Oceanline⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

4/5

Fairly useful on the Flat and he arrives on the back of 14f win at Sandown in August. Interesting hurdling recruit for top yard.

Form:

Too Friendly⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

5/4

Fairly useful 10f Flat winner for George Scott and gelded since running with credit in handicap at Newmarket in July. Much respected now going over hurdles for top yard.

Form:

Baby Sham¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 92

22/1

Modest 1m winner on the level who has shown similar form in three runs over hurdles, fifth of 11 in juvenile at Plumpton (17.8f) 15 days ago. More is needed here in all probability, though.

Form: 7P5

Sly Madam⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West

50/1

Poor maiden on the Flat for Mick Channon who has also shows signs of temperament. She looks to face no easy introduction to this sphere.

Oceanline (4/5), Too Friendly (5/4), Baby Sham (22/1), Sly Madam (50/1)

OCEANLINE and Too Friendly were both fairly useful winners on the Flat and look the types to do well in this sphere but preference on this occasion is for Alan King's dual scorer who proved his stamina over 14f when scoring at Sandown in August. Baby Sham appeals as the one to chase them home.
