2/1

Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) in Ireland. Sold out of Stephen O'Donoghue's stable for 60,000 in October. Had wind surgery ahead of hurdles debut and promising start when third amidst inexperience at Ludlow last month. Fared as well as could be expected in Grade 2 company latest.

Form: 6

Chaos Control³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

6/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who made winning debut for current yard at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in November and nearly followed up on hurdling bow when 1½ lengths second of 9 to Samuel Spade at Kempton. Needs to cast aside a lesser effort at Huntingdon.

5/2

Sold out of George Boughey's yard for 50,000 gns in August and would have made a winning hurdles debut had he applied himself fully in November. Again found wanting for application under pressure when second switched to a handicap 12 days ago.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| BF

10/3

Fairly useful form on Flat (stays 1¾m), won maiden in August before mid-field in 2 useful handicaps. Sold from Roger Varian £70,000 in October and joined another top stable. Has to be of interest.

Form:

Our Scholar¹³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Fergus Gregory| T: Jack Jones

28/1

Dam sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Praxiteles. Fair on Flat, stays 1¾m, quickly back to form last time. Sold from John Patrick Murtagh 21,000 gns later in October.

Form:

Sanitiser^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Watson

12/1

Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Paul & Oliver Cole. Shaped as if in need of the experience sent hurdling when a well-held third at Musselburgh last month. Bit more like it at Doncaster but could be a handicap project. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 35

Sous Surveillance¹³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

250/1

Poor maiden on the Flat for Alan King, so makes little appeal now going hurdling.

Forecasts

Active Duty (2/1), Charles St (5/2), Open Champion (10/3), Chaos Control (6/1), Sanitiser (12/1), Zain Farhh (16/1), Our Scholar (28/1), Benjamin Bear (33/1), Make A Prophet (150/1), Sous Surveillance (250/1)

OPEN CHAMPION displayed plenty of ability in a quintet of Flat runs for Roger Varian and, having joined another excellent yard, he's sure to be well prepared for this. With stamina no concern, he can make a winning hurdles debut, probably at the chief expense of Active Duty and Charles St.
