Cristal D'estruval²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

1/14

£400,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who looked an exciting prospect when winning 2m Warwick maiden hurdle last month. Will be hard to beat.

Form: 1-1

Another High Five⁴³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

14/1

Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Didn't achieve much when a well-held fifth on Kelso hurdle debut in October but he's the type to do better before long.

Form: 2/5-

Ayyadieh²⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

8/1

Placed on the first of 2 outings in Irish points. One to note in the betting now hurdling but he'll likely need to be very useful to lower the colours of Cristal d'Estruval.

Form: 39-

Beans On Toast⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Dylan Johnston| T: Mrs J Stephen

28/1

Placed all 3 completed starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (October 11). Makes hurdle debut for new connections. Check the betting.

Form: 32-FP2

Je Mr Dawson¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies

50/1

Has hinted at ability in a bumper and novice hurdle 9 months apart but he's probably more one for handicaps down the line.

Form: 6-7

Matching Energy¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: D Bourke

8/1

Impressive winner of sole point bumper in April and followed up in a Hexham bumper on Rules debut in June. Should be up to making an impact in novice hurdles.

Form: 1-1

Road To Rosley⁵⁹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr John Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Dixon| OR: 79

150/1

Placed on second of 2 starts in bumpers but has yet to show much over hurdles, pulling up last twice. Outsider.

Form: 6655PP/

Takeyoutotheisland³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander

40/1

From a good jumping family but he offered only minor promise when just under 20 lengths fifth of 9 in Ayr bumper on debut 32 days ago.

Form: 5

Moonlight Trail²⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Robson

150/1

50/1, offered little when sixth of 7 on Hexham bumper debut in March. Switches to hurdles back from 8 months off.

Form: 6-

Forecasts

Cristal D'estruval (1/14), Ayyadieh (8/1), Matching Energy (8/1), Another High Five (14/1), Beans On Toast (28/1), Takeyoutotheisland (40/1), Je Mr Dawson (50/1), Road To Rosley (150/1), Moonlight Trail (150/1)

CRISTAL D'ESTRUVAL created a good impression on his Warwick hurdle debut and looks more than capable of defying a penalty. Hexham bumper scorer Matching Energy gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of Donald McCain point recruit Ayyadieh.
