Talented hurdler/chaser who wasn't quite on his game on his final two outings last season. Needs a big effort returning from 8 months off.
|
Promising type who readily landed odds in 2 novice hurdles. Saw race out very well considering he raced freely in front when third of 19 to West Cork in Greatwood at Cheltenham but seemed amiss next time and not seen for a year.
|
Bumper winner and continued the good work when comfortably off the mark in a novice hurdle at Ascot last season. Returned from a year-long absence with a solid showing there recently, so respected.
|
Free-going front runner who faced a stiff task when last of 4 to Goshen in Coral Hurdle at Ascot (19.3f, good) 38 days ago. This is a bit easier.
|
Has shown useful form over hurdles in France, winning newcomers race at Pau (17.4) and listed event at Auteuil. Seemed to need his reappearance at Haydock and tongue strap goes back on now.
|
Gained first win in handicap company in 4-runner event at Ludlow (2m) 12 months ago but rather gone backwards since and is best watched on debut for new yard here. Hood back on.
|
Fairly useful form when winning twice in 2020/21 but he was pulled up returning from a long absence at Huntingdon 23 days ago, so left with something to prove.
|
Getaway gelding from good jumping family. Improved with each outing in bumpers and has made a positive start over hurdles. Has the potential for more improvement now handicapping, so merits consideration.
|
Dual soft-ground bumper winner at the start of 2021 and made an impressive transition to hurdling when scoring at Bangor later that year. That form worked out, but he didn't help his rider off the bridle when third in introductory event at Wetherby on his return 45 days ago.
|
Fairly useful hurdler who opened his chase account in a 3-runner Fontwell novice last autumn. Has held his form over hurdles this season but others look better handicapped.
|
Much improved from hurdling debut when winning 14-runner juvenile at Auteuil (17.4f) in April. Bit too free on both starts for current yard but could do better in a well-run handicap.
|
Winning chaser in France who made a successful British debut back over hurdles in Stratford maiden (16.3f). Backed it up with very good third of 19 in 2m Cheltenham handicap so he's a player here.
|
Likeable and consistent sort in the main who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh at Ascot 39 days ago. Dropped 3 lb since and can't be discounted.
|
Confirmed previous encouragement when landing a 10-runner handicap at Huntingdon recently and, while this is a much stronger race, he merits consideration.

No Ordinary Joe (10/3), Master Dancer (7/2), Big Boy Bobby (11/2), L'eau Du Sud (17/2), Kandoo Kid (9/1), Alien Storm (10/1), Faivoir (14/1), Fruit N Nut (14/1), Lively Citizen (16/1), Swaffham Bulbeck (22/1), For Pleasure (22/1), Invincible Nao (28/1), Paros (33/1), Raya Time (66/1), Privatory (66/1)
A wide-open event in which there is reason to think MASTER DANCER could resume winning ways having shaped well under a positive ride at Cheltenham last time. Unexposed types Kandoo Kid and Big Boy Bobby are potential threats, although there are several for whom a case can be made.
- Kandoo Kid9/1
- Big Boy Bobby11/2
