Abuffalosoldier⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Henry Brooke| T: W Greatrex

5/2

Fairly useful form when landing bumper at Southwell last month, strong at the finish. Son of Mahler is not discounted now going hurdling with this step up in trip sure to suit.

Form: 31

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Mrs S Gardner

100/1

18/1, never-dangerous seventh of 11 in novice at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) on his hurdles bow 15 days ago. Plenty more is required.

Farmer's Gamble¹⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

15/2

9/1, encouraging fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Worcester (23f, good) on his NH debut 157 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Can step forward.

Form: 4

14/1

28/1, encouraging fourth of 15 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) on his hurdles bow 35 days ago. Should have more to offer now his stamina is drawn out more.

Form: 3-84

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: J E Moore| T: Alexandra Dunn

125/1

Tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Taunton (19f, 66/1) on NH debut 27 days ago. Big step forward is required.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: R Patrick| T: M Scudamore

300/1

Has offered little on both his runs over hurdles, twelfth of 18 in novice here (150/1) 43 days ago. Up in trip with lots of work to do.

150/1

Not knocked about when seventh of 12 in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, 33/1) on NH debut 8 days ago. Sort to do better in due course.

Form: 3-7

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard

10/1

Still in need of the experience when seventh of 13 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Chepstow (16f, soft) 30 days ago. Up in trip with more to offer.

Form: 777

Wetanwindy⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris

22/1

125/1, hinted at promise when sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f) on his debut 9 days ago. Likely to do better now.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: T Scudamore| T: H Brown

£75,000 5-y-o, Robin Des Champs mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Washed Ashore. Dam useful 2m-2½m hurdle winner. Point winner. Market could guide.

Forecasts

Grosvenor Court (6/5), Abuffalosoldier (5/2), Farmer's Gamble (15/2), Plenty Of Time (8/1), The Changing Man (10/1), Hard Frost (14/1), Labei Vitesse (20/1), Wetanwindy (22/1), Bluffmeifyoucan (100/1), Kayf Baha (125/1), Stringtoyourbow (150/1), Robbie Dazzler (300/1)

GROSVENOR COURT sets a high standard on form and can also boast a course win too so Alan King's 6-y-o is impossible to oppose despite conceding weight all round. Fairly useful bumper scorer Abuffalosoldier is an interesting newcomer with this step up in trip a big plus for the son of Mahler. Ludlow fourth Hard Frost is another to consider now his stamina is drawn out further.
