Ballymilan¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 95| D

Dual chase winner early in the summer but she's not the most reliable and has been well below her best back hurdling the last twice.

Form: 117275

Cobra Commander¹⁹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 92

20/1

Improved for a step up in trip when bagging 2 chase wins around 3m back in April. His hurdle rating has also gone up on the back of those victories but he is unexposed as a stayer.

Form: 3/7PP11-

T'Araison²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 88

7/4

Pulled up on handicap hurdle debut in cheekpieces in February but fared better with the cheekpieces discarded when fourth in a 3m Huntingdon handicap chase the following month. Reverts to hurdles on return and remains unexposed after only 5 starts. Market support would look significant.

Forecasts

T'Araison (7/4), Immortal Fame (7/2), Easkey Lad (9/2), Bobalot (5/1), Ballymilan (8/1), Blue Sans (16/1), Cobra Commander (20/1)

EASKEY LAD has been in good form over fences in recent weeks and went close off similar marks over hurdles last season so he's the suggestion. Immortal Fame had a productive time in handicaps last term and would rate a threat if primed for his reappearance. T'araison and Bobalot are unexposed types who could also have a say.
