Off time: 14:00 | Winning time: 3m 57.06s

Will Victory⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: C J Mann

9/1

Fair performer on the Flat who has clearly taken well to hurdling, winning both her starts in France this summer. More to do conceding weight all round on UK/stable debut but merits respect.

Form: 11

Brown Bullet^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: W Featherstone| T: Miss Z C Davison

66/1

Winning pointer who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests in a Fontwell bumper on her Rules debut with the hood applied. Switches to hurdles now and shouldn't be totally discounted.

Form: 671-3

Equilibrium^h1³¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 110

50/1

Just modest form over hurdles for W. P. Mullins in Ireland, so improvement needed on first run for new stable fitted with a hood.

Form: 48/376-

Gran Luna²⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| CD

4/11

A good sort physically who needed only to be pushed out to making a winning debut in a C&D bumper 8 months ago. Interesting recruit to hurdling.

Form: 1-

Luck Of Clover⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: D McCain Jnr

14/1

Fair maiden on Flat, probably stays 2m, good second last time. Sold from Andrew Balding for 13,000 gns in August. In good hands ahead of hurdle debut, so worth a look.

Form:

Outlaw Jesse James^h1,t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

50/1

Has shown just modest form in bumpers so far, so this switch to hurdling needs to bring about improvement. Hood added.

Form: 08-5

Saturn 'n Silk¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: M Scudamore

9/2

Made the frame in a couple of bumpers and shaped with some encouragement sent hurdling after 7 weeks off when third in 16.2f Hereford novice 15 days ago. Should do better.

Form: 04-23

Forecasts

Gran Luna (4/11), Saturn 'n Silk (9/2), Sei Bella (15/2), Will Victory (9/1), Luck Of Clover (14/1), Outlaw Jesse James (50/1), Equilibrium (50/1), Brown Bullet (66/1)

GRAN LUNA looked one to follow when making a winning debut in a C&D bumper back in February and is bound to have been well schooled ahead of her hurdle debut, so she's taken to remain unbeaten. Will Victory won both her starts over timber in France in the summer and merits respect, despite having to concede weight all round.
