Driver's Pick^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

40/1

Fairly useful on Flat in France (stays 1½m) for Andre Fabre. However, last of 4 on Flat for new yard following a year off and no impact in a pair of novice hurdles this autumn, latest at Musselburgh after a wind op. Hard to warm to.

Form: 59

Glenmuick¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon

150/1

No impact in a bumper and pair of novice hurdles at Warwick and Huntingdon this winter. Hard to make a case for.

11/10

Posted a fairly useful effort when bagging Wexford bumper in October on his final run for John Nallen. Since changed hands for £80,000 and he's an interesting hurdling newcomer for his new handler.

Form: 321

Mooserwirt²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: R T Dunne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

125/1

Successful on sole outing in Points but well held in a pair of novice hurdles at Newcastle and Bangor last month. Probably one for handicaps later on.

Form: 1-60

Pertemps⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

5/2

Son Of Milan showed promise when twice third in bumpers but he came in last of 6 in novice at Aintree (20f, good, 9/1) on his hurdles bow 41 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Remains with potential.

Form: 33-6

Stay Hopeful²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver

80/1

Got off mark in Irish points at fourth attempt (April 2025) but well beaten in a 2m Bangor novice on hurdle debut 20 days ago. Needs to take a major step forward.

Form: 5531-8

Tales Of Bravery^h1,t1⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Skelton

10/1

6/1, sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) on NH debut 44 days ago, not knocked about. Hooded/tongue tied now and this Irish points winner could still do better.

Form: 1-6

Thereyare²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

80/1

Runner-up sole start in Irish points but one for the longer term under Rules based on his 2 novice hurdle outings this autumn.

Form: 2-87

Timmys Jet Away^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

18/1

Point winner. Had wind surgery (also tongue tied) before coming in a well-held fifth of 8 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. Needs to build on it.

Form: 15

Titanium Ring⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Stan Sheppard| T: H D Daly

7/2

Shaped well when second of 11 in bumper at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft, 5/1) on NH debut 42 days ago, clear of rest. Makes hurdles debut now and needs considering.

Form: 2

Fine As Wine²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer

40/1

Finished in the frame on all 4 starts in Irish points earlier in career but a well-held sixth in 2m4f Bangor novice on rather belated hurdle debut 20 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Minella Jury (11/10), Pertemps (5/2), Titanium Ring (7/2), Stung By Tariffs (8/1), Dartmouth Castle (8/1), Tales Of Bravery (10/1), Timmys Jet Away (18/1), Fine As Wine (40/1), Driver's Pick (40/1), Thereyare (80/1), Stay Hopeful (80/1), Painted Wolf (100/1), Mooserwirt (125/1), Glenmuick (150/1)

This can go the way of MINELLA JURY who built on earlier promise for John Nallen when landing a Wexford bumper and can now make a winning start for new connections staring out in this sphere. Pertemps could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, building on his Aintree debut. Stung By Tariffs and Titanium Ring appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
