2/5

Won his only start in points and looked an exciting prospect when making a successful start to hurdling career in C&D novice at earlier this month. Can maintain his unbeaten record.

15/2

Useful on Flat and impressive when off the mark at the first attempt in this sphere in novice at Lingfield a month ago. Plenty more to come, so deserves respect.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: David Bass| T: H Morrison| D

5/1

Fairly useful form shown when landing bumpers at Taunton and Fontwell in the spring and bolted up on hurdling debut at Kempton despite pulling hard last month. Open to significant improvement and looks a player.

Form: 11-1

Jaitroplaclasse²⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Max Kendrick| T: N J Henderson

50/1

Third in maiden bumper at Moulins (2¼ lengths behind Jardin d'Arthel) in 2021/22 but somewhat disappointing on sole start since at Kempton 9 months ago. Up against it on hurdling bow.

Form: 3/9-

Officer Of State⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore

9/1

Useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 39/10, won 10-runner minor event at Fontainebleau (14.9f, good to soft) 77 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Andre Fabre. Can't be ruled out for all that his lack of experience might hold him back.

JERIKO DU REPONET has a big reputation and hardly came off the bridle when scoring here on hurdling debut, so he's very much the one to beat for all that Paradias and Secret Squirrel also have plenty of potential.
