Kentucky Hardboot^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Moubarak| OR: 118

15/8

Fair on Flat and has translated that ability to hurdling, runner-up for second time in 2m juvenile (12/1) at Newbury 24 days ago. Holds place claims once more.

Form: 232

More Than A Prince⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy

50/1

Fair 7f winner on Flat for Richard Hannon but tried blinkered when below par at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 88 days ago. In good hands but still bit to prove for new yard now going hurdling.

Form:

Ray's The One⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore

16/1

Fair 14f maiden on the Flat for Michael Bell, though ended season under a cloud. Not written off now sent hurdling for good yard, however.

Form:

Sage Advice¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P NewlandWS

7/4

Fairly useful Irish 10f Flat winner this summer for Joseph Murphy. Has since had wind op so appealing hurdling recruit for shrewd yard who is worth monitoring in the betting.

Form:

Son Of Oz³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan Johns| T: R Stephens

200/1

40/1, last of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Warwick (16f, soft) on NH debut 26 days ago. Lots more required.

Form: 9

Tinnahalla^h²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

11/2

Showed plenty of ability on the Flat for Jamie Osborne but too keen in hood when fourth of 11 on hurdling bow at Newbury (16.3f, soft) 24 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 4

Epsom Dreamer⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: M J Attwater

300/1

Poor form in two Flat runs on AW, 200/1 when seventh of 8 in minor event at Kempton (11f) 40 days ago. Faces no easy introduction over hurdles.

Form:

Table Mountain⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| D

5/1

Fairly useful winning stayer on Flat for Andrew Balding who kept good company this season. Interesting recruit to hurdles for excellent handler so worth looking out for.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Sage Advice (7/4), Kentucky Hardboot (15/8), Bannister (9/4), Table Mountain (5/1), Tinnahalla (11/2), Ray's The One (16/1), More Than A Prince (50/1), Son Of Oz (200/1), Epsom Dreamer (300/1)

Some interesting juveniles, not least TABLE MOUNTAIN who was a fairly useful winning stayer on the level for Andrew Balding and is fancied to hit the ground running for Tom Symonds here. Sage Advice also arrives on the back of a productive campaign on the Flat so is much respected now hurdling for Dr Richard Newland. Kentucky Hardboot appeals as the pick of those with experience.
