Sopran Thor⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 12-3| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 120| D

1/1

Fairly useful hurdler who is Flat bred but he looked transformed by a switch to fences when an easy winner at Lingfield last week. Obvious claims under a penalty.

Form: 42231-1

Nebuchadnezzar¹⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 119

28/1

Fairly useful hurdler who may have needed the run after 3 months off when fifth starting out over fences at Fakenham in May. Off again since.

Form: 1/9378-5

Quick Draw^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 118

7/2

Improved when gaining breakthrough success over hurdles at Chepstow in April. Put in a decent shift when third of 7 on recent chase debut at Huntingdon (2½m) and should make his presence felt.

Form: 23513-3

Brief Ambition^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 117| BF| D

11/2

Fairly useful bumper winner who doubled hurdles tally fitted with cheekpieces on in 2½m novice at Perth in September. Didn't look straightforward at Worcester and no banker to take to fences.

Form: 24-1315

Ballinsker²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 115

12/1

Point winner who landed 2m handicap hurdle at Southwell in June. Early chase exploits suggest he's not going to be as good over fences.

Form: 841P45

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: J W Mullins| OR: 114

14/1

Runner-up for the second time in novice company over hurdles at Fontwell in April. Should make chaser and he's unexposed.

Forecasts

Sopran Thor (1/1), Quick Draw (7/2), Brief Ambition (11/2), Ballinsker (12/1), Fearless Fracas (12/1), Morfee (14/1), Nebuchadnezzar (28/1)

SOPRAN THOR took superbly to the larger obstacles when a ready winner at Lingfield last week and he will take some stopping under a penalty. Quick Draw looks the chief threat.
