Braid Blue¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R Johnson| T: G Elliott| C| D

1/1

Already a winner at the track, having taken a bumper here last August. Has shown ability in novice hurdles already and his 9l 5th to his useful stablemate Galvin at Ayr in February reads well. Ground no issue and a big player.

Form: 11556

Cons Amigo¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Cook| T: L Kerr

150/1

Showed little in a point-to-point and well beaten on only Rules start, that coming in a bumper at Ayr earlier in the month. Plenty on his plate here.

Form: 30

Emirat De Catana²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

100/1

Bred to have a bit of speed about him, so this test on quick ground could suit. Only slowly getting the hang of things over hurdles but better at Newcastle last time and step up in trip could help. Place chances if improving a little.

Form: PP844

Farran Dancer⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R P McLernon| T: R M Smith

100/1

Came good in a maiden Open point-to -point at Ampton last time out but that's only modest form and this is a tough contest to be making your hurdles debut in. Best watched.

Form: P4-6UP1

Imperial Elixir^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 114

10/1

Last of three at Market Rasen last time but not beaten far, and might have done better but for some slow jumps. Penny seems to be dropping with him but that form not that strong, and he does need another step today. Conditions fine, though.

Form: 65-5483

Juge Et Parti²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N A Twiston-Davies| OR: 120

7/2

Has some form that puts him right in the firing line here, but not the most consistent and really ought to have done better on his latest start. Chance is clear to see, and yard do well here, but not one for maximum faith any more.

Form: 206243

Knockoura^t1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes

20/1

Point-to-point form from 2017 reads well enough, and given it was his first start for almost two years at Newcastle recently, it wasn't a bad effort at all. This quicker ground may suit too, and he may go better than likely big odds suggest.

Form: 22/21-6

Skiddaw Valleys³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 121

11/4

Had ability on the Flat (rated mid-70s at his peak) and has carried that over to hurdles, placed all three starts to date and his form at Haydock last time out reads very well. Will handle this quicker ground and takes high rank among these.

Form: 322

Lastofthecosmics²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Ross Chapman| T: I Jardine

100/1

Only moderate form in three bumpers, running to a similar level every time, and is being thrown in in quite a hot little race for hurdles debut. Half-brother to numerous winners though, so may improve a little today.

Form: 956

Forecasts

Braid Blue (1/1), Skiddaw Valleys (11/4), Juge Et Parti (7/2), Imperial Elixir (10/1), Knockoura (20/1), Emirat De Catana (100/1), Lastofthecosmics (100/1), Farran Dancer (100/1), Cons Amigo (150/1)

Braid Blue has to be respected given Gordon Elliott's record here but this does look an excellent opportunity for SKIDDAW VALLEYS to score. His form entitles him to win this and with conditions fine, he can get on top. Juge Et Parti and Imperial Elixir hold chances but at likely bigger prices, don't ignore Knockoura if you're looking for something each-way.
