Inca Prince^h⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson

85/40

Fairly useful winner at 7f on Flat. Isn't straightforward but has shown a fair level of form in a trio of juvenile hurdles in Ireland and has since moved to Ruth Jefferson. Player.

Form: 533

Inside Informant^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: L Morgan

50/1

Flintshire gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1m Augustus Caesar. Dam smart 7f winner. Wears hood. Market useful.

Form:

Kayfast Warrior⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

5/2

Fairly useful on Flat for Tom Dascombe, stays 1¼m, completed a hat-trick in July and posted a creditable effort last time. Has joined a good NH yard and should be up to making his mark in this sphere.

Form:

Keep The Faith⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: M & D Easterby

80/1

Fair maiden on the Flat (best effort at 1½m), made an inauspicious start over hurdles at Sedgefield last month, jumping badly right and unseating his rider at the first.

Form: U

Krypton Gold¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds

9/4

Half-brother to very smart hurdler Aspire Tower. Modest maiden on Flat (sold 4,000 gns), but he offered something to work on switched to this sphere when second at Leicester 16 days ago. Can improve.

Form: 2

Lindwall^t1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

16/1

Fair stayer on Flat, got an AW hat-trick up for Sir Mark Prescott in October. 15,000 gns purchase but made an underwhelming hurdling debut at Wetherby last month. Tongue tie added.

Form: 5

Monsieur Pom Pom

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: A Keatley

25/1

Pomellato gelding. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Oviedo. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Market perhaps best guide to expectations.

Form:

Outback Boy^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

100/1

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 12f) but became disappointing in that sphere this summer and has shown little aptitude for hurdling in a couple of starts.

Form: 97

Shielded⁶⁹

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

50/1

Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1¼m, second at Brighton in September but well beaten last time. Sold from Simon & Ed Crisford for 9,000 gns in October.

Form:

Subtle Innuendo²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: B Butterworth

100/1

Showed a bit on hurdles debut for the Easterbys at Market Rasen in the summer but was pulled up at Wetherby 4 months later.

Form: 3P

Tommaso¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

11/2

Fair maiden on the Flat who shaped with encouragement sent hurdling when third of 9 in juvenile at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Likely to improve and this track should suit.

Form: 3

Uccello²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond

150/1

Beat just 4 rivals in as many starts on the Flat for Karl Burke and sent off 80/1 when unseating his rider at the fourth on Wetherby hurdle debut 20 days ago.

Form: U

Rita R⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: F P Murtagh

100/1

Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1¾m, failed to stay back up markedly in trip last time. Others make more appeal.

Form:

Forecasts

Inca Prince (85/40), Krypton Gold (9/4), Kayfast Warrior (5/2), Tommaso (11/2), Lindwall (16/1), Monsieur Pom Pom (25/1), Inside Informant (50/1), Shielded (50/1), Keep The Faith (80/1), Outback Boy (100/1), Rita R (100/1), Subtle Innuendo (100/1), Uccello (150/1)

KRYPTON GOLD is a half-brother to very smart hurdler Aspire Tower and made an encouraging start in this sphere when second at Leicester 16 days ago, so he appeals as the most persuasive option with improvement on the cards. Recent Market Rasen third Tommaso should be suited by this bare 2m and is second choice but Kayfast Warrior and Inca Prince also look big threats.
