Form:

Gozo^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse

11/10

Fairly useful maiden handicapper on Flat, stays 1¼m, again below form last time. Possesses the raw ability to make a big impact in this race if taking to hurdling. Tongue tie on.

Form:

Logistical^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 83

4/1

Fair maiden on the Flat for Andrew Balding. Only modest form in his 3 juvenile hurdles for new connections but he can put his experience over obstacles to good use here.

Form: 534

Sir Raj⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| BF

10/3

Fair form on Flat, should stay 1¼m, below expectations last time. Has left Hugo Palmer but joined another good yard.

Form:

Feach Amach³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

17/2

Form:

Sundowner¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West

Form:

Trussst In Me¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

11/1

Down the field in varied events on Flat but wouldn't be the first runner from this yard to improve a lot for obstacles.

Form:

Forecasts

Gozo (11/10), Sir Raj (10/3), Logistical (4/1), Feach Amach (17/2), Trussst In Me (11/1), Sundowner (33/1), Biscoff Joe (40/1), Silk Sonic (66/1)

GOZO isn't bred for this sort of test now hurdling but he's very dangerous given his Flat form if seeing it out and taking to this discipline. Sir Raj is feared given his ability on the level, with Logistical's experience over timber likely to take him a fair way against this opposition.
