Exactly Right⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland

25/1

A fairly useful 1m Flat winner for Ralph Beckett in the spring. One to consider starting out in this sphere after a break.

Galactique⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore

15/2

Last of 7 in maiden at Goodwood (14f) on his sole Flat run in June. Goes hurdling now and may still do better.

Form:

Genbu³³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss E C Lavelle

11/2

A 7f fair maiden at his best on the level. Shaped well when third of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good, 40/1) on NH debut 33 days ago. Can do better so needs considering.

Form: 3

Lord⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

4/9

Reached the frame in 2 Flat outings in Germany and made a promising start for new yard when second of 5 in juvenile at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 40 days ago. The one to beat.

Form: 2

Majestic Leo⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: R P McLernon| T: G Brown

20/1

A fair 14f maiden for Ralph Beckett on the Flat. Can't be discounted on his stable/hurdling bow here after a break.

Form:

Risk^v⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: Tom Dascombe

50/1

Modest maiden on the Flat. Visored and looked none too easy a ride before unseating second in juvenile (33/1) at Stratford (16.3f, good) on NH debut 47 days ago.

Form: U

Van Aert^b²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Watson

14/1

A fair 12f Flat winner but only sixth of 7 in 2m handicap at Lingfield 27 days ago. Still respected starting out in this sphere.

Form:

Thomasine⁴⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: G & J Moore

50/1

Last of 6 in 7f maiden in Germany 13 months ago. Goes hurdling for new handler after a long absence now.

Non-Runners

Bouboule¹⁹

Weight: 11-2| Age: 3

T: Harry Derham J: Paul O'Brien

Forecasts

Lord (4/9), Bouboule (4/1), Genbu (11/2), Galactique (15/2), Van Aert (14/1), Majestic Leo (20/1), Exactly Right (25/1), Thomasine (50/1), Risk (50/1)

The market should reveal plenty but Olly Murphy's LORD shaped well on his hurdling bow when runner-up at Newton Abbot and can build on it and go one better here. Harry Derham's Bouboule has some fair Flat form to his name and could emerge as the pick of the six hurdling newcomers ahead of Exactly Right and Genbu.
