Soldiers Hill^p1,t⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 127

5/6

Fairly useful hurdler, successful at Downpatrick (22f) in July. No show on chasing bow 47 days ago and has left Gordon Elliott but big player if recapturing best form in first-time cheekpieces here.

Form: 8-6186P

Bit Of A Legend²⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: Cynthia WoodsWS

40/1

Out of a modest 17f/2¼m hurdle/chase winner. Maiden pointer, well-beaten third last time. Hard to fancy.

Form: 7/P63-

Le Fou Royal^t¹⁴

9/2

Form: P52U/2-5

Pride Of Pemberley²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: N Dunger

9/2

Fair form in a pair of bumpers in 2016/17 for Jamie Snowden. Well held on belated return/hurdles debut at Fontwell 4 weeks ago and can't be fancied.

Form: 54/8

Bunny Boru^t1⁵⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs L Hill

10/1

Winning pointer, but not seen since finishing runner-up in that game in April 2019. Tongue tied for hurdles debut.

Form: P12/

Glencoum Lass¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: T J O'Brien| T: T Lawes

20/1

Maiden Irish pointer who has offered little in mares' novice hurdles 11 months apart (trained by Colin Tizzard on first one).

Form: 7452/P-8

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: T Lawes

Forecasts

Soldiers Hill (5/6), Greenrock Abbey (11/10), Le Fou Royal (9/2), Pride Of Pemberley (9/2), Bunny Boru (10/1), Old Times (14/1), Glencoum Lass (20/1), Bit Of A Legend (40/1), Iconic Flight (50/1)

GREENROCK ABBEY is a £65,000 point winner starting out over hurdles for a yard with a cracking record here and it would be no surprise to see him make a successful return. Soldiers Hill made up into a fairly useful hurdler for Gordon Elliott and has a big shout if hitting the ground running for his new trainer.
