Off time: 14:25 | Winning time: 3m 48.4s

Ferrobin^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 132| D

11/8

Victorious over 2m1f on good ground in a novice hurdle at Aintree in the spring. GOod second back from a break at Warwick (2m, good-to-soft) last time out and looks likely to run well once more.

Form: 12F-212

Onthefrontfoot¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 126| D

7/4

Bumper and point-to-point winner who is unbeaten in two starts over hurdles most recently when taking a 2m1f event at Cartmel (good) by 12L in May. Hails from a leading stable on his return from a break.

Form: F119-11

Amangiri¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater

100/1

Successful three times on the Flat but has failed to figure in two hurdles starts since joining this yard. Others make more appeal in this contest.

Form: 50

Ashington³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Cook| T: J & S Quinn| BF

7/2

Dual Flat winner ran well to finish 5L second in a 2m1f novice event at Sedgefield (good) on hurdling debut in August. One to note with further improvement likely.

Form: 2

Ballard Down^v⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe

20/1

Victorious over 1m on the Flat for this yard at Windsor (good-to-firm) in June and ran well when runner-up in a small field event at Southwell (good) over an extended 1m7f on hurdles debut the following month. Needs to improve to take this however.

Form: 2

Captain Marmalade⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: J C Fox

100/1

Twice a winner on the Flat but rated just 45 in that sphere at present and others look to hold stronger claims on jumps debut.

Form: P7-

Down To The Sea^t⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: M Bradstock

50/1

Well beaten 29L fifth in a bumper over an extended 2m at Market Rasen (good) on debut in August. Tongue tie worn that day is retained on hurdles debut.

Form: 5

Finvarra^h²⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams

100/1

12 race maiden on the Flat finished a close fifth over 7f at Dundalk on final start for previous yard. Probably best watched on debut over hurdles.

Form:

Follow Your Fire⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

33/1

Placed in a couple of point-to-points in Ireland and was beaten 14L when fourth in a 2m3f bumper at Cork (yielding) in August. Interesting to see how he fares on debut for this stable.

Form: 6-3354

Jawshan⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams

33/1

13 race maiden on the Flat finished well beaten over 1m4f at Epsom (good-to-firm) in August. Others make more appeal switched to hurdles for the first time.

Form:

Pinnacle Peak²¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: L P Aspell| T: M Keighley

40/1

Not beaten far when seventh in a bumper over an extended 2m on good ground here when debuting in March. Worth a check in the market on hurdling debut.

Form: 7-

Lady Of Authority⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips

66/1

Dual Flat winner most recently over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in May. Well beaten at Lingfield (good-to-firm) last time out however and others make more appeal on jumping debut.

Form:

Pania³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland

100/1

Well beaten on all three starts so far including over hurdles the last twice. Probably best watched having been beaten 84L at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last time out.

Form: 4-40

Peltwell¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland

66/1

Left hurdles debut effort well behind when finishing 21L third in a 2m novice contest at Ffos Las (good) in May. More needed on return from a break.

Form: 93-3

Forecasts

Ferrobin (11/8), Onthefrontfoot (7/4), Ashington (7/2), Ballard Down (20/1), Jawshan (33/1), Follow Your Fire (33/1), Pinnacle Peak (40/1), Down To The Sea (50/1), Peltwell (66/1), Lady Of Authority (66/1), Pania (100/1), Captain Marmalade (100/1), Amangiri (100/1), Finvarra (100/1)

FERROBIN performed well when runner-up on his most recent start and he can defy a penalty to register a second hurdling victory in the opening race on the card. Onthefrontfoot, the only other previous hurdling winner in the field can finish runner-up while third place can go to Ashington who ran well when placed on his jumps debut last time out.
