Moment Of Light^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

4/6

Fairly useful on the Flat for James Owen and landed short odds on Newton Abbot hurdle debut for Dan Skelton 19 days ago. Did it readily and should prove hard to beat again.

Vietnorm²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-8| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 108| BF| CD

9/2

Decisively completed a cross-code hat-trick when successful on C&D hurdle debut in June. Second at Uttoxeter on next hurdle start before running out in freakish fashion at Cartmel since. Remains open to progress.

Form: 12R

Blue To Blue²³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson

9/1

Fairly useful on the Flat but largely disappointing since a promising second at Haydock in the spring. Needs a return to hurdling to spark him back to life.

Form:

Lynxman²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby

250/1

Limited on the Flat and remote fifth on hurdle debut. Outsider.

Form: 5

Pass The Buck^p⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham

10/3

Ended his time on the Flat with Joseph O'Brien with a wide-margin win in Fairyhouse claimer (1¼m, good) in July. A likely type for juvenile hurdles.

Form:

Steel Fixer^t⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: B Ellison

50/1

Modest form at up to 1½m on the Flat. Well-held last of 4 on completed start over hurdles. Outsider.

Form: P4

Two Steppin

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Callum Pritchard| T: B J Murphy

125/1

Poet's Word filly. Dam (h100), runner-up only start over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdle/very smart chase winner up to 2½m Western Warhorse. Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Moment Of Light (4/6), Pass The Buck (10/3), Vietnorm (9/2), Blue To Blue (9/1), Steel Fixer (50/1), Two Steppin (125/1), Lynxman (250/1)

MOMENT OF LIGHT could be a very useful early-season juvenile and can make it 2-2, perhaps at the expense of Fairyhouse Flat winner Pass The Buck, who's stable has done well with similar types from Ireland.
