Off time: 13:05 | Winning time: 3m 54.62s

Parramount^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: B Roberts⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 115| BF

1/2

Bumper winner who confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut in good style in 16-runner novice at Hereford (16.2f) in November, quickening clear before home turn. Better than the bare result when runner-up on Taunton handicap debut subsequently, so obvious contender returning to novice company.

Form: 218/312

Benny Silver¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

50/1

Showed some promise in a pair of bumpers but well held both starts over hurdles.

Form: 2530

Burrows Hall²⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

28/1

Only modest in bumpers but is bred to make a jumper and was much improved from hurdling debut when second in a 12-runner novice at Hexham (16.2f) in April, running on. His future surely lies over further but still has each-way claims on return.

Form: 369-2

Can't Beat History¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver

66/1

Second when falling 2 out sole start in points and made an encouraging Rules debut when second of 14 in a Ballinrobe bumper in May. Sold out of Jonathan Sweeney's yard for £31,000 later that month but has made an unpromising start to his career over hurdles.

Form: F-279

Glory Bridge^t1⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| DWS

16/1

Pulled up in sole Irish point but overcame inexperience to make a successful debut under Rules in a Sedgefield bumper. Faded tamely to finish last of 6 on his Ayr hurdle debut/reappearance and again didn't really see his race out back at Sedgefield last time. Had breathing op (also togue tied).

Form: P/1-64

New Beginnings⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill

28/1

Didn't look the finished article but produced a fairly useful effort when winning his sole start in bumpers at Worcester in May. Weak in the betting and shaped as if needing the run when well held on hurdling debut there (20f) 6 months later.

Form: 18

Playtogetaway²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill

12/1

Every chance when fell 2 out on sole start in Irish points (Feb 27). Low-key start under Rules but much more like it when fourth at Haydock 4 weeks ago.

Form: F-694

Pride Of Hawridge³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds

12/1

Fair 10f Flat winner for Rod Millman this autumn. Changed hands for 17,000 gns but just minor promise in a couple of novice hurdles.

Form: 96

Straightupsnicket⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: S AllwoodWS

200/1

Runner-up on second of 2 starts in points but showed nothing in a Worcester maiden hurdle on Rules debut in October. Has had a breathing op since.

Form: 42-P

Vissani^t1⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

200/1

Flat winner in France but little to shout about for present yard, including over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Form: P0

We Gotta Getaway³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien

80/1

Fair form on the second of 2 starts in bumpers but looks to be being brought along with handicaps in mind over hurdles.

Form: 0-499

Queens Highway¹⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| BF

5/1

Dual bumper winner who is from a good jumping family, so must enter calculations on hurdling debut.

Form: 112

Rhyme Scheme^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: P Winks

250/1

Regressive on the Flat and showed nothing switched to hurdling at Catterick last month.

Form: P

Roccstar Bay^h³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Henderson

12/1

Shaped with promise when third in a Southwell bumper on debut but ran out on last month's hurdling debut at Wincanton.

Form: 3R

Forecasts

Parramount (1/2), Joe Dadancer (7/2), Father Of Jazz (7/2), Queens Highway (5/1), Arqoob (8/1), Pride Of Hawridge (12/1), Playtogetaway (12/1), Roccstar Bay (12/1), Dickens (14/1), Glory Bridge (16/1), Burrows Hall (28/1), New Beginnings (28/1), Benny Silver (50/1), Can't Beat History (66/1), We Gotta Getaway (80/1), Vissani (200/1), Straightupsnicket (200/1), Rhyme Scheme (250/1)

PARRAMOUNT scored in a good time at Hereford prior to shaping well for a long way on his handicap debut at Taunton, so he's fancied to defy a penalty back in novice company. Joe Dadancer took a step forward when fourth over C&D recently and is capable of progressing again, with useful Flat recruit Arqoob another to consider for a yard going better now than earlier in the season.
