1/2

Useful in bumpers last term, winning twice and fourth in Grade 2 at Aintree. Good start over hurdles, winning at the first attempt before finding only one too good both outings since. Leading player.

Form: 114-122

Silent Revolution³⁴

6/4

Fair form in bumpers and displayed willing attitude to make successful reappearance/hurdles bow (after a wind op) at Newbury in November. Pulled up in the Supreme but now back in much calmer waters

Form: 213-1P

Half Nelson^h¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: G Harris

50/1

Bred to stay well and looked one for the longer term in a pair of bumpers 11 weeks apart. Makes hurdles debut.

Lindisfarne^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: R Walford

66/1

Dam, ungenuine maiden jumper, half-sister to modest hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Bronzesmith. Little promise in various company.

Forecasts

Luttrell Lad (1/2), Silent Revolution (6/4), Charlie's Glance (5/1), The Big Red One (12/1), Syr Maffos (40/1), Junior Doctor (50/1), Lindisfarne (66/1), Glance At Me (125/1), Half Nelson (200/1)

LUTTRELL LAD was useful in bumpers last season and made a good impression when winning on hurdles debut. He has lost little in defeat both starts since, bumping into a promising newcomer at Exeter on the latest occasion, and he can get his head back in front kept to novice company. The main danger looks to be Silent Revolution who ran in the Supreme last month, while Charlie's Glance can give his running again.
