8/11
Put experience to good use when making all in Newbury bumper and stepped up on hurdling debut effort when runner-up at Uttoxeter last month. Rates as a likely improver dropped back down in trip.

Offered little on both starts over hurdles at Chepstow so far, finishing with running left without being knocked about on latest. Looks a handicap project so others appeal more on qualifying run.

6/1
Progressive in 3 starts in bumpers so far, finishing second of 8 at this C&D back in May. Has the scope to make an above-average jumper in time so worth a market check on hurdles debut.

16/5
Fair maiden on Flat who made quite a promising start over hurdles when second in a C&D novice last month. Filled the same spot 10 days later and every chance of featuring with cheekpieces applied.

Fair bumper winner who showed plenty to work on when fifth behind the re-opposing Port Or Starboard in a novice over this C&D on hurdling bow 29 days ago. More to come, so warrants consideration.

Looks to be being brought along gradually, running-on eighth of 11 in novice hurdle (100/1) at this C&D (soft) 29 days ago.

Lucarno half-sister to hurdler Pennant Dance who offered little when well held on hurdles bow over C&D 29 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere once again.

Forecasts

Fine Casting (8/11), Port Or Starboard (16/5), Knowwhentoholdem (7/2), Spike Jones (6/1), Pilgrims King (6/1), Git Maker (13/2), Noter Le (80/1), Vians Hill (125/1), Pennant Empress (250/1)

Verdict

FINE CASTING left his hurdling debut effort behind when finishing runner-up at Uttoxeter last month, no match for a stronger stayer but still looking in need of the experience. He remains capable of better, so Ben Pauling's charge gets the verdict. Port Or Starboard finished a few places ahead of Spike Jones last time and they can chase the selection home in that order.
