11/10
Fairly useful bumper winner in 2020 and also placed 3 times on the Flat. Fair form when placed both starts over hurdles in recent months and looks the one to beat.

Fair form. Back on track when fourth over 23f at Market Rasen in June but wasn't in the same form on handicap debut there last time.

eft debut form well behind in a first-time tongue tie to make second bumper outing a winning one at this course (16.8f, good) 37 days ago, kept up to work. Makes hurdles debut.

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Hooded for 1st time, possibly flattered on first run since leaving David Harry Kelly when last of 2 in novice hurdle (11/1) at Ffos Las (20f) 31 days ago.

Exceeded expectations in filling a clear third on hurdling debut here (21.6f) 16 days ago. Remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.

5/2
Fairly useful on the Flat. Not quite the same force in this sphere but should be competitive back in maiden company.

Modest on Flat, stays 2m, respectable effort last time. Would be an unlikely winner on hurdle debut.

12/1
Fairly useful on the Flat (stays 1½m) in France and probably needed the run when well held in maiden at Worcester on hurdling debut 25 days ago. Open to improvement.

Forecasts

Beholden (11/10), Ship Of The Fen (5/2), Mister Sweets (9/2), Oscars Fame (13/2), Ottavio (12/1), Holerday Ridge (14/1), Master Of Spin (16/1), Grove Ash (28/1), Snow Stoppin Him (40/1), Smith (50/1), Cheat (200/1)

Verdict

BEHOLDEN has shown enough on both his starts over hurdles to suggest he can win a race of this nature, so he receives the vote. Ottavio is surely capable of better given his fairly useful Flat ability, while Ship of The Fen ought to make more of an impact back in maiden company.

  1. BEHOLDEN
  2. OTTAVIO
  3. SHIP OF THE FEN
