2/1
Unbeaten in 3 starts to date, taking a marked step forward as he forged clear in the Wensleydale at Wetherby on British debut 15 days ago. Excellent claims with stiff track sure to suit.

6/1
Fairly useful in 3 races on the Flat in France and off the mark at the first attempt over hurdles at Warwick 8 days ago, well on top at the finish. Should improve, so warrants consideration.

18/1
French-bred gelding who has been runner-up on both outings in juvenile hurdles, improving his form at Fontwell 43 days ago. This requires a more substantial step forward.

125/1
Fair hurdler who isn't the most straightforward and yet to open his account in 6 attempts, so hard to imagine he'll feature in this.

11/1
Steadily progressive on Flat for Charlie Hills and looked a useful recruit to the hurdling when making a successful start at Uttoxeter. Underwhelming behind Duffle Coat at Wetherby next time, though.

11/10
Brother to smart hurdler/chaser Hell Boy and, following an encouraging start in France, looked an exciting prospect when readily clearing away in a juvenile hurdle at Chepstow. Leading claims.

Historic Heart31

25/1
Fair Flat maiden who has already bettered that level as a hurdler, taking his tally in this sphere to two when landing a juvenile at Wetherby last time. Not discounted if he progress again.

125/1
Only modest on the Flat for Jamie Osborne but has left that form behind over jurdles, opening his account with little to spare at Juvenile in October. This looks a whole lot tougher, though.

Forecasts

Hell Red (11/10), Duffle Coat (2/1), Adagio (6/1), Cabot Cliffs (11/1), Balko Saint (18/1), Historic Heart (25/1), Billy The Squid (125/1), Jersey Grey (125/1)

Verdict

HELL RED jumped well as he made light work of landing a juvenile at Chepstow on his first start in this country and, with a similarly assured round, he can get the better of Duffle Coat, who is unbeaten but concedes 5 lb all round. Adagio is another one to consider.

  1. HELL RED (FR)
  2. DUFFLE COAT (IRE)
  3. ADAGIO (GER)
