Blazing Saint

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

150/1

Can You Hear Me²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White

16/1

Lightly-raced sort who still looked inexperienced when a good second of 6 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, good) 29 days ago. Very much one to consider.

Form: 64-F2

Catchintsavo^t1⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball

5/1

Fairly useful form shown when placed in a trio of bumpers but he came in only tenth of 13 in novice at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft, 11/2) on hurdles bow 46 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Should still have more to offer.

Crystal Force²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Bryan| T: T H Weston

250/1

10/1, last of 4 in bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 25 days ago. More is needed on his hurdles debut stepped up in trip.

Form: 4-4

Jukebox King^t1³²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: K Bailey & M NichollsWS

7/2

€34,000 3-y-o, £55,000 5-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Has had wind op and wears tongue strap. Won sole start in Irish points in January so needs considering on his hurdling bow.

Form: 1-

King Sacre²³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: N J Hawke

150/1

Twice-raced maiden who went freely when sixth of 9 in bumper over C&D (good to soft) 7 months ago. Needs to settle better now going hurdling.

Form: 46-

Laguna Beach³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

11/2

Off 6 months before making a promising start when third of 7 in novice at Sandown (16f, good, 9/4) on hurdles bow 31 days ago, fading late on. Should strip sharper now and this son of Blue Bresil is a likely player.

Form: 5-3

Loaded And Locked²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: Miss E C Lavelle

5/6

£80,000 Irish point winner who also bagged a bumper at Worcester in October. Posted an encouraging fourth of 13 in novice at Warwick (16f, good to soft, 6/1) on hurdles bow 20 days ago so he's very much one to consider.

Form: F/21-14

Lovis De Sceaux³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies

400/1

Runner-up in a bumper but yet to match that sent hurdling, only fifth of 8 in novice over C&D 37 days ago. Lots more is required.

Form: 82-6U5

Passing Diamond¹⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland

22/1

Fair form shown when in the frame in a pair of bumpers for David O'Brien in early summer. One to consider for his new yard starting out in this sphere.

Form: U121-43

At Sunrise^h1¹⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: D Weston

300/1

Well held in a pair of bumpers, only seventh of 9 at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 6 months ago. Much more is needed on her hurdles debut with a hood added.

Form: 9-7

Forecasts

Loaded And Locked (5/6), Jukebox King (7/2), Catchintsavo (5/1), Laguna Beach (11/2), Can You Hear Me (16/1), Passing Diamond (22/1), Otie's Friend (25/1), Manhattan Valley (100/1), King Sacre (150/1), Blazing Saint (150/1), Crystal Force (250/1), At Sunrise (300/1), Lovis De Sceaux (400/1)

LAGUNA BEACH shaped well after a six-month absence on his first go in this sphere when third at Sandown and can take a step forward here to get off the mark. Points/bumper scorer Loaded And Locked also has better days ahead of him and rates a big danger to Nicky Henderson's son of Blue Bresil, while Can Your Hear Me, Catchintsavo and Jukebox King can all have a say too in this intriguing maiden hurdle.
