Off time: 17:35 | Winning time: 4m 0.8s

Caramelised²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| CD

4/9

Looked a promising early-season juvenile hurdler when making a successful start over C&D (good) last month. Very much the one to beat with further improvement on the cards.

Form: 1

Aggagio^h⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs S Leech

17/2

Fairly useful Flat winner in France. Not disgraced in a couple of Flat starts for this trainer and ought to be up to making his presence felt in a race like this.

Form:

Crane²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

14/1

Fairly useful around on Flat for Michael Bell. Well behind Caramelised on his C&D hurdle debut last month but he's surely better than that.

Form: 6

Gavin^h1⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Joe Ponting

125/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for Rod Millman. Hooded now hurdling for new yard. Best watched.

Form:

Gonna Go Viral⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Farrelly

66/1

Well held in maidens/handicap on the Flat in Ireland. Likely outsider on hurdle debut for new connections.

Form:

Prey For Glory⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: D P Quinn

22/1

Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1½m) for James Ferguson. Market perhaps the best guide now hurdling for a new trainer.

Form:

Sabre Jet^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy

12/1

Fair maiden on the Flat, finishing second in a Yarmouth handicap last time. Stable no stranger to juvenile hurdle success.

Form:

Von Melas²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby

50/1

Beaten a long way on all 3 Flat starts but he did show clear ability when third of 6 last time. Hurdle debut.

Form:

Addosh^h²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

15/2

Fairly useful Flat winner for Hugo Palmer. Respectable third at Newmarket on yard debut at the end of July. Appeals as one who could do well in these events.

Form:

Baby Sham³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins

16/1

Fair Flat winner for Stuart Williams. Off 5 months, shaped as if needing run when fading into seventh on Newton Abbot hurdle/yard debut last month. May do better.

Form: 7

Free Degrees²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies

150/1

200/1, first run since leaving Hilal Kobeissi when fifth of 6 in juvenile at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on hurdle debut 29 days ago.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Caramelised (4/9), Addosh (15/2), Aggagio (17/2), Sabre Jet (12/1), Crane (14/1), Baby Sham (16/1), Prey For Glory (22/1), Von Melas (50/1), Gonna Go Viral (66/1), Gavin (125/1), Free Degrees (150/1)

This looks the better of the 2 divisions. CARAMELISED is very much the one to beat after his hurdle debut success here but Aggagio and Addosh appeal as the sorts who could make their presence felt in juvenile hurdles, while Crane is surely better than he showed behind the selection here last month.
