16/1
Won his sole start over hurdles in France in April 2018. Has had wind surgery in the interim and yard do well with their French recruits; interesting contender in first-time tongue-tie, though does have to carry a penalty.

Won his bumper debut at Huntingdon before finishing runner-up to Glory And Fortune in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham. Well beaten in the Champion Bumper when last seen but no doubt he's better than that performance; interesting.

Galileo gelding who won a Flat race on handicap debut at Kempton in July when staying on well. Would need to be a better horse over hurdles to trouble these though.

11/10
Won a Listed bumper at Cheltenham but didn't build on that in two subsequent bumper starts. Had wind surgery in the off-season and failed to settle in a maiden hurdle at Cheltenham on reappearance when runner-up but may build on that here.

2/1
Arrives with two bumper wins at Haydock to his name. The form of the most recent of those in December hasn't particularly worked out though and others make more appeal on his hurdles debut.

Helmet filly who had one win in 16 starts on the Flat. Very tough ask on hurdles debut here given the form she's shown on the level to date.

Forecasts

Master Debonair (11/10), Mr Grey Sky (2/1), Glory And Fortune (7/2), Cascova (9/2), Tamaroc Du Mathan (16/1), Galileo Silver (20/1), Brockagh Cailin (100/1)

Verdict

An intriguing contest and hard to rule out most but there's a lot to like about what GLORY AND FORTUNE has done in his career to date and if he can learn how to settle a little better, he could be the one to beat. Paul Nicholls gives Tamaroc Du Mathan his UK debut and the market may be the best guide to his chance while Master Debonair could be hard to keep out of the first three with more experience than several of these.
  1. Glory And Fortune
  2. Tamaroc Du Mathan
  3. Master Debonair
