Beckett Rock³⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead

6/1

10/1, won 15-runner novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut, easily. Off 13 months but represents leading yard and there should be plenty more to come.

Best Years Yet^h1⁵⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: M Brassil| OR: 143

Fairly useful on the Flat and over hurdles. Won 17-runner juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft, 65/10). Off 18 months. First run for yard after leaving A. Chaille-Chaille. Wears hood.

Form: 32/1-

Colonel Mustard¹⁷

6/4

Smart hurdler. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, 1¾ lengths third of 5 to Lucky Place in Howden Ascot Hurdle at Ascot (19.3f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Regular in better company than this and he's a big player on the figures.

Form: 5253-23

Kitzbuhel²³⁸

3/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 69/10, second of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving D. Sourdeau De Beauregard. Should have plenty more to offer having transferred to Willie Mullins.

40/1

Won 7-runner novice hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to soft, 40/1) on NH debut 25 days ago, staying on well. Drop in trip far from certain to suit and this is a tough ask.

Form: F/72-1

3/1

Fairly useful Flat winner. Promising type. 1¾ lengths second of 16 to Casa No Mento in listed hurdle at this course (16.4f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 7 months. Isn't yet the finished article and there should be plenty more to come.

Forecasts

Colonel Mustard (6/4), Kitzbuhel (3/1), Got Glory (3/1), Beckett Rock (6/1), Jigoro (8/1), Meet And Greet (16/1), But What (16/1), Best Years Yet (20/1), Rockymountainbleu (40/1), On The Steel (150/1)

COLONEL MUSTARD has just the one hurdles win to his name but he's a regular in good company and down in class, he can finally double his tally. Willie Mullins pair Kitzbuhel and Got Glory may give the selection most to think about.
