Grandeur D'ame⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: A King| D

16/5

Bumper winner. Not up to Graded/listed events over hurdles for Oliver Sherwood but different proposition with sights lowered when making a successful start for Alan King in Fakenham maiden.

Form: 1265-1

Aucunrisque²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| BF| D

5/6

Useful in bumpers, winning at Stratford. Only narrowly denied on his C&D hurdle debut 3 weeks ago when well backed and looks sure to go one better soon.

Form: F2-1432

Champ Is Real^h1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

300/1

Placed a couple of times in Irish points but hasn't offered much in a bumper/2 hurdles under Rules. Hooded first time.

Form: 6325-06

Hara Kiri^h⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| BF

20/1

Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers (trained by Willie Mullins first 2 starts). Makes hurdle debut.

Form: 32-3

Lawd Dylan³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: James Davies| T: O Signy

400/1

No show in bumpers (beaten when slipped and fell at Sedgefield latest).

Form: 9U

Mark Of Gold¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

8/1

Fairly useful on Flat for Richard Hannon. Showed a fair level of ability when 14 lengths fifth of 13 on Newbury hurdle debut, doing well given how hard he pulled. Likely improver.

Form: 5

Point Him Out¹⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

25/1

Fairly useful at up to 9f on the Flat in the US. Betting the best guide to expectations on this hurdle debut.

Code Name Lise⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| D

4/1

Opened her account in a bumper at Ascot in February. Matched that form when returning from wind surgery to finish third in listed company in November. Ought to make her mark over hurdles.

Form: 217-3

Vin Rouge⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

100/1

Fair maiden at up to 2m on the Flat for Jamie Osborne. Now goes hurdling for new yard after 12 weeks off. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Aucunrisque (5/6), Grandeur D'ame (16/5), Code Name Lise (4/1), Mark Of Gold (8/1), Hara Kiri (20/1), Point Him Out (25/1), Vin Rouge (100/1), Champ Is Real (300/1), Lawd Dylan (400/1)

Quite an interesting novice. AUCUNRISQUE went agonisingly close on his C&D hurdle debut last month and is fancied to make the most of the weight he receives from Fakenham winner Grandeur d'Ame. Code Name Lise reached quite a good level in bumpers and could also have a part to play.
