Bagheera Ginge²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 115

5/4

Continued race-by-race progress when landing 9-runner maiden hurdle at Stratford 3 weeks ago (18.7f), well on top at the line. Bred to stay well so could have more to offer up in trip.

Form: 321

Harlem Soul¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: S Hosie| OR: 122

22/1

Made a successful stable debut for Colin Tizzard in novice hurdle at Wincanton in March and ran creditably under a penalty back at the same course on his next outing. Unseated rider early starting out for new trainer 12 days ago.

Form: 5412-U

Similar form in a brace of Irish bumpers 3 months apart for A.J. Kennedy. Unplaced in points prior to that but has since changed hands for £45,000.

Time Flies By⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: N J Henderson| OR: 125

4/5

Fairly useful bumper winner who matched that level over hurdles when runner-up twice in 2020/21. Off 18 months and fell on chase debut in July but top connections keep the faith and he's the one to beat on peak form.

Form: 35292/F

Forecasts

Time Flies By (4/5), Bagheera Ginge (5/4), Tiger Orchid (5/1), Separate Ways (20/1), Harlem Soul (22/1), Dan Daly (33/1), Lunchable Bob (40/1), Come On Paddy Mac (100/1), Sans Of Gold (150/1)

TIME FLIES BY has clearly had his share of issues given his fleeting appearances but top connections are persevering and he's very much the one to beat if running to form returned to timber. Bagheera Ginge got the job done nicely at Stratford and with this step up in trip expected to suit, is the obvious alternative.
