2/1
Irish bumper winner who made an impressive start to hurdling at this course in March. Bled at Newcastle next time but worth a chance to get back to winning ways after 5 months off.

Ocovango gelding who showed plenty in bumpers and made a winning start to hurdling despite racing freely in a 9-runner novice at Kelso a month ago. Should go well under a penalty.

8/1
Fair maiden handicapper on Flat for Keith Dalgleish and ran to a similar level in getting off the mark immediately switched to hurdles at Perth in August. Poor effort at Hexham 3 weeks later but remains with potential.

Showed modest form in 2 maidens on the Flat for A. Slattery and ran to a similar level sent hurdling in a tongue strap after 13 months off when third in 7-runner maiden at Perth. Disappointed at Market Rasen next time and has plenty to find.

Revived by application of blinkers when landing back-to-back handicaps at Ayr this summer but lost his form and has shaped like a non-stayer on both hurdling outings to date.

Modest on Flat and has been out of form in that sphere, so doesn't make much appeal switched to hurdling.

Modest winner on the Flat but hard to imagine he'll make a serious impact on this first go over hurdles.

Modest maiden on Flat and didn't offer much encouragement in novice at Kelso on hurdling debut. Up against it again.

Half-brother to winning hurdler/useful chaser Arvico Bleu and showed ability amidst inexperience when third in a novice at Uttoxeter a month ago. Should do better.

Gentlewave gelding who shaped encouragingly on first 2 starts in bumpers. Disappointed at Perth 6 months ago but should take to hurdling.

Related to winners and clear signs of ability in bumpers. Likely to have an educational introduction to hurdling, however.

Just modest form in bumpers for Phillip Makin so up against it on hurdle debut for new yard.

Forecasts

Slugger (11/8), Quaresome (2/1), The Kalooki Kid (9/2), Belle Of Annandale (8/1), Moarins Moarnin (14/1), Kells (33/1), Gainsbourg (40/1), Conquer The Breeze (80/1), Miss Arabella (80/1), Woogrey (100/1), Golden Valour (125/1), Mekbat (300/1)

Verdict

QUARESOME's last effort is best excused and he'd looked highly promising prior to that, so he's well worth another chance. Slugger looks a threat on the back of a comfortable winning start over hurdles and Belle of Annandale isn't one to write off.
