Off time: 13:15 | Winning time: 4m 36.97s

Asian Star¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 106

1/2

Promise in bumpers and left hurdling debut form well behind when winning 9-runner novice at Southwell (15.8f, good) 13 days ago, plenty in hand. Sure to go on to better things and looks up to defying a penalty.

Form: F5-331

Lord Of The Glance¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales

150/1

Needed experience in bumpers and hampered and unseated first on recent Fakenham hurdling.

Form: 06-U

The Long Point¹⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

9/4

£60,000 Kingston Hill gelding. Finished third sole start in Irish points and looks a good prospect when justifying support in 8-runner bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f) in May. Interesting hurdling debutant.

Form: 3-1

Tony's Tipple¹⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: T Ellis

66/1

Golden Lariat gelding. Dam tailed off in 2 bumpers. Makes very little appeal on paper.

Form: P9

Bredon Hill³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

12/1

Has shaped with some encouragement in a pair of bumpers/Uttoxeter novice hurdle (19.9f). May do better.

Form: 84-2

Earcomessue^t1¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: James Davies| T: P A Pritchard

250/1

Bit of promise in bumpers but has been pulled up both starts over hurdles back from a long absence.

Form: 7P35/PP

Red Panda^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon

25/1

Down the field in bumpers and, whilst she's offered a bit more both starts over hurdles, she looks one for handicaps after this run.

Form: 06-35

Forecasts

Asian Star (1/2), The Long Point (9/4), Bredon Hill (12/1), Red Panda (25/1), Tony's Tipple (66/1), Lord Of The Glance (150/1), Earcomessue (250/1)

ASIAN STAR was value for plenty extra over the result when scoring at Southwell 13 days and looks up to defying a penalty on that evidence. The Long Point created a good impression in his sole bumper and is an obvious threat on this switch to hurdling.
