Off time: 18:36 | Winning time: 3m 47.89s

Ice In The Veins²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

4/11

Confirmed debut promise when landing 9-runner bumper (5/6) at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 22 days ago, hard held. Switches to hurdles now and holds obvious claims.

Form: 2-1

Jefe Triunfo¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Freddie Gordon⁽³⁾| T: C Gordon| D

20/1

Won on Worcester bumper debut in May 2023 but not been near that form since returning from absence this year, including on hurdles debut here a fortnight ago.

Form: 1/97-5

Lewis Barnes^h1¹⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| BF

200/1

Modest winner on flat for Stuart Williams. Not seen for 6 months and will need to find improvement on hurdles debut for new yard. Hooded for first time.

Form:

Maitre De Perles⁶⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

28/1

Modest maiden on the Flat who was let down by his jumping on hurdles bow for new yard at Stratford 22 months ago. Likely best watched on first start since.

Form: F/

Megascope¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber| T: Sheila Lewis

250/1

Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle back in spring 2023 and no signs of improvement on return at Worcester 12 days ago.

Form: 77/6

Belcamo^h¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 101

7/1

From the family of fairly useful hurdler Hawkhill and scored on the Flat at Goodwood 12 months ago. Not built on promising first start over hurdles in 2 outings since but hood (used successfully on level) is now applied so warrants respect.

Form: 247-

One Cool Dreamer¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

9/2

Fairly useful Flat winner who has acquitted himself well in a trio of starts on level this year. In good hands and has to be of interest on hurdles debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Ice In The Veins (4/11), One Cool Dreamer (9/2), Belcamo (7/1), Moves Like Mason (14/1), Jefe Triunfo (20/1), Maitre De Perles (28/1), Lewis Barnes (200/1), Megascope (250/1)

ICE IN THE VEINS won a bumper in impressive fashion last month and looks the type to progress over timber. He can land the spoils. Fellow hurdles debutant One Cool Dreamer rates the principal danger, whilst Belcamo is respected most of those with experience in this sphere.
