Off time: 16:00 | Winning time: 3m 49.4s

Captain Attridge³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 105| BF| D

9/4

Came good on 2m Hereford handicap debut in May and better form when runner-up there 17 days later. Should be competitive under a penalty back in a novice.

Form: 0/365-12

Vocito^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 106| CD

8/11

In good form for new yard, finishing second in a Perth maiden before going one better in a similar race over C&D 4 weeks later. Another bold show is on the cards.

Form: 7P25-21

Selectivelistening⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Fergus Gillard| T: T Ellis

28/1

Well held on his completed starts in points and similar story in 2 C&D maiden hurdles last month. Looks more one for handicaps.

Form: 5P7-P75

Sixfiveseven²²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Reed| T: R G HawkerWS

50/1

Fairly useful form when placed in maidens around 1¼m on Flat in France for Tim Donworth but tailed off when falling at the last on Fontwell hurdle debut in November for Syd Hosie. Has had wind surgery ahead of this return for a new stable. Check the betting.

Form: F-

Jazzmina Queen³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

66/1

From top yard but no show in bumper/novice hurdle.

Form: 7-P

Vertical^h1²⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: James Best| T: Mrs S J Humphrey

125/1

Poor maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Dr Jon Scargill. A watching brief is advised on hurdle debut for new yard with a first-time hood added.

Form:

Dawn Parade¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton

125/1

Well held in a Huntingdon bumper in May and sent off at 80/1 when unseating at the first on her hurdle debut 17 days ago.

Form: 7U

Jo's Rainbow³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Liam Harrison| T: D Skelton

22/1

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Karl Burke. Joined another leading stable for her hurdle career but shaped like a non-stayer on her first attempt at Hereford.

Form: 0

Molly Mischief⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

20/1

Progressive in AW Flat handicaps this year, winning convincingly over 11f at Southwell in April. Possible testing ground was against her when pulled up on Southwell hurdle debut in May and could prove a different proposition now.

Form: P

Moonscape Girl⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: K Brogan| T: O Murphy| D

8/1

Left her first 2 efforts behind when springing an 80/1 surprise in Southwell bumper for Paul Webber in May. Has joined a good yard ahead of her hurdle debut and it'll be very interesting to see how she compares in the betting to new stablemate Vocito.

Form: 57-1

Forecasts

Vocito (8/11), Captain Attridge (9/4), Moonscape Girl (8/1), Molly Mischief (20/1), Spitfire Bridge (20/1), Jo's Rainbow (22/1), Selectivelistening (28/1), Sixfiveseven (50/1), Brief Encounter (50/1), Jazzmina Queen (66/1), Vertical (125/1), Dawn Parade (125/1)

Olly Murphy holds a very strong hand here, with the Sean Bowen-ridden VOCITO preferred to his new stablemate and hurdle-debutante Moonscape Girl before any betting clues are known. Captain Attridge looks best of the rest.
