Rubaud¹⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 147| CD

9/4

Made up into a smart hurdler last term, taking this on his return and a Grade 2 at Wincanton in November. Reliable too so he's a player once more on his seasonal reappearance.

Form: 112456-

Authorized Art⁸¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 143| D

28/1

A smart chaser for Willie Mullins who posted a good third in big-field handicap chase at Punchestown (20.4f) in July. Has since changed hands and can't be ruled out back hurdling for his new yard.

Form: 6/24P3-0

First Street^t¹⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 140| CD

7/1

A four-time hurdles winner but he failed to match that form sent chasing in the spring, coming in last of five at Bangor (3m) in May. Reverts to this sphere after a break and possibilites with tongue strap back on.

Form: 2330-45

Glory And Fortune^h,t⁵⁸³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 136| D

33/1

Bagged Betfair Hurdle in 2022 but ended 2022/23 well below par, only 20th in County Hurdle at Chettenham. Back from 19 months off here and others are preferred.

Form: 44U300/

Kihavah^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: A Keatley| OR: 129| BF| D

7/2

Likeable and versatile sort who posted a very good second in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen in July. A fine second in the Ebor at York before landing 13f Ayr handicap on Flat since. Must enter calculations back in this sphere.

Form: FP34/1-2

Parramount^p1¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 124| D

50/1

A fairly useful winning hurdler who comes here in good form from the Flat, third in handicap at Kempton (11f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces added. This is no easy ask though.

Form: 110/PP0-

Casa No Mento¹⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 135| D

7/4

Took her form up a level when going 4-5 over hurdles in 2m listed hurdle at Punchestown in May. Yard is among the winners so she's not taken lightly after a break.

Form: 0/11211-

Carrigeen Kampala^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 125| D

18/1

Scored at Newton Abbot in June and tongue tied when an improved second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 28 days ago. This demands a clear personal best, though.

Form: 1-71FF2

Forecasts

Casa No Mento (7/4), Rubaud (9/4), Kihavah (7/2), First Street (7/1), Carrigeen Kampala (18/1), Authorized Art (28/1), Glory And Fortune (33/1), Parramount (50/1)

A few with chances but Paul Nicholls' consistent RUBAUD captured this prize 12 months ago and is fancied to repeat the feat. Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in great nick so his Casa No Mento rates the chief threat after a break, with Kihavah and First Street both in the mix reverted to this sphere.
