Baltic¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham

7/2

Regressive stayer on the Flat but showed aptitude when third of 11 in novice hurdle over this C&D (good, 28/1) on jumps debut 18 days ago.

Form: 3

Billy Butcher⁷⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: Dave Roberts

100/1

Modest at best in bumpers and showed only poor form in 2 hurdling starts in 2024. Easy to oppose after lengthy absence.

Form: 88764/

Bluey Bay¹⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: M Keighley

25/1

Modest fifth in 2 bumpers and well held on 2m Lingfield hurdle debut. Pulled up over 3m at Chepstow when last seen in March and looks easy to oppose again.

Form: 550P-

Emerald Tir⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: Ryan Hatch

12/1

£16,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding is out of a sister to high-class hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Menorah. Fared best of the newcomers when fourth in a 9-runner bumper here in June. Not discounted on hurdles debut.

Form: 4

Lock Stock²⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 116

10/11

Runner-up on 2 of 3 bumper starts last winter and filled the same position on his first 2 hurdle outings in the autumn. Found to have broken a blood vessel when disappointing at Kempton when last seen on Boxing Day, which is a concern for all he'd be a leading player on form. Has left Ben Pauling.

Form: 220/229-

Thepassingcyclone¹⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

80/1

Showed some ability amidst greenness when rallying for fifth in 10-runner bumper at Chepstow on debut in January. However, went backwards from that effort when tailed off at Exeter the following month and was soundly beaten when suffering a tack issue on hurdles bow at Fontwell in May.

Form: 56-U

Action Replay²⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: C E Longsdon

11/1

€55,000 3-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdlers Haveigotnewsforyou and Batwomen, stays 21f. Dam (c133/h115) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner. Behind when falling 4 out in an Irish point in February but worth a betting check given connections.

Form: F-

C'Est Pour Moi^p1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

150/1

Pour Moi gelding who looked a hard ride second time up in bumpers when sixth of 9 here in June and proved awkward again when last of 7 on hurdles bow at Perth 26 days ago. Cheekpieces go on.

Form: 967

Giant's Way^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

50/1

Had a breathing operation prior to debut (tongue tied) and failed to live up to expectations in a course bumper in June. Made some late headway on his second start over hurdles over this C&D 18 days ago but handicaps are likelier to be his thing.

Form: 596

Savanna Storm^h1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe

100/1

Settled better and showed a bit more than on bumper debut when third at Newton Abbot (17f, good to firm) in July but well beaten switched to hurdling over this C&D 18 days ago. Wears first-time hood.

Form: 748

Sytadel^t1⁴⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

3/1

Decisive winner of an 11-runner maiden at Le Lion-d'Angers (1½m, good to soft) on his second outing on the Flat for Xavier Blanchet last May. Has since joined leading connections and he's a very interesting recruit to hurdling now sporting a tongue strap.

Form:

Troy Story²²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts

100/1

Fair on the Flat for Alan King/Eve Johnson Houghton but left previous connections for just 5,000 gns and is probably opposable making hurdles debut after 7 months off.

Forecasts

Lock Stock (10/11), Sytadel (3/1), Baltic (7/2), Arbitration (7/2), Teleleo (7/1), Action Replay (11/1), Emerald Tir (12/1), Bluey Bay (25/1), Giant's Way (50/1), Thepassingcyclone (80/1), Billy Butcher (100/1), Savanna Storm (100/1), Troy Story (100/1), C'Est Pour Moi (150/1)

SYTADEL has been off since winning a French maiden last spring but could be worth chancing to make a winning hurdles debut for the powerful Skelton yard. Lock Stock would be a major player if back to the form of his first 2 hurdles starts, while Action Replay is worth a look starting out for Charlie Longsdon.
