Wizard Of Odds²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: Philip Byrnes| T: W Durkan| C

5/1

Promising type. Fairly useful winner at 7f on Flat. First run since leaving Stephen Thorne when landing 10-runner juvenile hurdle at Cork (15.5f, good to soft, 6/1) on NH debut 20 days ago. Seems sure to do better.

Form: 1

Antoine De Paris¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Simon Torrens| T: N C Kelly

100/1

A fair 10f Flat winner but only tenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 15 days ago. Still commands respect on his hurdling bow.

Form:

Mange Tout¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

8/15

A half-sister to Grade 1 winning hurdler/chaser Impaire Et Passe who made a winning start in a juvenile hurdle at Compiegne on debut by 15 lengths in May. Interesting prospect for top yard.

Form: 1

Sopelana^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-11| J: Jordan Gainford| T: C Collins

18/1

Got off the mark over hurdles at Ballinrobe in September. Tongue strap on and not disgraced when seventh on Flat at Bellewstown (12.4f, heavy) 30 days ago. Considered.

Forecasts

Mange Tout (8/15), Bibe Mus (10/3), Wizard Of Odds (5/1), Sopelana (18/1), Brother Hollie (33/1), Antoine De Paris (100/1)

Gordon Elliott's new recruit MANGE TOUT ran out a wide-margin winner on her sole hurdles start at Compiegne in May and this half-sister to the Grade 1 hurdles winner Impaire Et Passe is hard to side against. Cork victor Wizard of Odds appeals as the one to chase her home ahead of Bibe Mus and Sopelana.
