8/11
Built on encouraging C&D debut second when going one better at Sandown (2m, heavy) 8 weeks later. More to come and leading claims.

10/3
Fair form when in the frame in 3 bumpers and made a successful start to his hurdle career in a similar race at Ludlow (2m, heavy) 25 days ago, beating the reopposing Speiriuil by 8 lengths. Likely capable of better.

Manatee gelding. Half-brother to French 1¼m/10.5f winner A Special Line. Dam 7f winner in Germany. Would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour.

Fair form in bumpers ahead of this switch to hurdles. Could play a part if taking to this new discipline.

Forecasts

Castelfort (8/11), Hill Spirit (10/3), Dodger Long (4/1), Push To Pass (6/1), Speiriuil (14/1), Pooch (16/1), Alain (28/1)

Verdict

This might develop into a straight fight between previous winners CASTELFORT and Hill Spirit, with the former narrowly preferred. Gary Moore newcomer Alain would come into it if the betting suggests he's fancied.
