Age: 3| Weight: 11-3| J: Bradley Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: M F Harris| CD

11/8

Modest Flat winner who has made hay through the early part of the juvenile hurdling season, taking his tally to 3 from 4 at Stratford a week ago. Looks set to give another good account.

Form: 1211

Cowboy^t1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: W S Kittow

12/1

Fair maiden on the Flat, albeit last of 4 in blinkers at Windsor last time. Now tongue tied for hurdling debut, but hard to know if he'll take to it.

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| BF

7/2

Just modest on the Flat but gambled on and all set to make a winning hurdling debut when coming down at the last over C&D 26 days ago. Worth backing to make amends.

Form: F

Free Chakarte^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-13| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| BF

15/8

Fair on Flat (stays 1¼m) in France for Christophe Ferland, winner of 2 claimers in April and justified strong support on hurdles debut at Hexham last month. Beaten at short prices since but still makes appeal.

Form: 132

Lanfear¹⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins

28/1

Little impact in various events on Flat, so hard to make a case for switched to hurdling for the first time.

HILL STATION was in the process of justifying support in ready fashion when coming down at the last on hurdling debut here, so he's an obvious sort to gain compensation in what looks like another weak race. Fillies Mucuna and Free Chakarte have both made a solid start in this sphere, so they're feasible dangers.
