeloose, as well as the rest.

Noel's Boy^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

25/1

Couple of solid efforts in bumpers at Newton Abbot so far, goes jumping for the first time now and possible improver.

Forecasts

Whenhellbrokeloose (11/10), Dounyapour (15/8), Megabucks (8/1), Norwegian Woods (10/1), Mix Of Clover (14/1), Noel's Boy (25/1), Baasha (33/1), Lzaaz (40/1), Happy B (50/1), Marzano (66/1), Henchard (100/1)

Alan King runs a pair here and WHENHELLBROKELOOSE looks the pick on his Southwell second in June behind a promising rivals (pair were clear). He should be able to go one better now, with improvement likely. Ffos Las runner-up Norwegian Woods can be a danger, with Mix Of Clover sure to do better if he can settle early on.
