18/1

Fair on the Flat (stays 1¼m) but made a low-key start over hurdles at Leicester in November, mistakes. Tricky to fancy.

Form: 5

Dawn Tapper^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: Joe Ponting

80/1

Modest winner on Flat (stays 1¼m), not disgraced on stable debut last time fitted with tongue tie (on again here). Work to do on first crack over hurdles.

Form:

Dirham Emirati¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

6/5

Lightly-raced fairly useful winner on Flat (stays 12.5f). 62,000 gns buy and goes hurdling after break for in-form yard with a strong team of juveniles in this sphere again. Obvious player.

Form:

Glide Down⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: A King

13/8

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat and encouraging enough start over hurdles when runner-up at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago. Needs to brush up on his jumping but will be in the mix here if doing so.

Form: 2

Silver Shade²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| BF

9/2

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¾m), pulled up soon after start on latest run in June and not seen since (sold from Mark Johnston 18,000 gns in October). Bit to prove on hurdles debut but in good hands.

Gary Moore has another strong bunch of juvenile hurdlers and DIRHAM EMIRATI should be up to making his mark in this sphere at the first time of asking. Glide Down needs to jump better than he did at Market Rasen but that experience won't be lost on him and he's an obvious player.
