13/8
Bumper winner who created a good impression in making a successful start over hurdles in a first-time tongue strap at this course. Creditable third under a penalty at Uttoxeter 23 days ago and he could resume winning ways in a weak race.

5/1
Fair handicapper on the Flat who went backwards from a mildly promising hurdling debut when sixth in a novice at Worcester four months ago. May yet do better in this sphere.

Well held in novice/maiden hurdles and looks firmly up against it again.

5/4
Point winner who has developed into a fair chaser after a quiet start over hurdles, winning at Plumpton recently. Strong claims if he can replicate that form back in this sphere.

14/1
Fair Flat winner. 10/3, last of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, good to soft) 28 days ago, possibly amiss. Hard to make a strong case for on hurdling bow.

18/1
Showed something more like his bumper debut form at the second time of asking over hurdles when runner-up at Worcester (2m) last week. Goes up in trip now with plenty more needed.

Forecasts

Post No Bills (5/4), Jeudidee (13/8), Amalfi Bay (5/1), Ancient Capital (14/1), Go On Ya Goodthing (18/1), Bowmans Dream (200/1), Getaway Tothe Wood (200/1)

Verdict

JEUDIDEE has the best hurdling form and is fancied to enhance a good strike rate at the likely expense of Post No Bills, who is a big player based on chasing form. Amalfi Bay is the pick of the rest.

  1. Jeudidee13/8
  2. Post No Bills5/4
  3. Amalfi Bay5/1
