Hobbs Joy¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland

33/1

Norse Dancer gelding. Dam, 3m-27f hurdle/chase winner. 9/1, showed some ability before his effort flattened out when sixth in 9-runner Worcester bumper (2m) back in July and this ought to reveal more.

Form: 6

Kick Up A Storm^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

7/4

£78,000 3-y-o. Half-brother to 17f bumper winner Erins Benefit (stays 2½m). Dam, point winner/lightly raced under Rules, sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 29f) Theatre Guide. Very interesting newcomer for leading yard.

Pattern Cutter^h1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: M Keighley

16/1

Schiaparelli gelding. Dam lightly raced in bumpers/over fences. Hood fitted for debut and interesting what the market makes of him with yard also saddling Borderline.

Form:

Six And Out¹⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: D Weston

5/2

Sixties Icon gelding who is bred more for the Flat and he produced a promising first effort when second in 9-runner Ludlow bumper (15.7f) back in April, headed final 1f but keeping on. This relative speed should suit once more and possibilities.

Form: 2-

Whynotnowroy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball

3/1

Notnowcato gelding. Dam (c124/h94), 19f-23f hurdle/chase winner, sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Bally Legend. Yard no stranger to success in this sphere and he's another well worth noting for positive market vibes on debut.

Form:

Madame Bijoux

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr

66/1

Geordieland filly. Dam poor maiden hurdler (stayed 23f) out of temperamental chaser (3¼m-3½m winner) Mrs Be. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse bow.

Form:

Tango For Sally

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: M Hunt

50/1

£40,000 4-y-o, Arvico mare. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 19f) Green Tango. Market should guide on debut.

Form:

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner

66/1

Norse Dancer filly. Dam (h78) maiden hurdler. Yard 0-25 with their runners in this sphere in recent seasons.

Forecasts

Kick Up A Storm (7/4), Six And Out (5/2), Whynotnowroy (3/1), Not Long Left (6/1), Big Jim Beam (7/1), Borderline (15/2), Tara Line (8/1), Hedera Park (14/1), Pattern Cutter (16/1), Hobbs Joy (33/1), Tango For Sally (50/1), Madame Bijoux (66/1), Who's Sorry Now (66/1)

KICK UP A STORM makes plenty of appeal on paper and represents a top stable, so he could be the way to go without the benefit of market clues. Of those with previous experience, Six And Out rates the chief threat having been beaten by a subsequent winner on debut at Ludlow in the spring. Whynotnowroy, Borderline and Not Long Left are others worth monitoring.
