Off time: 13:58 | Winning time: 3m 56.97s

Trailboss²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 118

6/5

Fairly useful winner on Flat and made second hurdle start a winning one at Newton Abbot (16.8f) 17 days ago, scoring with a bit in hand after left clear 2 out. Respected under a penalty.

Form: 2/3-1

Charcor³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: James Bowen| T: N C Kelly| OR: 116

5/1

Runner-up twice over hurdles for Jessica Harrington last term and, although debut for this stable in handicap at Punchestown wasn't all that encouraging, he may well bounce back in calmer waters.

Form: 2200-

Dixieland Swing²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Ross Chapman| T: D Bourke

8/1

Fair form in bumpers since joining this stable, better than the result when fifth here 25 days ago. Bred for the Flat, though, so not certain to do better in this sphere.

Form: 6/32-5

Geonice²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Callum Bewley| T: J & S Quinn

100/1

Bumper efforts towards end of last year weren't devoid of promise, but no encouragement over hurdles to this point.

Form: 66F-0

Hardies Hill⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Connor Wood⁽⁷⁾| T: K Scott

400/1

Little impact in a Kelso bumper on debut and fared no better on hurdles bow at Hexham last month.

Form: 9P-

Lock Down Luke¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs J Stephen| D

13/2

Fairly useful bumper winner who was well backed but jumped poorly (fell) in a novice at Perth on hurdling bow. Could make his presence felt with a clearer round.

Form: 126-F

Scots Sonnet^h¹¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Reed| T: J S Goldie

125/1

Showed little in bumpers and is a long-standing maiden on the Flat. No promise in novice at Musselburgh on hurdling debut 112 days ago.

Form: 756/7-

Well Educated⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Craig Nichol| T: J & S Quinn| BF

9/2

Fair form in bumpers, including when third at this track 49 days ago, and bred to take to jumping, so he's a notable hurdling debutant.

Form: 423-

My Macho Man^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: M A Barnes| OR: 98

28/1

Fair Flat winner for John Quinn but yet to reproduce that form as a hurdler.

Form: 65-4

Turbo Command¹⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs A C Hamilton

50/1

Fairly useful Flat winner. 10/3, fourth of 13 in claimer at Dundalk (7f). First run for yard after leaving M. Halford. Interesting newcomer to this sphere.

Form:

Willy Nilly³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 107

12/1

Dual Flat winner for Clive Cox and left previous form in this sphere well behind when third in an 8-runner Ludlow novice (15.8f, good). One to consider.

Form: P03-

Flighty Bride⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: D J Jeffreys

100/1

Modest form in bumpers and likely to be more of a long-term project as a hurdler.

Form: 3550-

Gypsey's Secret²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss S E Forster

250/1

No show in a pair of bumpers and a novice hurdle.

Form: 45-P

Forecasts

Trailboss (6/5), Well Educated (9/2), Charcor (5/1), Lock Down Luke (13/2), Dixieland Swing (8/1), Willy Nilly (12/1), My Macho Man (28/1), Turbo Command (50/1), Flighty Bride (100/1), Geonice (100/1), Scots Sonnet (125/1), Gypsey's Secret (250/1), Hardies Hill (400/1)

TRAILBOSS had something up his sleeve when scoring in a novice at Newton Abbot 25 days ago and looks capable of following up under a penalty unless Well Educated puts up an efficient display on hurdling debut. Charcor is a big threat on the pick of his efforts but needs to bounce back from a poor run.
