Burristo^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-5| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 106| D

15/2

Fair maiden on Flat who landed a Stratford juvenile hurdle for new yard in September. Similar form when placed on 2 of 3 starts since but likely vulnerable to less exposed sorts in this field.

Form: 21393

Afternoon Tea³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Slatter⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll

40/1

Epaulette gelding who ran green and not seen to best effect when eighth of 11 in a Huntingdon bumper (13.6f) last month. Still, probably best watched now tackling timber.

Form: 8

Boulette⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

5/2

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 13f) for Jim Bolger. Definite promise when just touched off on yard/hurdles bow at Worcester (2m) in September and player with prospect of more to come.

Form: 2

Inferno Sacree^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: N J Hawke

80/1

Didn't offer much when pulled up in a Hexham juvenile hurdle at Hexham in June and got no further than the first on sole start since at Wincanton last month. Yard hold stronger claims with Boulette.

Form: PU

Many Words⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: A W Carroll

8/1

Half-brother to fair hurdlers Maria Magdalena (2m/17f winner) and Behind The Wall (2m winner). Fair maiden himself on Flat (stays 1½m) and betting may prove a good guide now hurdling for new yard.

Form:

Tease And Seize^h¹⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy

11/4

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) who turned in another creditable effort when fourth in handicap at Salisbury (1½m) in May. Has since joined good jumps outfit and he's worth a second look.

Form:

Angels Landing¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: R T Dunne| T: Ian Williams

5/2

Fair on Flat, stays 11f, progressed again when winning handicap a fortnight ago. In good hands and she may well make her mark over hurdles.

Angels Landing (5/2), Boulette (5/2), Tease And Seize (11/4), Burristo (15/2), Many Words (8/1), Afternoon Tea (40/1), Inferno Sacree (80/1)

BOULETTE encouragingly settled better than had often been the case on the Flat when runner-up on yard/hurdles bow at Worcester in September and, with progress anticipated, he's fancied to go one place better. Tease And Seize and Angels Landing, a couple of fair performers on the Flat, may emerge as the chief threats.
