8/1
Maiden point-to-pointer, beaten in excess of 30L both runs since going into maiden hurdles, remains opposable for now.

20/1
Lawman filly, 1-30 on the Flat having failed to add to debut success at Windsor in 2015. Goes jumping for the first time and market should be a fair guide to chances.

Age: 4|  Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR:  110
6/4
Not disgraced in soft-ground Southwell handicap hurdle in March when last spotted. Respected back in maiden company off the break and would have place claims at least.

4/6
Has finished second in 4-5 starts in maiden/novice hurdles to this point, latest when unable to reel in front-running odds-on jolly upped to this trip at Stratford. Repeat effort may suffice to get off the mark.

Age: 4|  Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke
25/1
Remote fourth of eight in last month's hurdling bow at Stratford over shorter trip. Plenty to work on if seeking to improve on that placing now.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-7| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard
20/1
Tailed off six days ago over C&D on hurdling introduction, wasn't totally unfancied in the betting that day and should at least be sharper now. Something to work on.

40/1
Tailed off here over further on debut in June and didn't achieve a lot with 40L third of six in a selling handicap hurdle at Stratford this month. Plenty more required.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-7| J: M G Nolan| T: C J Gray
33/1
Modest mare in bumpers and well held on hurdles bow when beaten 25L in a Worcester maiden (2m, good to soft) last month. Big step forward is demanded.

Forecasts

Emerald Rocket (4/6), Caswell Bay (6/4), Irska (8/1), Cuddle Up (20/1), Top Beak (20/1), Onboard (25/1), Vinnie's Icon (33/1), Goodgollymissjolly (40/1)

Verdict

EMERALD ROCKET has developed a fondness for finishing second over timber already and has been costly to back, but he did little wrong last time in trying to catch an all-the-way winner and should be able to open his account with a repeat effort. Caswell Bay wasn't disgraced in a Southwell handicap when last spotted in the spring and tops the opposition on form while jumping debutante Top Beak is worth a betting check in a weak contest.
