Bo Zenith²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 133

30/100

Winner of a newcomers' race on sole start in France last spring and duly left his odds-on Sandown failure well behind when scoring in pretty decisive fashion at Haydock (15.6f). Promises to be suited by this stiffer test and will prove hard to beat.

Form: 1-31

Bluegrass^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 110

7/2

Useful on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien (placed in the 2022 Dante) and, having changed hands for 50,000 gns, he has made the frame both starts since switched to hurdles, latterly second of 9 in a first-time tongue strap at Newbury (16.3f). Should make his presence felt.

Form: 42

J'adore Chas

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: Gerald Quinn

9/1

Elm Park gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Drowing and fair French hurdler Rhea Silva. Watch the betting for clues.

Form:

Nadim^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: M F Harris

80/1

Ex-German 10f winner on Flat and there were positives to glean from his hurdles debut at Taunton last month. However, he was well adrift of Bluegrass at Newbury next time and big step forward needed here.

Form: 75

State Legend²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

33/1

Fairly useful for James Ferguson on the Flat and showed more than he did first time out over hurdles when sixth in a 12-runner Lingfield novice (2m) last time. Still, it's likely that he will come into his own in this sphere when switched to handicaps.

Form: 76

Forecasts

Bo Zenith (30/100), Bluegrass (7/2), Cabrakan (8/1), J'adore Chas (9/1), State Legend (33/1), Nadim (80/1)

It's hard to look beyond BO ZENITH, who beat leading Triumph Hurdle candidate Blood Destiny on his sole start for David Cottin in France and he did the job well when scoring at the second attempt for previous connections at Haydock. With Cabrakan proving something of a disappointment last time, Bluegrass looks the way to go for forecast purposes.
