Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland

18/1

Fair winner on the Flat at 1m for Ralph Beckett in the spring, but failed to progress from hurdling debut when well-beaten fourth of 5 in juvenile at this C&D (good) 3 weeks ago. May just be one for further down the line.

Form: 44

Forever Penywern^h1⁵⁹

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

10/3

Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) From Frost. Fairly useful on Flat (stays 11f) for William Haggas, making it back-to-back wins in sellers when landing the odds at Chelmsford (10f) in September. Major contender with hood applied for hurdling bow.

Form:

Ice Jet^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton

28/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) in Ireland. After 4 months off, showed aptitude on hurdling debut in October, but was never involved when ninth of 14 in juvenile maiden at Warwick 12 days ago. Needs another run for a handicap mark.

Form: 79

Khalk'eau Spigao

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Freddie Gordon⁽³⁾| T: C Gordon

7/4

Khalkevi gelding. Dam made frame both starts over fences in France. Market could be informative with yard capable of readying one on hurdling debut.

Form:

Nelson Gate^p1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore

11/2

Half-brother to fair hurdler Dumb Love (17f winner). Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1½m), runner-up twice in handicaps this year and was in a better race than he need contest when sixth of 10 at Kempton last time. Merits consideration in cheekpieces for hurdling debut.

Form:

One Island¹⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Freddie Gingell| T: P F Nicholls

11/4

Second foal. Dam 1¼m winner in France. Ran to a fair level on the Flat in France when winning 13-runner newcomers race at Le Mans (11.4f, good) in May for Ludovic Gadbin. One to note having joined leading yard ahead of hurdling debut.

Form:

Westlain^h1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Williams| T: Jack Jones

66/1

Fair maiden on the Flat (should stay beyond 1½m), but offered little sent hurdling when eleventh of 14 in juvenile maiden at Warwick 12 days ago. Hood now reached for.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Khalk'eau Spigao (7/4), One Island (11/4), Forever Penywern (10/3), Nelson Gate (11/2), Exactly Right (18/1), Ice Jet (28/1), Westlain (66/1)

The pick of these on the Flat, FOREVER PENYWERN arrives having won his last 2 starts on the level and is taken to provide his trainer with back-to-back wins in this race. A pair of fellow hurdling debutants make up the shortlist, with One Island feared most having won his sole outing on the Flat in France, ahead of Nelson Gate.
