Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 103| CD

2/1

Overcame inexperience to make a winning hurdles debut over C&D in June. Fair effort when third at Wetherby (2m) in October but found the step up to listed company beyond him back at that venue 5 weeks ago. This less demanding in a first-time hood at least.

Form: 1F35

Narragansett²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland

11/2

Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland (stays 1¼m), successful on final start for A. Slattery at the Curragh (10f) in September. Below best faced with more testing conditions at Nottingham 4 weeks ago but worthy of note if strong in betting now attentions switch to timber.

Ramaah^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring| T: S-J Davies

100/1

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), successful at Chelmsford (13.3f) in August. Raced freely and weakened out of things starting out for new yard when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Looks best watched.

Form: 4

Viyanni^t1¹⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

5/6

Fair form on Flat, improved when scoring on handicap debut at Bellewstown (14.5f, good) in July. Has since left John Patrick Murtagh and gelded and must be considered on hurdles bow having joined a top yard. Tongue tie applied.

Form:

Little Lady Lucy⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: K Brogan| T: N P Mulholland

16/1

Fair on Flat (should stay at least 11f), successful penultimate start but below form on final start for Joseph O'Brien at Gowran (11.8f) 45 days ago. Market can guide now hurdling with her yard also saddling Narragansett.

Forecasts

Viyanni (5/6), Play Pretend (2/1), Narragansett (11/2), Little Lady Lucy (16/1), Ramaah (100/1)

VIYANNI signed off for Johnny Murtagh with a career-best display at Bellewstown in July and, now sent hurdling, he's fancied to make an immediate impact for his new yard before the benefit of market clues. C&D winner Play Pretend has the benefit of plenty of experience in this sphere and is feared ahead of Little Lady Lucy.
