9/4
Defied a penalty in 5-runner novice hurdle at Stratford (22f, good) 28 days ago, by 5 lengths from Yellow Car. More required under a double penalty but respected all the same.

Showed improved form on first run since leaving Harriet Dickin when easily winning 9-runner maiden hurdle at this course (19.1f, good) 16 days ago. Has good claims under a penalty.

13/2
Point winner who overcame lingering greenness to make a successful start over hurdles at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in July. Bettered that form when second to Huelgoat under a penalty at Stratford last month and open to further improvement.

9/2
Dual fairly useful winner over fences who posted a good second at Newton Abbot when last seen in May. Showed a similar level of form over hurdles earlier in his career, so has to enter calculations.

Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles at Worcester. Significantly up in trip.

Forecasts

Prince Imperial (6/5), Huelgoat (9/4), Hauraki Gulf (9/2), Yellow Car (13/2), Sox's Sun (250/1)

Verdict

PRINCE IMPERIAL stepped up appreciably on his previous form in this sphere starting out for a new trainer when running out an easy winner here 16 days ago and is fancied to defy a penalty. Hauraki Gulf returns to hurdling for the first time in a while but has the form to play a big part, with old rivals Huelgoat and Yellow Car warranting respect, also.
