4/5
Bumper winner who was handed a soft lead and got off the mark over hurdles at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) in March, despite whipping round at the start. Should be competitive under a penalty.

Hasn't looked quite the force of old on the Flat this summer (one-time useful stayer) and was well held on belated hurdling debut at Uttoxeter 23 days ago.

Modest on Flat, stays 1½m, let down by attitude when nose second last time. Most likely best watched on hurdle debut.

Likeable type on the Flat (fairly useful up to 2½m), so well worth a market check now going hurdling after 15 months off.

Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers this summer, going in snatches at Bangor last time. Is Flat bred but should have a future over hurdles.

7/2
Related to bumper winners and belied big odds to finish second at Worcester on debut. Undone by a total lack of pace at Kempton next time, so remains one to be positive about now hurdling.

Fair on Flat (stays 1¼m). Ran below that level on Kempton hurdle debut in November but did at least show an aptitude for the job. May improve.

Dual 10f winner on Flat for Mick Channon but was beaten long way on hurdle/yard debut at end of last year.

Forecasts

Fearless (4/5), Shinobi (3/1), Lord Baddesley (7/2), Imphal (4/1), Le Boulevardier (13/2), Peace Prevails (20/1), Das Kapital (22/1), Sing Out Loud (28/1), Busy Street (40/1), Crystal Tiara (125/1), Ryveater (400/1)

Verdict

LORD BADDESLEY showed plenty in a brace of bumpers last season, and with his debut form looking particularly strong, he's fancied to make the perfect start over hurdles. Shinobi was rather impressive at Uttoxeter for all that the race fell apart, so he's expected to be competitive under a penalty, as is Market Rasen winner Fearless, who returns from 6 months off.
