Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: R Potter
€36,000 3-y-o, Beaumec De Houelle gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Inside Man and French hurdler Great Escape. Wears tongue strap. Third both starts in Irish points so he's a considered hurdling newcomer.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton
Winning pointer/bumper who has shown promise on both his starts in this sphere, 14¾ lengths sixth of 7 in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft) in December. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Capable of better and not taken lightly back in these calmer waters.

Timeform
Modest form in a pair of bumpers, fifth of 6 at Hereford (16.2f, good to firm) 10 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his hurdles debut.
|
Timeform
A useful 1m4f winner on Flat in France in 2024 for Andre Fabre. Changed hands for 28,000 gns and very much one to consider on his yard/hurdling bow.

Timeform
Built on debut bumper eighth when third of 13 in novice at Ludlow (21.2f, soft, 150/1) on his hurdles bow 22 days ago. Needs a lot more here.
|
Timeform
Point winner but he's shown little in a pair of 2m5f Ludlow maiden hurdles, only ninth of 13 on latter occasion 22 days ago. Big step forward is needed.

Solid Performer35
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR:  109
Winner sole start in points and he has made an encouraging start over hurdles, still looking green when third of 11 in 2m4f Ayr maiden last month. Capable of better and well in the mix.

Timeform
€10,000 3-y-o. Closely related to fairly useful hurdlers Oneofthesenights (stayed 2¾m) and Operation Overlord (stayed 2½m). Successful sole outing in points in December and must enter calculations now starting out in this sphere.

Forecasts

Big Cadillac (7/4), Guet Apens (3/1), Solid Performer (4/1), The Dog Thief (5/1), Argento Royale (7/1), Gimarias (25/1), La Vish (50/1), Shuile Warrior (150/1)

Verdict

Dan Skelton's BIG CADILLAC has gone with some promise on both his runs over hurdles and can add to his earlier points/bumper successes now his sights are lowered considerably here. Solid Performer has the form to play a big part and rates a big threat though, while hurdling debutants The Dog Thief and Guet Apens need considering too, especially if the market vibes are positive.
