Off time: 18:41 | Winning time: 3m 56.91s

Anzac Day²⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

10/1

A fairly useful Flat winner for Andrew Balding but off since coming in last at Ffos Las (1¾m) 8 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his hurdling/yard debut.

Form:

Eustace Grenier²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan| T: O Murphy

13/2

Promising third of 8 in novice at Perth (2m, good) on his hurdles bow 28 days ago. This fair bumper performer seems sure to progress.

Hopjes^t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: H Dickin

200/1

Poor Flat maiden who has offered little in this sphere, blinkered when eleventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Hereford (2m) 36 days ago.

Form: 74/UP0-

L'amalric⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

10/3

Failed to complete in points but shaped encouragingly when third of 7 in bumper at Southwell in March. Much respected now going hurdling.

Form: FP/FP3-

Teletime²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland

80/1

50/1, tenth of 12 in novice at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) on hurdles bow 28 days ago. A lot more is required.

Form: 60-

Premier Tenor^h1,t1²²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

5/4

Landed 16-runner minor event on sole start on the Flat in France in November. Bred to make a hurdler and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant for top stable.

Form:

Shamsat¹¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: James Owen

10/3

A fair Flat winner (stays 1½m) in France. Purchased for €26,000 and made an encouraging start switched to timber when third of 9 in juvenile at Catterick (2m, soft) in January. Can build on that so rates a player.

Form: 3-

Jacquette⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: Mrs D O'Neill

200/1

Little promise in a pair of bumpers and she came in last of 7 in novice at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) on hurdles bow 85 days ago.

Form: 607-

No Risk Today^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Hogan| T: F O'Brien

20/1

Fetched £100,000 after winning an Irish point. Well held first 2 runs but better signs when sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Warwick (2m) 18 days ago. May do better still.

Form: 1/50-6

Thatsnotmyname³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Dan Horsford

66/1

Sent off 9/2 but only tenth of 14 in bumper at Ludlow on her debut 30 days ago. Makes hurdles debut now and this Dartmouth mare is clearly thought capable of better.

Form: 0-

Forecasts

Premier Tenor (5/4), L'amalric (10/3), Shamsat (10/3), Eustace Grenier (13/2), Anzac Day (10/1), No Risk Today (20/1), Thatsnotmyname (66/1), Teletime (80/1), Jacquette (200/1), Hopjes (200/1)

The market should reveal plenty here but the vote goes to PREMIER TENOR who scored on the Flat in France on his sole outing to date and now starts out hurdling for the powerful Dan Skelton team. Shamsat shaped well on his hurdling bow when third at Catterick and is next on the list ahead of the Olly Murphy-trained duo L'Amalric and Eustace Grenier.
