Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| D

16/1

Broke his maiden over hurdles when winning over 2m at Plumpton (good-to-firm) last time out. Previously fourth on the Flat at Goodwood (1m3f, good) and is interesting despite carrying a penalty.

Form: 61

Maria Magdalena¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-3| J: C Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 115| D

10/3

Dual hurdles winner most recently by a neck at Worcester (2m, good) in August. Victorious on the Flat subsequently and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: Nick Williams

10/1

Beaten 27L when seventh in a 2m hurdle at Compiegne (very soft) on debut in April. Top jockey in the saddle and is of interest on his return from a break.

Form: 7-

Highway To Success¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: J & S Best

40/1

Held behind both Maria Magdalena and Limelighter in two hurdles starts so far and is likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Form: 67

66/1

Six race maiden on the Flat including when beaten 27L at Epsom (1m4f, good-to-firm) in July. Others make more appeal on hurdles debut.

Night Closure^p1,h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Alex Chadwick⁽⁷⁾| T: J Butler

150/1

Well beaten sixth in a 2m hurdle won by Limelighter at Plumpton (2m, good-to-firm) last time out. Cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Form: F6

Nordano⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King

9/1

Ran well to finish a neck second in a 2m handicap at Kempton on debut for this stable last month. Worth a check in the market switched to hurdles for the first time.

Form:

Novus Aditus^h1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

100/1

Raced prominently prior to weakening into 11th when beaten 47L on jumping and stable debut at Worcester (2m, good) in August. Wears a hood for the first time.

Form: 0

Paseo¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood

18/1

Well beaten seventh in a 1m2f novice race at Salisbury (good-to-firm) on racecourse debut in May. Probably best watched on hurdles and stable debut.

Form:

Prefontaine⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill

13/8

Won and placed on the Flat most recently when third in a 1m6f handicap at Haydock (good-to-firm) in July. Blinkers worn for the first time that day absent here and is one for the shortlist on hurdles debut.

Form:

Sephton⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King

25/1

Failed to place in six starts in the Flat including off a mark of 57 at Windsor (good-to-firm) last start. Yard do well in this sphere however and market support would be notable on hurdling debut.

Form:

Sleepdancer^p,t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: J Ryan

150/1

Struggle in six starts on the Flat most recently when beaten over 134L at Chelmsford last month. Tongue tie and cheekpieces return here but others hold stronger claims on first hurdling appearance.

Form:

Dandy Belle⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford

150/1

15 race maiden on the Flat and finished last of four over 6f at Brighton (good-to-firm) on her most recent start. Probably best watched on debut in this sphere.

Form:

Goelette⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

5/1

Placed in three bumpers in France including when third in a 1m4f Group 3 at Le Lion D'Angers (good) in July. Notable runner on stable and jumping debut.

Form: 3-23

Forecasts

Prefontaine (13/8), Maria Magdalena (10/3), Goelette (5/1), Nordano (9/1), Chocks Away (10/1), Limelighter (16/1), Paseo (18/1), Sephton (25/1), Magic Shuffle (25/1), Highway To Success (40/1), Moonlit Sea (66/1), Novus Aditus (100/1), Sleepdancer (150/1), Dandy Belle (150/1), Night Closure (150/1)

CHOCKS AWAY showed promise when making his hurdling debut in France in the spring and he can get off the mark at the second time of asking in the opening juvenile hurdle. Prefontaine showed plenty of ability on the Flat and he can take second on hurdling debut while third place can go to Maria Magdalena who is already a dual hurdles winner.
