Young Buck^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 133| CD

4/9

Points winner who looked very useful prospect on only second hurdling start when impressive scorer of novice over C&D 35 days ago. Clear form pick so leading claims.

Form: 1/3-1

Beatthebullet¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis

20/1

14/1, promising fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) on NH debut 17 days ago. Up in trip and should have more to offer.

Form: 14124-5

Carlow Farmer^t1³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 113

33/1

Winning pointer but has failed to go on in four runs over hurdles, pulled up in 23f handicap (20/1) at Lingfield on return. Tongue strap on now with plenty to prove.

Form: 1/33P-P

Gallow Ford³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price

18/1

Westerner gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, notably useful chaser Abbey Magic. Appeals on paer but this is no easy introduction.

Form: 4P-611

Geordie Washington²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke

33/1

100/1, green when encouraging fifth of 11 in novice hurdle here (19.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 23 days ago. Up in trip and sure to improve but he needs to if he's to trouble the principals.

Form: 5

Joe Haze¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: P C Dando

125/1

100/1 when last of 10 in bumper at Chepstow on NH debut 16 days ago. Makes hurdles debut now with big step forward required.

Form: 0

Onchan²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

9/4

Promising hurdler who built on debut run when staying-on third in 20f novice hurdle at Wetherby 25 days ago. Step up in trip will really suit so this well-bred sort is an interesting contender.

Form: 66-3

Yorsexyanduknowit²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: A Wintle

250/1

Twice-raced maiden hurdler, only twelfth of 14 in novice (500/1) at Stratford (22f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: F0

Forecasts

Young Buck (4/9), Onchan (9/4), Wick Green (14/1), Gallow Ford (18/1), Beatthebullet (20/1), Carlow Farmer (33/1), Geordie Washington (33/1), Midnight Makeover (100/1), Joe Haze (125/1), Yorsexyanduknowit (250/1)

YOUNG BUCK looked a young hurdler going places when a ready C&D winner last month so is hard to oppose but Nigel Twiston-Davies' Onchan is a really interesting sort too so shouldn't be underestimated in receipt of 6 lb from Paul Nicholls' 6-y-o now he goes up in trip. Beatthebullet appeals as the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect in an intriguing contest.
