40/1

Fair bumper performer for Harry Whittington who shaped as if needing the run when pulled up on yard/hurdle debut at Wincanton in October. Tongue tied discarded and probably one for later on.

Form: 724-P

10/1

22/1, hinted at promise when eighth of 17 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) on NH debut 47 days ago. Makes hurdles debut up in trip and needs considering.

Form: 8

Hazy Glen³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M & D Easterby

3/1

Made a pleasing start when landing Carlisle bumper before posting a solid sixth of 12 in listed bumper at Cheltenham 39 days ago. In the picture now starting out in this sphere with this longer trip a likely plus.

Form: 16

New Order⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon

4/7

Got off the mark in Irish points at second attempt and posted a promising second of 10 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) on NH debut 44 days ago. Difficult to oppose.

Form: 31-2

Sea Grey^p1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| BF

8/1

Fairly useful performer on Flat, making the frame 3 times for David O'Meara this year. Shaped well when second of 9 in novice hurdle (11/8) at Doncaster (16.6f, good) on NH debut 26 days ago. Can build on it. In the picture.

Forecasts

New Order (4/7), Hazy Glen (3/1), Stay If U Want To (7/2), Sea Grey (8/1), Don Occhetti (10/1), Ballyvango (14/1), Nothinelsematters (16/1), Champetre (40/1), Ask My Heather (100/1)

NEW ORDER made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up in a Lingfield novice and this winning Irish pointer can go one better now with improvement very much in the pipeline. Doncaster second Sea Grey appeals as the one to chase home Charlie Longsdon's son of Yeats, although newcomers Stay If U Want To and Hazy Glen could also have a say, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
