30/100

Made a winning debut in a Galway bumper last October. Hasn't looked a natural in the jumping department in 2 maiden hurdles for Jamie Snowden but it didn't prevent him winning at Exeter (17f, good to soft) last month and has the ability to rate higher. Significantly up in trip. The one to beat.

12/1

Promise on bumper debut last March but beaten a long way in another bumper and a maiden hurdle since. Early days but can only watch here.

4/1

£62,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the third attempt (Nov 2025). Well held in a bumper but offered more when 17 lengths second on 2¾m Fontwell hurdle debut 7 weeks ago. The obvious danger to Our Guide.

14/1

Third completed start in points. Showed ability at the second time of asking over hurdles when 21¾ lengths fourth in 19f Chepstow maiden 23 days ago. The longer trip now should suit.

Form: P3704-

Forecasts

Our Guide (30/100), Ka Mate Du Brivet (4/1), Granite Sands (12/1), Shuil Rocco (14/1), Tiger Tobin (100/1), At Sunrise (125/1), Savon (150/1)

Although OUR GUIDE has looked ponderous with his jumping this essentially looks a good chance for him to defy a penalty. Ka Mate du Brivet is the one likely to give Jamie Snowden's charge most to think about.
