5/2
Fair hurdler who has finished in the money on each of his 5 start in this sphere at up to 19f. Doesn't look especially progressive but should have a big part to play if coping with this step up in trip.

9/2
Bettered maiden/novice form when hitting the crossbar on recent handicap debut second at Kelso (21f, good to soft). More needed in order to go one better here but should make his presence felt.

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France but hasn't shown much in a handful of maiden hurdles for present yard. Now tried in blinkers.

4/5
Third sole start between the flags and shaped well when fourth in a big-field Leopardstown maiden hurdle (2½m, soft) on Rules debut in December. Likely to benefit from this step up in trip and he's a strong contender.

22/1
Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdlers Poetic Rhythm and Forthefunofit. Runner-up on the second of his 2 starts between the flags but beaten 12 lengths by the winner and opposable on Rules debut.

Never in the hunt on Rules debut in an Ayr bumper last month and didn't fare any better starting out over hurdles for new yard at Perth.

Forecasts

Moon D'orange (4/5), Artiste D'ainay (5/2), Boomslang (9/2), Cuzco Du Mathan (16/1), Poetry Man (22/1), Bannockburn (125/1), Bay West (150/1)

Verdict

This is likely to boil down to a straight fight between Irish raiders MOON D'ORANGE and Artiste d'Ainay. The latter hasn't done much wrong since switched to hurdles and ought to pick up a race at some point, but he doesn't appear to be progressing and Moon d'Orange is preferred having shaped with promise on his Rules debut at Leopardstown. Boomslang could be in line for minor place money.

  1. Moon D'orange4/5
  2. Artiste D'ainay5/2
  3. Boomslang9/2
