2/7
Looked highly promising in bumpers and impressively made it 2-2 in this sphere in 2m1f Ainteree novice 57 days ago. Open to more improvement. Major claims despite conceding weight all round.

Off the mark in Irish points and showed fair form when second of 11 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (16.2f) 52 days ago. Has undergone breathing surgery since and tongue strap is fitted now so he may do better still. Considered.

12/1
Fairly useful 10f winner on the Flat in France in 2021. 9/4, showed promise when fading fifth of 12 in juvenile at Doncaster on yard/NH debut 11 months ago. Returns after a wind op (tongue strap also on) and no surprise to see him take a big step forward.

7/2
Useful Flat winner for Roger Varian who made a promising start hurdling when second at Huntingdon (2m) in December. Only seventh at Kempton last time and has since had a breathing operation. Also tongue tied. Not written off.

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 11 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Doncaster (20.8f) 19 days ago. Back down in trip with lots to find on form.

9/1, much better effort over hurdles when clear second of 9 in novice at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 20 days ago, though no match for winner. Needs to take another step forward.

MIlan mare. Dam, unreliable 19f-23f chase winner, is closely related to fairly useful winning hurdler Aquila Oculus and fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Piercing Sun. Market can prove a good guide.

Point winner but she hasn't made much of an impact in 4 starts under Rules, ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at Haydock (15.6f) 30 days ago.

Well held in bumper/pair of maiden hurdles. In good hands but lots more is required.

80/1
Fairly useful at her best on Flat but she's yet to show that form in three runs over hurdles, though not knocked about when sixth of 17 in novice at Wetherby (16f) 33 days ago. Sort to do better once handicapping.

Forecasts

Strong Leader (2/7), Father Of Jazz (7/2), Beraz (12/1), Ballabawn (18/1), Mammies Boy (18/1), Rainbow Jet (80/1), Maid Of The Night (125/1), Kash Tara (200/1), My Portia (200/1), Aurelia Fadilla (250/1)

Verdict

STRONG LEADER has created an excellent impression in bumpers and over hurdles thus far so is strongly fancied to retain his unbeaten record in this sphere despite having to concede upwards of 12 lb all round. Dan Skelton's Father of Jazz and Beraz, who both bring potential and return on the back of breathing surgery, appeal as the duo to chase home Olly Murphy's exciting son of Passing Glance in that order.

  1. Strong Leader2/7
  2. Father Of Jazz7/2
  3. Beraz12/1
