Amerdale¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Willmott⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

150/1

No impact both starts, reportedly breaking a blood vessel at Southwell a fortnight ago.

Form: P-7

Grand Du Nord³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 110| BF| C

30/100

Course bumper winner last April who looked in danger of going the wrong way over hurdles but he showed a lot more on the back of a wind op when second over C&D a month ago. Looks the one to beat.

Form: 01/625-2

True Destiny^p,t⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: J J Lambe| OR: 94

5/1

Pretty useful Flat winner for Roger Charlton but it hasn't yet happened over hurdles in Ireland. This is easier and headgear now on with Brian Hughes booked.

Form: 099-0

Belvedere Blast¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley

8/1

Modest at best on the Flat but capable of making more of an impact over hurdles, sticking to the task when runner-up over 18.6f at Market Rasen 16 days ago. Should be in the mix.

Form: 62

Silver Coin²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Callum Bewley| T: Ruth Jefferson

22/1

Stuck to her task when fourth of 8 on hurdles debut Uttoxeter in May. That isn't form to get carried away with but he can build on that.

Form: 7-4

Young Moloney⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: D Bourke

40/1

Left debut form well behind when fifth of 7 upped to 25.7f at Sligo on final start for S.Curling in October. Off since.

Form: 55F-

Forecasts

Grand Du Nord (30/100), True Destiny (5/1), Belvedere Blast (8/1), Silver Coin (22/1), Young Moloney (40/1), Amerdale (150/1)

Having won a course bumper last year, GRAND DU NORD produced his most promising effort yet over hurdles on the back of a breathing op when second over C&D last month and a repeat of that form may see him go one place better. Belvedere Blast is the chief threat unless there's market support for True Destiny.
