All One Word¹⁰⁰⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

12/1

€40,000 3-y-o, £30,000 4-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winning hurdler/fairly useful chaser Montgomery. Placed in an Irish point in April 2023 so he's no forlorn hope.

Form: 3/

Bargain Hunter²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Nick Slatter⁽³⁾| T: D J Jeffreys

200/1

Has beaten just one rival in a pair of bumpers at Market Rasen and Aintree this winter. Needs a major step forward now going over hurdles.

Form: P3-57

Corsican Caper³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Lee Edwards| T: K Frost| D

125/1

Modest and largely reliable 2m Flat winner. Not discounted now starting out in this sphere.

Form:

Jet Steel^h⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Tim Vaughan

33/1

Stepped up on his debut bumper fourth when third of 7 in similar company at Plumpton (17.8f, soft) 54 days ago. This son of Jet Away is much respected on his hurdles debut.

Form: 2-43

Jonzac⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Reed| T: P Morris

100/1

Well held in valuable bumper for Willie Mullins in April 2024. Successful on last of 4 starts in Irish points since (Nov 16).

Form: 0/U3-31

Kingdom Of Stars¹¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: Kerry Lee| D

10/1

A fair 2m Flat winner for Tom Ward who signed off with a good second at Southwell (16.5f) in October. Changed hands for 32,000 gns since so he's a considered newcomer to this sphere.

Form:

Lancier Des Obeaux²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: K Brogan| T: L Horsfall

150/1

Last of 6 in bumper at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft, 50/1) on NH debut 29 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with lots more required.

Form: 6

Tales Of Bravery^h,t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton

2/1

Much improved from his debut when (hooded/tongue tied) third of 11 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 36 days ago. May do better still so not dismissed for top yard.

Form: 1-63

Tony Joe³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis| D

12/1

Hexham bumper winner but he came in a well-held third of 6 in novice at Fakenham (20f, soft, 11/4) on his hurdles bow 34 days ago, finishing tired. Back down in trip and worth another chance.

Form: 3-143

Up To Trix⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: R T Dunne| T: O Murphy

16/5

Runner-up in an Irish point and shaped with some promise when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) on NH debut 46 days ago. Can build on it.

Form: 42-4

Yourcardismarked⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Hogan| T: Tim Vaughan

200/1

Eleventh of 12 in bumper (33/1) at Warwick (16f, soft) on NH debut 44 days ago. More is needed from this Harzand gelding on his first go over hurdles.

Form: 0

Halftheworldaway²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

7/1

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and she came in a promising third of 14 in novice at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) on her hurdles bow 29 days ago. Seems sure to improve for that initial experience so she's a player.

Form: 2-43

Roses All The Way^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

5/2

Fairly useful bumper performer. Promising hurdling debut third at Sedgefield but (tongue tied/after wind op) just sixth of 9 in listed hurdle at Haydock (18.9f) 35 days ago. Could bounce back in these calmer waters.

Form: 2230-36

Seekingrainbows

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead

500/1

Recharge mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Look For Love, stayed 2¾m, and fair hurdler Lookforarainbow. Dam of little account on Flat. The market can guide.

Form:

Forecasts

Tales Of Bravery (2/1), Roses All The Way (5/2), Up To Trix (16/5), Halftheworldaway (7/1), Kingdom Of Stars (10/1), All One Word (12/1), Tony Joe (12/1), Jet Steel (33/1), Jonzac (100/1), Corsican Caper (125/1), Lancier Des Obeaux (150/1), Yourcardismarked (200/1), Bargain Hunter (200/1), Seekingrainbows (500/1)

HALFTHEWORLDAWAY shaped well when third on her recent hurdles debut at Wetherby and this Jet Away filly can build on it now to get off the mark. Roses All The Way found a Haydock listed event too taxing last time but could still emerge as the main danger in this less exacting company, while others to consider in this open maiden include Up To Trix, Tony Joe, Tales of Bravery and Kingdom of Stars.
