Monbeg Genius^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 132| CD

10/11

Point winner who tasted success twice in maiden/novice hurdles last term (at up to 23.6f). Doubled his tally over fences over C&D last time and is open to further improvement, so could take the beating.

Form: 431-411

Ree Okka^p1,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: H Fry| OR: 130| BF| C| D

10/3

Irish point winner who landed 2 novice hurdles at up to 24.5f last winter. Shaping up well over fences this season, so capable of making his presence felt in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 117-252

Surrey Quest^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 126| BF

11/2

Looked a good prospect over hurdles (won first 2 starts) and shaped encouragingly sent chasing after 8 months off when third at Uttoxeter. Disappointed at Newbury next time but can't be written off.

Form: 11P7-34

Raddon Top^p²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 122| D

7/1

Landed hat-trick of handicap hurdles at Chepstow last term and built on promising chasing debut when landing an 8-runner event at Exeter last time, forging clear. Looks set for another bold showing.

Form: 32-2331

Stormy Flight^p⁸⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 114WS

20/1

Winless last term and out of sorts so far in this campaign. Returns from a break/wind op.

Form: 325-094

Forecasts

Monbeg Genius (10/11), Super Survivor (3/1), Ree Okka (10/3), Surrey Quest (11/2), Raddon Top (7/1), Stormy Flight (20/1)

MONBEG GENIUS arrives firmly on the up and takes preference over Super Survivor and Raddon Top who, like the selection, both scored cosily last time out. Ree Okka is another one worth considering.
