Horse A-Z
Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) and is a half-brother to useful hurdler Pilansberg (2½m-2¾m winner) so shouldn't be totally ignored making hurdling debut after 7 months off.

6/1
Fair Flat winner who showed a bit on his only hurdling start back in December 2021. Creditable effort on the level a month ago and merits respect.

4/9
Ex-French bumper winner who has made a solid start to his hurdling career. Respectable third in a novice on final outing for Mel Rowley 52 days ago. Sets the standard and should take all the beating.

150/1
Little encouragement in Ireland and best watched on debut for a new yard.
|
Timeform
Dual bumper winner who was disappointing starting out over hurdles at Market Rasen 8 months ago. Not seen since but far too soon to write him off in this sphere, and market support would look significant.
|
Timeform
Has shown ability in bumpers but will probably need this initial experience of hurdling.

Placed in points but only seventh in novice at Bangor on hurdling debut. Looks more one for the longer term.

12/1
Fairly useful form on Flat in France, stays 1½m, runner-up in minor event last time: sold from X. Thomas-Demeaulte €41,000 in November. Worthy of interest if the market speaks in his favour.
|
Timeform
Related to winners but failed to beat a rival in a bumper at Warwick and will probably have a considerate introduction to hurdling.
|
Timeform
Underwent a breathing op after pulling up in a bumper and not enough encouragement over hurdles to make her of interest in this.

No promise in Hereford bumpers and down the field in a novice at Ludlow on hurdling debut. Others preferred.

Won 2 of her 5 starts on Flat for George Boughey (hooded). Too free on both hurdling outings for current yard and improvement is required.

Forecasts

Idealdes Villerets (4/9), Buxted Too (6/1), Tchoupinminzac (7/1), Tregele (10/1), Activist (12/1), Baileys Derbyday (28/1), Vision Of Hope (33/1), Solar System (80/1), Yes And Yes (100/1), Anne Bonny (125/1), Importateur (150/1), Autumn Blaze (200/1)

Verdict

IDEALDES VILLERETS has the best form on show and has joined a good stable since last seen, so he's the obvious choice. Tchoupinminzac is a danger based on bumper form and Buxted Too is worthy of interest if strong in the betting.
