Go West²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

6/4

Bumper winner in March 2023. Shaped as if retaining most of that ability when fifth in 20.5f Plumpton maiden hurdle on return from absence 3 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for that.

Form: 22210/5

It's A Mystery²⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis

18/1

Third sole start in points in May but the form doesn't look anything special. The betting should help guide to expectations on hurdle debut.

Form: 3

Killomeroe²⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: C Fryer

200/1

Placed in points but didn't show much in 2 maiden hurdles over the summer (C&D second occasion). Big outsider.

Form: 3343-P9

One Million Dreams²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 102

15/2

Modest form, beaten19 lengths when third in 2m Huntingdon maiden 29 days ago. Up in trip. Likely vulnerable for win purposes again.

Form: 93

Minimoonbeam

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: James Owen

7/1

Pether's Moon filly. Dam (h95), maiden hurdler, sister to ungenuine Big Rob and Legal Glory (both fair hurdlers/fairly useful chasers). Newcomer from an excellent yard. Interesting to see what the betting makes of her.

Form:

Miss Cynthia⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham

11/8

Useful performer on Flat (stays 17f) for Sir Mark Prescott. Bought for 100,000 gns in October. Found a very winnable race on hurdle debut.

Forecasts

Miss Cynthia (11/8), Go West (6/4), Minimoonbeam (7/1), One Million Dreams (15/2), It's A Mystery (18/1), Killomeroe (200/1)

If MISS CYNTHIA can translate anything like her Flat ability to hurdles at the first attempt she'll be a very tough nut to crack. Go West is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding James Owen newcomer Minimoonbeam.
