66/1

Showed some ability when fifth in a Huntingdon bumper on debut last January. However, has offered little in 2 starts switched to hurdles this season and now upped in trip in a first-time hood.

Form: 5-P9

Oak Creek⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Sutton⁽⁷⁾| T: T R George

4/5

Placed both completed starts in Irish points and shaped well when fourth of 11 starting out under Rules in a 20.8f Doncaster maiden hurdle last month. Big player with this step up in trip likely to help unlock improvement.

Form: P23-4

Prince De Juilley⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| D

22/1

Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and shaped better than the bare result when well held on Market Rasen hurdle debut. However, pulled up at Doncaster since and he's hard to warm to on the back of that display.

Form: 41-5P

Great Snow²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110

11/10

Promise in bumpers and placed in mares' novice hurdles here and at Wincanton (both at around 21f). Moving up in trip looks a good move and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 6-632

Forecasts

Oak Creek (4/5), Great Snow (11/10), Chilinlikeavillain (11/10), Prince De Juilley (22/1), Emotional Memories (66/1), Max The Misfit (200/1)

OAK CREEK gets the nod on the back of a promising hurdles debut effort at Doncaster where he shaped as though this stiffer test would be right up his street. The mare Great Snow also shapes as though she could have more to offer now moving up in trip and is feared most ahead of Chilinlikeavillain.
