Selected odds by:

Braganza Bay¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly

100/1

Shaped well when second in 16-runner Huntingdon bumper on debut in March. However, well held both subsequent starts since, including on recent reappearance, and best watched now switched to hurdles.

Form: 28-0

George Mallory³⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson

300/1

Fair on Flat (stays 1½m) for Kevin Ryan, but has shown precious little in a couple of runs over hurdles to date.

Form: 0P-

Horizon D'Ainay²²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

8/1

Fetched £80,000 as a 3-y-o and encouraging start to his career when fourth of 10 in 2m Warwick bumper in March. That experience won't be wasted on him and one to note on hurdles debut.

Form: 4-

Kihavah¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: A Keatley

18/1

Placed on 2 of his 3 starts in maidens on the Flat in Ireland. Recent hurdles debut for new yard at Bangor wasn't devoid of encouragement, but will need to raise his game in order to take this.

Form: 6

Kinondo Kwetu²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathan England| T: S England

33/1

Successful both starts between the flags and showed both ability and signs of temperament when fourth in 17.2f Carlisle novice hurdle on Rules debut. Should do better in time.

Form: 1/1-4

Motahassen^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: D Carroll

200/1

Modest Flat winner who is related to a winning hurdler, but will likely have an educational start in this sphere. Yard also saddles Natchez Trace.

Form:

Natchez Trace³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: R T Dunne| T: D Carroll

28/1

Effective at 7f-1½m on the Flat, winner of Carlisle maiden handicap in July and good second at Nottingham on penultimate start. However, will need to settle better now switched to hurdles.

Form:

Oslo²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

6/1

Fairly useful on Flat and wasn't knocked about when chasing home the odds-on Midnights Legacy starting out over hurdles at Plumpton (2m) last month. Open to improvement in this sphere.

Form: 2

Pearl Warrior^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine

11/1

Four-time winner on the Flat in Ireland. Patchy form on the level for new yard this year, but there were positives to glean from Sedgefield hurdles debut (16.8f) and should pay his way in this sphere.

Form: 4

Peejaybee²⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: R Spencer| CD

7/2

Did the job well when making a winning debut in a 10-runner bumper here in February. Very much an unknown quantity and very much one to consider on this hurdling bow.

Form: 1-

Raymond Tusk³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

10/11

Smart on the Flat, twice placed in competitive 1½m handicaps for new yard this year. Closely related to hurdles winner Let's Twist Again and will prove hard to beat if his jumping passes the test.

Form:

Theoule^h1²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs E Bishop

300/1

Showed ability on the first of his 2 starts on the Flat for Martyn Meade, but hurdles debut at Kempton in April left much to be desired. Hood enlisted on first appearance for new connections.

Form: 7-

The Turfaccountant^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson

250/1

Nearer last than first in a couple of bumpers 14 months apart, and recent hurdles bow at Fakenham was hardly inspiring.

Form: 0/0-4

Forecasts

Raymond Tusk (10/11), Peejaybee (7/2), Oslo (6/1), Horizon D'Ainay (8/1), Pearl Warrior (11/1), Kihavah (18/1), Natchez Trace (28/1), Kinondo Kwetu (33/1), Braganza Bay (100/1), Motahassen (200/1), The Turfaccountant (250/1), George Mallory (300/1), Theoule (300/1)

This race revolves around smart Flat performer RAYMOND TUSK, who appeals as the type to adapt well to this new discipline and, if that proves to be the case, he could take high rank in the novice division this season. Peejaybee made a bright start to his career in a bumper here in February and is second choice ahead of Oslo, while Horizon d'Ainay and Kinondo Kwetu both possess potential.
