Selected odds by:

Coeur Tantre^t⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: David Noonan| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 124

7/1

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles in August and ran well off this mark when third of 13 at Fontwell last time. Makes his debut over fences and is a threat to all if able to translate his hurdling ability to the larger obstacles.

Form: 80-11P3

Drumcliff^t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: N P Madden| T: H Fry| OR: 123| D

10/3

Failed to win in seven starts over hurdles, but often looked as though he had a decent race in him. Switches to fences for an in-form yard and is very much one to consider.

Form: 6225B-0

Saffron Wells¹⁶²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 122| BF

7/2

Plenty of fair form over hurdles and fences when trained by Neil King. Has switched stables and any improvement would see him in the shake-up.

Form: 52U1-34

Action Replay³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 120| BF

8/1

Showed promise in five starts over hurdles without getting his head in front. Top trainer wastes no time in switching him to fences and bold show on chasing debut is on the cards.

Form: 5642-5

I See You Well¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: J E Moore| T: J W Mullins| OR: 124| D

9/2

Only a four-year-old but has already had two races over fences and was not disgraced in a decent contest at Ascot last time. Down 2lb and not without a chance.

Form: 024-155

Hurry Henry^t²⁶⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 116| D

66/1

Winning hurdler in Ireland who then had two low-key starts for Brian Barr before switching to current trainer. Not without ability, but others are more convincing.

Form: 5/34P44-

Dreamcatching¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 122| C

10/3

Won three novices hurdles last season and top trainer has switched him to fences over which he gets a generous weight allowance. Made mistakes on chasing debut at Ludlow and can do much better if jumping more proficiently.

Form: 1011-75

Forecasts

Drumcliff (10/3), Dreamcatching (10/3), Saffron Wells (7/2), I See You Well (9/2), Coeur Tantre (7/1), Action Replay (8/1), Hurry Henry (66/1)

I See You Well and Dreamcatching enter calculations in receipt of their weight-for-age allowances and Saffron Wells might improve for a change of scenery. Howver, this could be dominated by the chasing debutants Coeur Tantre, Action Replay and DRUMCLIFF, with the latter getting the vote. He looked a talented horse over hurdles, but became frustrating and perhaps the switch to fences will be the making of him.
