Across The Channel³¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

13/2

Expensive purchase (fetched £150,000) and winner of his sole completed start between the flags. Very much one to consider on this Rules debut, particularly if he's strong in the betting.

Form: F1-

Cockney Beau²⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky HammondWS

80/1

Placed on 3 of his 4 starts in bumpers but significant improvement will be needed if he's to play a leading role on hurdles debut. Has undergone wind surgery.

Form: 2335-

Fan Club Aulmes²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| BF

14/1

Failed to justify favouritism on debut in 16.8f Newton Abbot bumper last month. However, that effort was not devoid of promise and may do better now switched to hurdles.

Form: 5

French Paradoxe^h1²⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: O Signy

66/1

Beaten a long way on Rules debut in a bumper at Huntingdon in January and best watched starting out over hurdles here. Hood enlisted.

Form: F0-

Inca Rose²¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

11/2

Promising start to her career when runner-up in a 14-runner Huntingdon bumper (15.8f, soft) in March. Bred to make her mark over jumps and she's not without each-way hope on this hurdles debut.

Form: 2-

Kenyan Cowboy²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: N B King| D

125/1

Successful sole start between the flags but last month's Rules debut in a Plumpton bumper was uninspiring.

Form: 1-7

Kilbrook^t1³⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

85/40

Shaped well when third on Rules debut in a Chepstow bumper last October. Promising effort switched to hurdles at Newbury (16.3f) next time and this stiffer test should help. Tongue strap applied.

Form: 2/33-

Martinhal²²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

4/1

€30,000 buy who fell on sole start in Irish points. However, made a winning start under Rules at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) in March and needs considering now switched to hurdles.

Form: F1-

South Terrace²¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

33/1

First past the post in a maiden point last year and lost little caste in defeat when runner-up on Rules debut at Wexford (16f, heavy) in March. Needs to raise his game.

Form: P12-

Valleres²³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: A King

3/1

Half-brother to smart bumper winner/smart hurdler Montbazon. Won Irish point on debut last year and promising start under Rules when third in a Kempton bumper in February. Merits respect.

Form: 13-

Alright Marlene^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Lucy Alexander| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward

125/1

Unconvincing record in points and beaten a long way on recent Rules debut in a Sedgefield novice hurdle.

Form: P3/343-3

Forecasts

Kilbrook (85/40), Valleres (3/1), Martinhal (4/1), Inca Rose (11/2), Across The Channel (13/2), Fan Club Aulmes (14/1), South Terrace (33/1), French Paradoxe (66/1), Cockney Beau (80/1), Alright Marlene (125/1), Kenyan Cowboy (125/1)

The one who appeals most is VALLERES, who shaped with plenty of promise in a Kempton bumper on Rules debut in February and improvement is anticipated now switched to hurdles and faced with a stiffer test. Kilbrook was third in a decent Newbury novice on his introduction to hurdles last November and is next on the list ahead of point winner Across The Channel, Fan Club Aulmes and Martinhal.
