Raven Court²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 115

13/2

Promising third on hurdles debut in 2m Kempton novice last season (final run for Philip Hobbs) and back on track when fourth in similar event at Doncaster last time. Opening mark demands more.

Form: 368/3-04

Quiana¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 110

13/8

Promise over hurdles for new yard, including on return at Plumpton in December and good second in a jumpers bumper at Kempton a fortnight ago. Open to improvement now handicapping.

Form: 03-42

Hereia^p1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110| D

11/2

Fair 2m hurdle winner in Ireland. Yet to seriously threaten for this yard and has unseated the last twice. Down in grade with cheekpieces applied, so not totally ruled out.

Form: 4-506UU

Bolt N Brown^p⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J E Moore| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 105| D

11/1

Fair maiden on Flat who was allowed an easy lead when making winning hurdle debut at Ludlow last term. Unable to reproduce that since and below form back on the level recently. Others preferred.

Form: 1-267

Great Hall^p⁶⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Quinn| OR: 101| CD

11/4

Hard to win with under both codes in more recent times and was only seventh in handicap hurdle at this course a couple of months ago. Becoming well treated and headgear is back on.

Form: 52-4447

Legend Of France^h⁴⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 94| D

16/1

Modest hurdler who wasn't far off the pace when falling 2 out at Plumpton on sole start last season and could be a factor if ready to roll following 15 months off.

Form: 81345/F-

Malina Ocarina^h1³⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 93

20/1

Looked in control when falling 2 out on hurdling debut at Worcester in July 2019 but never went on from that. Returns for new stable after 11 months off and looks best watched.

Form: 92F540-

Forecasts

Quiana (13/8), Great Hall (11/4), Hereia (11/2), Raven Court (13/2), Bolt N Brown (11/1), Legend Of France (16/1), Malina Ocarina (20/1)

QUIANA almost landed a jumpers bumper last time and remains with plenty of potential as a hurdler, so he's a confident selection to make a winning handicap debut. Raven Court is another lightly-raced type with the scope for better, so he's feared most ahead of Great Hall, who is too well treated to ignore completely.
