Off time: 12:40 | Winning time: 4m 11.3s

Abwab²²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M & D Easterby

33/1

Well beaten in three starts in maiden/novice company on the Flat including when fifth of seven over 1m at Southwell earlier this month. Probably best watched on hurdling debut.

Form:

Artistic Language^p¹²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland

7/2

Showed decent placed form on the Flat including when 2L second of three at Newmarket (1m4f, good-to-firm) in July. Changed stables since and is one to note on hurdles debut for a yard with a 23% strike-rate (3/13) of late.

Form:

Boreas Duke¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M & D Easterby

7/1

Ran well to finish a close third in a 2m event at Hexham (good-to-soft) when making his hurdles debut at the start of June. Had three subsequent multiple winners behind him that day and holds strong claims on return from a break.

Form: 3

Bullion Boss²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: R D Day| T: N G Richards| BF

10/1

Placed four times on the Flat but proved a disappointment when 24L sixth at Musselburgh (good-to-soft) when sent off favourite for hurdling debut earlier this month. Likely capable of better.

Form: 6

George Hastings^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: Miss J E Foster

200/1

Struggled in two starts over hurdles on soft ground at Sedgefield to date including in a first time tongue tie (retained) just under three weeks ago.

Form: 67

Goobinator^h²²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

4/1

Built on two promising Flat efforts when winning by 6L in a three runner 1m4f maiden at Southwell last time out. Hood worn for the first time that day is retained for this hurdles debut.

Form:

Major Snugfit^p1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Cook| T: M & D Easterby

33/1

Successful at two and best effort since came when a close fourth at Beverley (1m2f, soft) in first time hood (cheekpieces worn for the first time here) in September. Switched to hurdles having disappointed on the AW last month.

Form: 8

My Strong Man⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: A Nicol| T: P A Kirby

16/1

Returning from nearly a year off the track when 22L fourth on hurdling debut over C&D on good-to-soft ground last month. More needed if he's to take this event.

Form: 4

Gaot

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Aidan Coleman| T: H Fry

6/4

Victorious by 5L over an extended 1m3f in a bumper at Corlay (heavy) in June. Third and fourth have both won in that sphere since and she is a leading contender on hurdling and stable debut for top connections.

Form:

Peripherique²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: J M Quinlan| T: J M P Eustace

25/1

Held off a mark of 55 in a 1m6f AW handicap at Chelmsford in July and is probably best watched at present having been beaten 36L when fifth at Fakenham (2m, good) on hurdles debut last month.

Form: 5

You Little Beauty¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A Duffield

100/1

15 race maiden on the Flat and finished a well held sixth in a classified event over 1m at Southwell earlier this month when returning from a break. Others make more appeal on hurdles debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Gaot (6/4), Artistic Language (7/2), Goobinator (4/1), Boreas Duke (7/1), Bullion Boss (10/1), My Strong Man (16/1), Peripherique (25/1), Major Snugfit (33/1), Abwab (33/1), You Little Beauty (100/1), George Hastings (200/1)

GAOT showed a liking for ground with give in it when winning her sole bumper start in France and she can get off the mark at the first time of asking over hurdles in the opening race on the card. Boreas Duke has been absent since a promising placed effort on his hurdles debut in June and he can finish one place better by claiming second spot in this event while third can go the way of Artistic Language who represens a stable who have been in decent form of late.
