Burristo²⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

7/2

Fair maiden on the Flat for Richard Hannon but off since below-par sixth in 1m nursery at Kempton 9 months ago. Not ruled out for his new yard in this sphere though on his comeback run.

Form:

Langafel¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

4/1

Modest maiden at best on the Flat, last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 14 days ago. Needs more now going hurdling.

Form:

Rwanda Mist²³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

6/4

Modest maiden on the Flat for George Scott, placed over 2m. Well worth considering on his first go in this sphere for his shrewd new handler.

Form:

Scrappy Jack¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jay Tidball⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W G M Turner

66/1

22/1, offered little on his debut when last of 5 in minor event at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Quickly switched to hurdles with plenty more needed.

Form:

Thistleton²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

3/1

Fair 1m maiden on the level, and arrives on back of fair sixth in 7f Brighton handicap 20 days ago. Needs considering now sent over hurdles.

Form:

Friendly Princess³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: James Best| T: J S Moore

25/1

Modest maiden on the Flat who was only eighth of 12 in 1m2f handicap (40/1) at Bath 31 days ago. More is required in this sphere.

Form:

Sentilly¹²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Alexandra Dunn

66/1

Has shown very little on both runs in Wolverhampton novices. Goes hurdling now with lots to find.

Forecasts

Rwanda Mist (6/4), Thistleton (3/1), Burristo (7/2), Langafel (4/1), Friendly Princess (25/1), Scrappy Jack (66/1), Sentilly (66/1)

The market will no doubt reveal plenty here with no hurdling form to go on but RWANDA MIST arrives fit from the Flat and with his stamina proven so gets the nod. Burristo lacks a recent outing but was capable of fair form on the level and is still feared most on his debut for Fergal O'Brien. Thistleton is another who needs considering given his fair Flat form.
