15/2
Newton Abbot bumper winner in June but he came in a well-held seventh on his hurdling bow in 2m Newbury novice five months later. Since had a wind op so not written off.

Encouraging debut third of 13 in bumper at Perth (16.2f, soft, 3/1) 7 months ago. Much respected on his hurdles debut.
|
Timeform
Fair form shown when placed in bumpers at Worcester and Ludlow this autumn. One to consider stepping up in trip for his hurdling bow.

Timeform
Lightly-raced maiden who took a step forward when fourth of 5 in novice hurdle over C&D (good) 25 days ago. May do better still so one for the shortlist.

5/2
Points runner-up who easily landed 5-runner bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft, 9/4) 22 days ago. This son of Yeats must enter calculations now starting out in this sphere.

£1,600 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Dam fairly useful bumper/21f hurdle winner who became unreliable. The market can guide.

A three-time scorer on the Flat this summer but has made a low-key start over hurdles, seventh of 8 at Doncaster 17 days ago. Could be one for handicaps later on.

Forecasts

Court Canyon (15/8), William Yeats (5/2), Joeybottles (5/1), Alba Crus (15/2), Noonetellsmenothin (10/1), Western Mount (11/1), Queen Roslyn (22/1), Card Lady (28/1), Loulou Madrik (100/1), Lady Lucky (250/1)

Verdict

Gavin Cromwell's COURT CANYON possesses much the best form on offer so is fancied to follow up his cosy Clonmel success. Hurdling newcomers William Yeats and Noonetellsmenothin both bring potential to this sphere so could emerge as the main dangers.
