16/5

£50,000 Irish point recruit who made a successful start to his hurdle career in 2½m Carlisle maiden in November. Took keen hold and beaten early in Cheltenham Grade 2 next time. This is easier back in trip.

Lawrenny³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| C

2/1

Progressive in bumpers, opening his account here (16.9f, heavy) in March, staying on to lead post. Showed the benefit of his initial experience over hurdles when landing a 2m novice at Wetherby 32 days ago and open to further improvement.

Form: 421-51

18/1

Fairly useful on the Flat in France and made a winning start to hurdling for Francois Nicolle at Cholet in October. Not at same level both starts for current yard, albeit not unduly punished when a modest third at Market Rasen on most recent outing.

66/1

Irish point winner who went backwards from hurdling bow when finishing only 11 in novice hurdle at this course (16.9f, good to soft, 9/1) 45 days ago, possibly amiss. Up in trip.

Form: 55/51-58

Jupiter Des Mottes³⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

7/2

€48,000 3-y-o, Castle Du Berlais gelding who overcame inexperience when winning 13-runner bumper at Wetherby (16f, heavy) on debut in March, kept up to work under mainly hand riding. Has since left Nicky Richards and rates a good hurdle prospect with the step up in trip likely to suit.

33/1

Little promise in a bumper/pair of hurdle starts so far.

Form: 9-66

Pulse Of Camelot¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: David Bass| T: M Comley

150/1

Made frame in points and shaped with a fair amount of promise when third of 13 in 21f Clonmel hunter on Rules debut last January. However, he was well beaten on hurdles/yard debut when making his seasonal reappearance at Bangor and again went with no promise at Wincanton 12 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 733P-97

Young Getaway⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 110

5/2

Built on the promise shown in a couple of bumpers last season when third of 7 on 2m Ayr hurdle debut in October. Confirmed he has a fair level of ability when 10 lengths third at Kelso (2m again) since and this longer trip could bring about improvement. Player.

Form: 55-33

Forecasts

Mr Escobar (11/10), Lawrenny (2/1), Young Getaway (5/2), Smokeringinthedark (3/1), Aboutdamntime (16/5), Jupiter Des Mottes (7/2), Monaco Rules (18/1), Keepkalmandkarryon (33/1), Gone With The Tide (66/1), Bogleyburn (100/1), Pulse Of Camelot (150/1), Dartie Bay (250/1), Dartmhor (250/1), Frontier Force (250/1), Atlantic Alfie (250/1)

LAWRENNY showed the benefit of his initial experience when landing a Wetherby novice last month and, with further improvement in the pipeline now stepping back up in trip, he's taken to defy a penalty. Young Getaway and Jupiter des Mottes are a couple of the others who deserve respect.
