Annual Review^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Max Kendrick| T: F O'Brien

7/1

Just modest in bumpers, but made a more encouraging start over hurdles when third at Ludlow (15.8f) 3 weeks ago, faring best of those held up. Should do better.

Form: 69-443

Braveheart^t1²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden

13/2

Pulled up in sole point but showed some ability switched to a bumper when runner-up at Sedgefield (16.8f) 25 days ago. Tongue tie fitted for hurdle bow and not discounted.

Form: P-2

Data Protection^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: W Muir & C Grassick

4/1

Fairly useful on Flat, stays 10.5f, back to form last time following another breathing operation. Tongue tie retained for hurdle debut and should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this.

Form:

Galore Desassences^p1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| D

6/1

Fair bumper winner who offered something encouragement when third in a Market Rasen maiden hurdle (16.6f) 26 days ago, despite again not being fluent. Cheekpieces on for the 1st time.

Form: U371-P3

Huelgoat^h1²⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| BFWS

10/3

Won a 1½m bumper in France. Failed to take advantage of a good opportunity on British debut at Exeter but could come good now switching to hurdles. Hooded/had wind op.

Form: 8612-

Nine Nine Nine¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

6/1

All the rage in the market but needed the experience in sole bumper. Showed some ability behind a useful sort on Fakenham hurdle bow 15 days ago and may do better with that under his belt.

Form: 6-2

Olly's Folly¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: Mark Gillard

40/1

Modest maiden on the Flat but showed a bit of aptitude for hurdling for new yard when a well-held third over C&D 15 days ago. Should improve.

Form: 3

Paddy Husseys Taxi^h¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: N P Mulholland

66/1

Hinted at temperament in a couple of Stratford bumpers and was well beaten on Chepstow hurdle bow 16 days ago.

Form: 456

Sarvan^p,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: George Scott

7/1

Fairly useful at best on Flat, stays 1¼m. Below form in that sphere lately but may up his game on this first try hurdling sporting a tongue strap/cheekpieces combination.

Form:

Vanderbilt^p¹⁰⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 86

40/1

Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 30 hurdle runs. Creditable second in an 18.5f handicap at Newton Abbot on his latest start in July but faces a much stiffer task back in maiden company.

Form: 4-P5342

Nabvutika^h²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe

125/1

Modest maiden on the Flat and tailed off both starts over hurdles.

Form: 68

Forecasts

Huelgoat (10/3), Data Protection (4/1), Galore Desassences (6/1), Nine Nine Nine (6/1), Braveheart (13/2), Annual Review (7/1), Sarvan (7/1), Vanderbilt (40/1), Olly's Folly (40/1), Paddy Husseys Taxi (66/1), Nabvutika (125/1)

HUELGOAT failed to take advantage of a good opportunity on her British debut at Exeter in the spring, but it's still very early days with her top yard, and as a lightly-raced bumper winner in France, she's surely capable of better now switching to hurdles in a first-time hood following wind surgery. Annual Review and fairly useful Flat recruit Data Protection are a couple of potential threats.
