Off time: 19:15 | Winning time: 3m 55.30s

Bathiva⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: David Dennis

11/8

Highly promising short-head second over an extended 2m on hurdling debut at Stratford (good) early last month. Changed hands for £46,000 at the sales subsequently and is likely to play a leading role on stable debut.

Form: 5/534-2

Derek Duval^t²¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: J & S Best

20/1

Five time Flat winner and beaten a neck over 1m2f in a first time visor (absent here) at Chelmsford in January. Market support would be notable on hurdling and stable debut.

Form:

King Nidge¹⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: T R Gretton

100/1

Placed three times from 13 point-to-point starts but pulled up on two most recent starts and others make more appeal on debut for this yard and under Rules.

Form: 65/33PP-

London Glory¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Joshua Moore| T: J & S Best

66/1

Twice successful on the Flat but has struggled in two starts over jumps since joining this stable and is probably best watched at present.

Form: P/49

Rising Sunshine²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: J M Bradley

100/1

Won and placed on the Flat but failed to figure when 46L fourth of five on hurdles debut at Bangor (good) over around this distance earlier this month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 4

Throckley^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Price⁽⁷⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 96

16/1

Best effort in three starts since joining this yard came when 14L second in a selling hurdle over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (good) last month. Struggled at Market Rasen (good) subsequently however.

Form: P-44P28

Cotswold Prince²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: R Johnson| T: M Keighley| OR: 114| BF

11/4

Returning from a break when finishing 15L third in a maiden hurdle over an extended 2m at Market Rasen (good) earlier this month. Also placed at Doncaster from three hurdles starts and is iof interest once more.

Form: 6927-3

Jaillissant^t1⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland

33/1

Tailed off on racecourse debut in a maiden hurdle at Perth (2m4f, good) early last month. Hood worn that day is dispensed with and tongue tie tried for the first time on this occasion.

Form: 9

Jetstream^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys

18/1

Flat winner over 1m2f on the AW early last year. Held in three starts for this stable and others hold stronger claims on jumping debut.

Form: U8-

Kabrit²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph| OR: 105

9/2

Couple of good efforts from three hurdles starts so far most recently when 11L third of five over an extended 2m at Bangor (good) last time out. Interesting runner in this event.

Form: 453

Tinsmith³⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

11/1

Signs of ability in four starts last year. Gelded and changed yards since finishing 12th at Kempton (1m4f) last October and market support would be notable on hurdles and stable debut.

Form:

Unsuspected Girl^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: J M BradleyWS

80/1

Multiple Flat winner but has struggled in two starts since switched to hurdles. Had wind surgery since finished last of seven in selling company at Stratford (good) last month.

Form: 57

Youvebrokenmydream^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner

80/1

Maiden after five starts and probably best watched having been beaten 50L when eighth over an extended 2m2f at Newton Abbot (good-to-soft) in a novice hurdle two weeks ago.

Form: 5909-8

Forecasts

Bathiva (11/8), Cotswold Prince (11/4), Kabrit (9/2), Tinsmith (11/1), Throckley (16/1), Jetstream (18/1), Derek Duval (20/1), Jaillissant (33/1), London Glory (66/1), Unsuspected Girl (80/1), Youvebrokenmydream (80/1), King Nidge (100/1), Rising Sunshine (100/1)

BATHIVA showed good form when placed on hurdling debut and he can go one better by making a winning stable debut in this maiden contest. Second place can go the way of Cotswold Prince who is another to have placed on his most recent start while Kabrit who finished third last time out can fill the same position in this event.
