Runner-up in a point in 2018 but no show in 2 hurdles for Louisa Carberry in France in 2020. Cheekpieces added. Can only watch unless market vibes strong.

Multiple Irish point winner who has also shown ability under Rules, racing freely when fifth of 15 over 19.5f at Chepstow 16 days ago. Has a hood on to hopefully help him settle better. Place claims.

Maiden pointer who was well held on his Warwick hurdle debut 11 days ago. Gerico Ville looks very much the yard first strong.

Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Oct 3). Joined a respected yard ahead of his this Rules debut and would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

Runner-up sole start in points around a year ago but well held on both hurdle starts this winter. First-time tongue tie needs to have a transforming effect.

Related to plenty of winners. Both hurdle runs over C&D, stepping up on his first attempt when runner-up 34 days ago. Form boosted since and the one to beat.

£45,000 buy after winning his sole point in April. Plugged on for fifth on his Chepstow bumper debut 16 days ago and this longer trip should help now hurdling.

Third in a pair of bumpers in spring 2019 but off for 953 days ahead of this switch to hurdles. Best watched unless the market hints otherwise.

Little show on the Flat for Gary Moore way back in 2019 and similar story over hurdles for new yard.

Ran green when fourth of 11 in bumper at Warwick (16f, soft) on debut in February. Showed a bit again when 24 lengths fourth on 20.5f Leicester hurdle debut 18 days ago. May well do better.

Well beaten in 2 bumpers this autumn so doesn't strike as an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles.

Forecasts

Gerico Ville (4/5), Essential Jaco (7/2), Concrete King (7/2), Pilot Show (10/1), Kings Krackertara (16/1), Coolvalla (33/1), Richidish (66/1), Chasing Highs (80/1), Fitz In (100/1), Santesa (150/1), Tommy Dillion (250/1), Squire Hockey (250/1)

Verdict

GERICO VILLE's latest C&D second looks good form and this looks a very good opportunity for him to go one better. The likes of Concrete King, Pilot Show and Essential Jaco can battle it out for minor honours.

  1. GERICO VILLE (FR)
  2. CONCRETE KING (IRE)
  3. PILOT SHOW (IRE)
