Has performed well over hurdles in France without success, including when he was second six at Toulouse (2m1½f) last time. Set for his British debut here on his opening run for this leading yard. Big player.
Yeats gelding whose dam was a maiden hurdler who stayed 2m5f but is a sister to Fiendish Flame who was useful over hurdles. Market likely to speak volumes about his chances on his debut start.
Has really struggled since going over hurdles. He was a long way off the winner on his latest effort at Newton Abbot when he was fifth of seven runners. Needs to take a huge stride forward to be in the mix.
Smadoun gelding who cost €17,000 as a three-year-old. Is a brother to Dounikos who is useful over hurdles and fences. Likely to perform much better with experience on his side so best to watch for now.
Has shown some encouraging form in his three bumper attempts, including when he was fourth of 10 in a Listed contest at Cheltenham (1m6f). His breeding suggests he could improve over hurdles. One for the shortlist.
Was a long way down the field on his debut under Rules last time at Fontwell (2m3f) as he was outpaced when the leaders picked up the pace after the sixth hurdle. Needs to improve on his second outing.
Finished second of six on his debut at Fontwell (2m1½f) in a bumper where he was only beaten by ½L. Set for his hurdles debut now. Worth consideration as he may be able to build upon his opening career start.
Came home sixth of 14 on his opening start under Rules at Fontwell (2m3f) in a maiden hurdle contest after going off at 33/1. Dropping down in trip here now. Best to watch on his second appearance.
Useful operator on the Flat but has been a long way down the field on his two outings over hurdles to date, with his latest attempt coming over this C&D where he was 12th of 13. Difficult to fancy on the evidence of those two starts.
His only appearance on the track so far came at Stratford where he was sixth of nine over the extended 2m trip after weakening just before the home turn. Not one that that makes a great amount of appeal.
A two-time winner on the Flat in France. Has fared modestly well in his two hurdles races. He was second of 14 at Auteuil (2m2f), while last time he came home fourth of seven in a Listed race at Kempton (2m). Leading contender.
Made his debut over hurdles over this C&D last month where he was sixth of 12 runners, 18L behind the winner after going off at 150/1. Will need to improve in order to be competitive this time around.
Has yet to shine in her two appearances over hurdles, including last time out at Wincanton (1m7½f) where she was seventh of nine. May improve from her seasonal reappearance, however, others are preferred.
Forecasts
Touchthesoul (11/8), Fuseau (3/1), Calva D'Auge (10/3), No No Maestro (12/1), Endless Flight (20/1), Forget You Not (25/1), One For Dunstan (40/1), Free (40/1), That's A Shame (40/1), Uae Soldier (50/1), Moromac (80/1), Dapa Lad (100/1), Red Charmer (100/1)
TOUCHTHESOUL made his British debut over hurdles in a Listed contest where he did not perform badly in fourth place. This assignment will be much easier so he has a great chance of breaking his maiden. Calva D'Auge commands a lot of respect here on his British debut for this leading yard, especially after two positive runs over hurdles in France, while Fuseau is likely to improve now he is over hurdles so take him to fill the placings.
- Touchthesoul
- Calva D'Auge
