Lord¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

4/7

Reached the frame in 2 Flat outings in Germany and made a promising start over hurdles for new yard, building on opening C&D second with a win at Fontwell. Obvious claims.

Form: 21

Mancero^t1⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

22/1

Tongue tied when making a winning debut in a claiming hurdle at Fontainebleau (15f, soft) in April. Nowhere near that level when 29 lengths second at Hexham for new yard in June and the tongue tie returns back from 3 months off.

Form: 1-2

Genbu¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss E C Lavelle

16/1

Best Flat form came over 7f but showed he possesses the stamina for hurdling when third at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July. Not in the same form when 15¼ lengths third of 8 to Lord at Fontwell (2¼m, good) 11 days ago but that longer trip might have just stretched him.

Form: 33

Manyana Blue¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 104| CD

7/2

Fair maiden on Flat who has taken well to hurdling, placing 3 times before making all over C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago. Finished 4 lengths behind Lord when the pair clashed over C&D in July, though.

Form: 3321

Pistrucci⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Greatrex

80/1

Modest maiden at up to 11.5f on the Flat for this yard. Hurdle debut.

Form:

Yellow Card²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen

6/1

Fairly useful winner at 1½m on the Flat for Ollie Sangster. Made a respectable start for new connections after a 40,000 gns sale when fourth of 5 at Salisbury (1¼m) last month. Interesting recruit to hurdles.

Form:

Forecasts

Lord (4/7), Manyana Blue (7/2), Yellow Card (6/1), Genbu (16/1), Mancero (22/1), Pistrucci (80/1)

LORD holds a couple of these on earlier form and is the percentage call, although a strong market move for Mickey Bowen hurdle newcomer Yellow Card, who reached a fairly useful level on the Flat, would put a slightly different slant on things.
