3/1

One-time exciting hurdling prospect but failed to score in a disappointing campaign last term. However, back on track switched to fences at Ascot on return after wind op, just failing. Big shout.

Form: 45040-2

5/4

Progressed into a useful hurdler last season, ending the campaign with a good fourth of 22 in Grade 3 handicap at Aintree in April. Looks a chasing type so bold show could well be on the cards.

Form: 12/1374-

3/1

Dual French bumper winner who was most progressive over hurdles, finding only Soaring Glory too strong in the Betfair Hurdle. Shaped well when third on chase bow at Sandown on return and can improve.

Form: 21120-3

Cascova⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson| OR: 132

14/1

Fairly useful hurdler who signed off with win in 19f novice at Ascot in March. Refused to race on chasing debut/return here, though the farcical circumstances mean that is likely to be a one-off.

Form: P/2P21-R

14/1

Didn't need to be at best to win 4-runner novice chase at Kilbeggan in July and good placed efforts switched to handicaps next 3 starts, including for this yard.

MISTER COFFEY progressed into a useful hurdler last season and promises to be an even better chaser so can make a winning start in this sphere. Solo got firmly back on track when just denied at Ascot on chase bow/return and is an obvious threat, with Boothill and Fifty Ball others to consider.
