Alburn^h²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Armson

500/1

Won once from many starts in points but offered nothing in a C&D novice chase on Rules debut.

Form: 23/355-P

Black Kalanisi¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: J Tuite| OR: 127| D

33/1

Bumper winner who has made good start over hurdles but was below form when last season and doesn't strike as an obvious chaser.

Form: 72112/5-

Boss Man Fred²⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 134| BF

10/3

Point winner who landed his first 3 starts over hurdles and can be forgiven a lesser run up in grade at Doncaster 8 months ago. Very interesting chasing debutant.

Form: 1/1114-

Emitom²⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Adrian Heskin| T: W Greatrex| OR: 155| D

5/6

Smart hurdler who readily landed the Rendlesham at Haydock last season before a good fourth in the Stayers' showpiece at Cheltenham 6 months ago. Leading claims having first go at chasing.

Form: 112/614-

Hurricane Harvey²⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 132

11/2

Placed in 3 bumpers and progressive over hurdles last term, signing off with an excellent third in a handicap at Kempton. Has a pointing background, so should take to the larger obstacles.

Form: 23/2113-

Monsieur Lecoq²²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Chester Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 149

7/1

Smart 2m hurdler who scored at Ffos Las and excellent second in Ascot handicap last term. Tailed off towards the end of the campaign but obviously appealing if he takes to this.

Form: 134275-

Quartz Du Rheu²⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 134

50/1

Useful hurdler for WIllie Mullins, consistent on the whole last season. Likely that new stable will have a be a longer term target for him as a chaser, though.

T: Ian Williams J: R T Dunne

Forecasts

Emitom (5/6), Boss Man Fred (10/3), Hurricane Harvey (11/2), Seven De Baune (6/1), Monsieur Lecoq (7/1), Black Kalanisi (33/1), Quartz Du Rheu (50/1), Alburn (500/1)

EMITOM is the best of these over hurdles and there's no obvious reason why he won't take to chasing, so he's an obvious choice in what looks a potentially hot beginners' chase. Monsieur Lecoq is also a player if taking to it, while ex-pointers Boss Man Fred and Hurricane Harvey likely have a bright future in this sphere.
