10/11

Yeats gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Tightenourbelts and bumper winner Dares To Dream. Maiden pointer who shaped with some promise in a maiden/novice hurdle earlier in the year and has sets the standard. Has had a breathing operation.

Cinnodin¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

4/1

Fairly useful 2m Flat winner for Richard Hughes who changed hands for 27,000 gns but has run a long way below that level both starts over hurdles, albeit not knocked about.

Form: 63

Queensland Boy³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams

17/2

A dual winner on the Flat this year (fair form) but offered little when pulled up on Ludlow hurdling debut back in February.

Form: P-

Tufton^t1¹³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley

3/1

Placed in a point bumper and shaped like a stayer when down the field in a bumper at Aintree (17f, good to firm) on debut in May, needing stiffer test. Step up in trip an obvious plus now switching to hurdling. Wears first-time tongue strap.

Form: 3-0

Unexpected Ask⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond

40/1

Offered little when pulled up in novice hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, heavy) on debut 88 days ago, dropping away before 3 out.

Form: P

Forecasts

Masked Man (5/6), At Mangan Bridge (10/11), Tufton (3/1), Cinnodin (4/1), Queensland Boy (17/2), Unexpected Ask (40/1)

MASKED MAN, a winner of his sole outing in points, is bred to make a useful jumper and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a successful Rules debut in a race lacking plenty of depth. At Mangan Bridge shaped with some promise on both his starts earlier in the year and is considered the main threat.
