6/4

Impressive 15L winner of a hurdle over an extended 2m1f at Auteuil (heavy) in November on his second start for Guillaume Macaire. Changed stables since and is a leading contender on his return from a break.

Blame It On Sally¹⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| D

14/1

Victorious three times on the Flat including over 2m at Kempton last August. Sold for 70,000 gns at the sales in October and is worth a check in the market on his hurdles and stable debut.

Form:

Earl Of Harrow²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex

10/1

Successful three times when trained by Mick Channon on the Flat and ran well when finishing runner-up over an extended 1m7f on debut for his yard in a hurdle at Catterick (soft) last month. More needed if he's to take this contest however.

Form: 2

Royal Dancer²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: M D Grant| T: S Kirk

100/1

Fair effort in finishing 20L fourth in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton (2m, heavy) on jumping debut last month. Needs to improve markedly on what he showed that day if he's to take this event.

Form: 4

Tremwedge¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 126

8/1

Placed third in a Grade 3 hurdle at Fairyhouse (yielding-to-soft) in December on final start for Ellmarie Holden. Decent 11½L seventh over an extended 2m at Newbury (good) on stable debut recently and interesting to see how he fares.

Form: 337

Vorashann²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

40/1

Soft ground winner on the Flat in France but finished a well beaten 33L fourth on hurdling and stable debut at Sandown (2m, heavy) at the start of this month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 4

Waterproof⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: S L Keightley| OR: 127| D

33/1

Built on a promising third on hurdles debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) in November when winning by 15L at Fakenham (2m, good-to-soft) at the start of last month. Improvement needed if he's to take this race.

Form: 31

Fantastic Ms Fox^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: L P Aspell| T: Noel Williams| OR: 126

10/1

Unseated on hurdling debut but is unbeaten in two subsequent starts including a Listed mares contest over an extended 2m at Doncaster (good-to-soft) just under a month ago. Notable runner in this contest.

Form: U11

Fujimoto Flyer^h1¹⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: D A Jacob| T: E Mullins

15/8

Unbeaten in two starts over hurdles most recently when seeing off a subsequent Grade 2 winner by 9L in a Listed event over 2m2f at Auteuil (very soft) in early September. Leading contender with a hood worn for the first time.

Form: 11

Forecasts

Solo (6/4), Fujimoto Flyer (15/8), Tremwedge (8/1), Fantastic Ms Fox (10/1), Earl Of Harrow (10/1), Blame It On Sally (14/1), Waterproof (33/1), Vorashann (40/1), Royal Dancer (100/1)

FUJIMOTO FLYER impressed in seeing off a useful rival at Auteuil in early September and the sole Irish raider in the field is taken to maintain her unbeaten record by recording a first Graded success in this competitive looking juvenile hurdle. Fellow Auteuil winner Solo is returning from a break and he can finish runner-up on debut for this yard while hurdling newcomer Blame It On Sally one of two runners for a stable who won this race in both 2017 and 2018 can take third.
