Showed a bit on his Flat debut in September and made a successful start over hurdles in a Ballinrobe maiden 13 days later (for Joseph O'Brien). Open to improvement for a new trainer who has quickly made a name for himself.
|
Very useful recruit from Flat (won Royal Ascot handicap in June) who easily landed a Huntingdon juvenile on his recent hurdle debut, despite a hard-pulling display in a first-time hood (retained). Sure to improve, particularly if the likely stronger pace in this better race helps him to relax.
|
Fair handicapper on Flat. Lost his way a little in that sphere this summer but revitalised by a switch to hurdles when seeing off 10 rivals at Sedgefield last month. This a good deal tougher, though.
|
Fairly useful Flat on the Flat in France for Tim Donworth. That level of ability suggests he can make an impact in juvenile hurdles but very much pitched in at the deep end on first attempt.
|
Useful on Flat (stays 1½m) for Andrew Balding. New connections picked up for 50,000 gns in July. Interesting recruit to hurdles but watching brief the percentage call making his debut at this level of competition.
|
Unable to win on Flat but been a different story over hurdles, scoring for third time from 5 outings when taking 12-runner juvenile at Kempton (2m, good) 27 days ago, finding extra. Will need more again but he might find it.
|
Fairly useful winner multiple Flat winner who was a smooth winner on his Wetherby hurdle debut last month. Definitely more to come from him.
|
Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Galahad Quest (17f-2½m winner) and bumper winner Iliade Allen. This newcomer is bred for the job but he'll need to be really smart to make a winning debut at this level.
|
Has shown useful form when placed in listed and Grade 2 events at Auteuil this autumn. Sets a good standard for the rest to aim at.
|
Won hurdle at Clarefontaine on final start in France in July but finished well beaten on UK/yard debut on Flat at Lingfield last month and is likely best watched here.
|
Modest on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger and didn't achieve much when a remote fourth of 7 on his Chepstow hurdle debut 5 weeks ago. Outsider.

Forecasts
Milan Tino (6/4), Burdett Road (9/4), Gifted Angel (5/1), An Bradan Feasa (8/1), I Still Have Faith (18/1), Knight Of Allen (22/1), Eagle Prince (33/1), Ellerton (33/1), Galactic Jack (40/1), Seraphic (100/1), Parish Star (300/1)
MILAN TINO sets a solid standard on his efforts in good company at Auteuil in recent months and gets the vote. Recent Huntingdon winner Burdett Road could be really smart in this sphere and is second choice ahead of I Still Have Faith and the likeable Gifted Angel.
- Milan Tino6/4
