Runner-up on bumper debut (for Dan Skelton) but failed to reproduce that in 3 subsequent starts in that sphere. Betting should guide to now hurdling after 7 months off.

Latest 16 lengths third in 2m Fakenham maiden confirms he has ability but suspicion he may prove vulnerable for win purposes again.

Modest in bumpers and well held in a couple of course hurdles this summer.

Fairly useful on the Flat for Andrew Balding and has shaped with encouragement when third in maiden/novice hurdles for new stable this summer. Capable of winning one of these.

Down the field in bumpers 19 months apart (trained on debut by Christian Williams.

Useful at best on Flat (stays 1¾m) for Mark Johnston in 2018. Not at the same level for this yard since returning from a long absence. Hurdle debut.

Went the wrong way in bumpers but better signs switch to hurdles when fifth of 10 in 2m Southwell maiden 15 days ago. Likely to improve.

Looks one for the longer term on early evidence.

17/2
Runner-up in point. Last of 6 on Huntingdon bumper debut in March but the fact he went off at 6/4 suggests a lot better was anticipated. Had wind op after and also sports tongue tie now hurdling.

½-length second of 2 finishers sole start in Irish points (Dec 2020). 18/1, well held in a Fakenham maiden hurdle for Christian Williams 31 days ago. Changed stable since.

Well held on sole previous hurdle start last winter but his fairly useful Flat exploits suggest he should be capable of better in this sphere. Tongue tied first time.

Promise in bumper/maiden hurdle on first 2 starts but took a backward step when down the field at Fakenham on New Year's Day. Given a break since and has tongue tie added on return.

Modest maiden hurdler. Did pick up a low-grade AW Flat win in January but others are preferred back jumping.

French Flat winner at a similar time last year. Joined a good yard ahead of hurdle debut and interesting to see how he compare in the market to Big G.

Forecasts

Edinburgh Castle (11/8), Sharp Suited (4/1), Captain Ivan (7/1), Our Colossus (17/2), Ottavio (17/2), Big G (16/1), Swedishhorsemafia (16/1), King's Proctor (25/1), Monymusk Lad (25/1), Zayriyan (33/1), Planned Paradise (80/1), Gris D'oudairies (100/1), Deep Inferno (200/1), Port Lockroy (200/1), Muddled Up (200/1)

Verdict

EDINBURGH CASTLE has offered enough in a couple of recent hurdle starts to suggest he can win a race like this. Sharp Suited's Flat ability suggests he should be capable of better than he showed on his sole previous hurdle start last winter so he's a possible threat, while the strength behind Our Collossus in a bumper back in March indicates that he could be quite well regarded by Fergal O'Brien.

  1. EDINBURGH CASTLE (IRE)
  2. SHARP SUITED
  3. OUR COLOSSUS (IRE)
