Horse A-Z
Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1m, well held in handicap last time. Tongue tie replaces cheekpieces for hurdles debut having had a breathing op.

9/2
Fair maiden on the Flat, fifth of 6 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 36 days ago. In very good hands now switched to obstacles but isn't a certain stayer (dam won over 5f).

Dam half-sister to fairly useful 21f hurdle winner Post War. Temperamental/fair handicapper on Flat, stays 8.5f, ran poorly last time. Sold from George Boughey 13,000 gns and joined another good yard, but wouldn't be certain to take to this code. Has had a breathing op.

10/3
Fairly useful on Flat (stays 8.5f) winning twice over 7f at Newcastle. Below form last time but has the raw ability to be a big factor if stamina holds out now hurdling.

Modest form on Flat, temperamental effort when last seen in October. Needs to leave that level well behind now tackling obstacles fitted with a hood.

Half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Stylish Dancer. Dam, half-sister to useful hurdler (2m/17f winner) Knight Salute (by Sir Percy): Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1½m, again down the field in handicap last time. Represents yard with superb record in this sphere.

Closely related to bumper winner King of Unicorns, and half-sister to smart hurdler Aqalim (2m-3m winner). Modest form on Flat, stays 1½m, offered little in handicap on stable debut last time.

Forecasts

Strike Alliance (5/2), Two Past Eight (3/1), Lord Sam's Castle (10/3), Devil's Kingdom (9/2), Majestic Jameela (6/1), Hadley Park (13/2), Logistical (12/1), Angel's Voice (12/1), Sunrise Boy (16/1)

Verdict

An early-season juvenile with stamina probably not at a premium, so it may pay to side with LORD SAM'S CASTLE, who was the pick of these on the level. Alan King has very few peers in these races so Two Past Eight demands respect, along with Strike Alliance.
