Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: F P Murtagh

28/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 10.5f) but a well-held last of 7 on his Hamilton handicap debut last month. Probably best watched now hurdling.

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies

33/1

Modest AW winner on the Flat. Might have stamina limitations over hurdles judged on the way he weakened quickly from the home turn over C&D on his first attempt 19 days ago.

Form: 7

I'm Too Tired⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| BF

9/2

Fair maiden at up to 1¼m on the Flat for the Charlton stable. One to note in the betting now hurdling.

Form:

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

15/2

Offered little in a Uttoxeter juvenile hurdle on debut 12 weeks ago, making several bad mistakes in rear. Needs a big turnaround with cheekpieces added.

Form: P

Makanao^b,t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

5/2

Fair on Flat (stays 12.5f) in France. 4/1, 2 lengths second on Fontwell hurdle debut 16 days ago, although he merely closed up late having been a remote second 2 out. The cheekpieces he wore on that occasion are now replaced by first-time blinkers.

Form: 2

Pete The Brief^t³²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby

18/1

Only a modest 1m winner on the Flat but is a half-brother to a fairly useful hurdle winner so possible he'll fare better now hurdling.

Form:

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd

66/1

Poor maiden on Flat so doesn't strike as an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles.

Form:

Swiss Money^t1⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: M F Harris| BF

11/8

Fairly useful dual winner on the Flat for Yann Barberot in France. Only fifth when sent off 13/8 favourite for his Stratford hurdle debut in July but evidently thought capable of better by a stable which does well in these events. Could leave that bare form behind now tongue tied after a break.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Swiss Money (11/8), Makanao (5/2), I'm Too Tired (9/2), Lahire (15/2), Pete The Brief (18/1), Best Guess (28/1), Child Of Lir (33/1), Red Shield (66/1)

Milton Harris is seeking a hat-trick of wins in this race and SWISS MONEY is selected to leave the form of his hurdle debut in July behind with a tongue tie added back from a 3-month break. Fontwell runner-up Makanao is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Jennie Candlish hurdle newcomer I'm Too Tired.
