11/4
Irish point winner who made a successful start under Rules in a Sedgefield maiden hurdle 4 weeks ago. Should be more to come for a stable which continues in good form.

5/2
Runner-up in point and built on the promise of his hurdle debut third when scoring over 2½m at Ffos Las 43 days ago. Drop back in trip a slight concern but conditions should place emphasis on stamina.

Brother to very smart chaser Captain Guinness. Bought for £65,000 after winning an Irish point. Very interesting runner, particularly if betting vibes strong.

40/1
Irish point winner who has only managed seventh in a couple of novice hurdles under Rules, but there was plenty of money for him last time so he's presumably thought capable of better.

3/1
Dual chase winner in the mud in France who also showed fair form over hurdles there. Betting perhaps the best guide to what is expected on British debut.

Fair form when placed in a couple of bumpers nearly 6 months apart. Should have a future over jumps.

Cityscape gelding who showed ability in bumpers 6 months, returning from a break to finish third at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago. Another who can't be discounted.

Forecasts

Transfer Friendly (5/2), Jungle Jack (11/4), Georges Saint (3/1), Captain Broomfield (9/2), Moveit Like Minnie (6/1), Notlongtillmay (9/1), Urban Grit (22/1), Gandhi Maker (40/1)

Verdict

This looks quite an open novice. JUNGLE JACK gets the vote on the back of his Sedgefield hurdle debut success at the beginning of the month. Irish point recruit Captain Broomfield would rate a danger if the betting suggests he's fancied, while dual bumper winner Moveit Like Minnie has the potential to leave the form of his hurdle debut behind.

  1. JUNGLE JACK
  2. CAPTAIN BROOMFIELD (IRE)
  3. MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE (IRE)
