Getaway Glory³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Billy Garritty| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

11/4

Winning Irish pointer with a good pedigree and showed much more than on hurdles debut when sixth at Doncaster 39 days ago. Capable of better, so merits consideration.

Form: 1-96

Graze On Phoenix²⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: J & S Quinn

15/2

Related to two winners and better than the result on both starts in bumpers. Should take to this discipline, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 46-

Hollington²⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr William Easterby⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby

14/1

Some promise in bumpers but made little impact in a trio of Irish maiden hurdles for Stuart Crawford in early 2022. Has won twice in points since then, including on most recent outing in April, but is probably more one for handicaps.

Form: 8P31F1-

Langton Wold⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Coltherd| T: B Ellison| OR: 105

18/5

Fair Flat winner who has performed to a similar level when runner-up on both hurdling starts to date. Boasts solid claims.

Form: 22

Lario⁵⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed| T: Anthony Charlton

4/1

Fair on Flat in Germany for C. von der Recke in 2022, won 11f maiden final start. Gelded and moved yards since and has lengthy absence to overcome on first try at hurdling.

Lawmans Blis^t1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J Candlish

18/1

Modest Flat winner who, having left Alex French, had a considerate start to hurdling when sixth in a novice at Doncaster. Looks more of a handicap type.

Form: 6

Notimeforanother²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

13/2

Runner-up on the first of 2 bumper starts and has shown fairly useful form on the Flat subsequently, winning twice at up to 14.1f earlier in the year. Jumped poorly on hurdling debut at Wetherby last month, however.

Form: 27-3

Ridin Solo⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

15/2

€10,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3¾m) Federici out of 2m-23f hurdle winner Vado Via. Won sole start in Irish points (Oct 8). Makes plenty of appeal on Rules bow.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Getaway Glory (11/4), Langton Wold (18/5), Lario (4/1), Notimeforanother (13/2), Ridin Solo (15/2), Graze On Phoenix (15/2), Hollington (14/1), Nedzor (14/1), Lawmans Blis (18/1)

RIDIN SOLO was successful on his only try in points and has subsequently joined one of the top Northern stables, so he's worth taking a chance on for all that Langton Wold sets a reasonable standard. Getaway Glory is also worthy of consideration.
