Embolden¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson

9/1

Shaped better than bare result when fifth of 11 in bumper (7/1) over C&D (good to soft) on NH debut 39 days ago, doing too much too soon. One to consider on hurdles bow.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: D G Bridgwater

Miss Mocktail⁵⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead

125/1

Shown ability in bumpers but not seen for 18 months and is probably best watched first time up over timber here.

Rainbow Jet¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Mackie

80/1

Fairly useful at best on Flat but unfancied and got no further than first on hurdles bow at Southwell last month.

Form: U

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Danny Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: Joe Ponting

200/1

Well held in 2 minor events on Flat and offered little on Ludlow hurdles debut last month.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Clonakilty (5/6), Doyen For Money (5/2), Sageburg County (9/1), Ballydisco (14/1), Hokelami (18/1), Embolden (25/1), Kash Tara (25/1), Wind Of Fortune (33/1), Mr Biggs (40/1), Tellairsue (66/1), Rainbow Jet (80/1), White Rhino (100/1), Miss Mocktail (125/1), Nakedfarrier (200/1)

CLONAKILTY acquitted himself well on his NH bow at Chepstow last month and can open his account here. Hurdling-debutants Sageburg County and Doyen For Money may provide the chief threat.
