Edebez^b1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 87

50/1

Modest form on Flat and hasn't offered hope for any better over hurdles in trio juvenile events so far this term. Blinkers now enlisted.

Form: 464

Nassalam¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

1/1

Dream Well gelding who ran well when second of 14 to Hemevoici in newcomers' race at Clairefontaine on hurdling debut in June. Has joined another good yard and is the type to improve.

Form: 2

Sly Minx¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Joshua Moore| T: C Gordon

9/2

Fair performer on Flat (stays 1½m) but well held last 2 starts in handicaps during the summer for Mick Channon. Market may well prove a useful guide ahead of this switch to hurdling.

Forecasts

Nassalam (1/1), Shentri (7/4), Sly Minx (9/2), Warranty (6/1), Edebez (50/1)

A race in which Gary Moore unleashed the high-class Goshen 12 months ago and he has another handy prospect in the shape of NASSALAM. Runner-up in a newcomers' event at Clairefontaine in June, he's very much the type to improve and earns the vote. Fellow French recruit Shentri is the lead threat, ahead of hurdles-debutant Warranty.
