Bannister^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

7/1

Fair maiden on the Flat but yet to reach that form in two runs over hurdles, fading fifth of 8 in juvenile hurdle (11/4) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 18 days ago. More needed here.

Form: 25

Billy The Squid^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107

13/2

Has improved with each run over hurdles, though hung left under pressure when second of 9 in juvenile hurdle (9/1) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. In the mix nonetheless.

Form: 742

Fraterculus^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 104

5/1

Fair 10f maiden on the Flat in Ireland. Some promise two hurdling starts, cheekpieces on when third of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Solid claims.

Form: 43

Global Agreement^b1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 110| BF

6/1

Modest 10f maiden on Flat. Failed to build on hurdling debut second at Cartmel when fourth of 9 in juvenile hurdle (11/10) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Blinkers on now.

Form: 24

I'm Easy²²

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

66/1

Little promise in three runs on Flat. Goes hurdling now and needs to show lot more.

Form:

Ranco^p1,t1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

10/3

Fair ex-French 10f winner on the Flat, latest succes at Vichy in July. Makes his hurdling bow now for in-form yard so not without interest, especially if market speaks in his favour.

Form:

The Trendy Man¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: L Heard| T: D O'Meara

66/1

Modest 10f Flat winner this summer and in good hands so warrants respect on his first run over hurdles. Worth a market check.

Form:

Thunder King²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy

5/2

In winning form over middle-distances on the Flat this summer (fair form) and now goes hurdling for his in-form handler. Interesting contender.

Form:

Jean Mary⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: Stef Keniry

200/1

Yet to show any form of note in three runs on the Flat and two over hurdles. Easily opposed.

Form: P6

Non-Runners

Navajo Eagle¹²

Weight: 10-12| Age: 3

Forecasts

Thunder King (5/2), Ranco (10/3), Fraterculus (5/1), Global Agreement (6/1), Billy The Squid (13/2), Bannister (7/1), I'm Easy (66/1), The Trendy Man (66/1), Navajo Eagle (66/1), Jean Mary (200/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar too high so it could be worth siding with THUNDER KING, a fair recent winner on the level, to make a winning start over hurdles and continue the fine form of Amy Murphy. Ex-French winner Ranco is another newcomer who is well worth considering on his debut for David Pipe, while Fraterculus and Billy The Squid appeal as the pick of those with form.
