Indigo Lake^p³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland

15/2

Fairly useful performer on the Flat but was well held returning form 18 months off at Ffos Las last time and lacked application in a pair of juvenile hurdles in 2020/21. Looks risky.

Form: 45/

Mordred^h²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: M F Harris| OR: 94

7/4

Dual winner at Saint Moritz on Flat. Yet to score in 6 attempts in this sphere but did take a step back in the right direction when fourth in a 16.7f handicap at Bangor 26 days ago, despite jumping none too fluently.

Form: 2354-64

Lusaka³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 105

4/6

Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 11f) in Ireland. Stepped up on his hurdling debut form when runner-up at Southwell in July and ran to a similar level when filling same spot at Fontwell (17.7) last time, just failing. Holds leading claims.

Form: 422

Forecasts

Lusaka (4/6), Mordred (7/4), Seigneur Des As (15/8), Thunder Flash (6/1), Indigo Lake (15/2)

LUSAKA looked a bit unlucky not to win at Fontwell last month, so he's taken to gain compensation and open his account as a hurdler. Seigneur des As looks an interesting recruit for the Milton Harris yard having shown ability in France and is considered the main threat.
