Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Reed| T: S Hosie| OR: 68

80/1

Modest maiden at best on Flat and yet to offer much in three runs in this sphere. Others appeal more.

Form: 457

Royal Deeside⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: A King| BF

4/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat who made the frame in all 4 starts in 2023. 13/8, only sixth of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Warwick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 43 days ago so needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 6

Through The Ages⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore

6/4

Fair maiden on the Flat for Charlie Appleby at the start of 2023. 5/1, encouraging third of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 45 days ago. Can build on it.

Form: 3

All Blues⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: David Noonan| T: T R Gretton

50/1

Modest form on Flat in Ireland and beaten a long way in a couple of juvenile hurdles at Ludlow this autumn. Up against it again.

Form: 85

Gusty

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G Brown

33/1

Gustav Klimt filly. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 1¾m). Market can guide for this debutante.

Form:

Therapist⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

5/4

A fairly useful 10f winner on Flat for Andrew Balding. Changed hands for 50,000 gns in October and she's an interesting newcomer to hurdling for top yard.

Forecasts

Therapist (5/4), Through The Ages (6/4), Torneo (7/2), Royal Deeside (4/1), Gusty (33/1), All Blues (50/1), Biscoff Joe (80/1)

Jamie Snowden's ex-French Flat winner TORNEO shaped well on his yard/hurdling debut when runner-up at Catterick and with improvement very much on the cards he can go one better. Nicky Henderson's Therapist also has some fairly useful Flat form to her name and rates the obvious threat. Through The Ages appeals as the pick of the remainder.
