Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Law Ella and winning pointer/fair hurdler Westy Fox, stays 25f. Unplaced both starts in Irish points, last of 4 finishers latest one in May. Market can guide.
Timeform
Dual bumper winner but offered little over hurdles at Bangor and Doncaster (cheekpieces on) last season. More needed after 9 months off.
|
Timeform
Winning pointer who landed 7-runner bumper at Newcastle (16.9f, heavy) on NH debut 6 months ago. Much respected on his hurdles debut.
|
Timeform
Placed a couple of times between the flags but only modest form in two runs over hurdles at Punchestown and Hexham. Needs to step forward.

Confirmed debut promise when bagging 10-runner bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Interesting hurdling debutant.

Kayf Tara gelding fetched €92,000 as a 3-y-o. Hinted at promise when sixth of 10 in bumper (3/1) at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) on NH debut 10 months ago. In top hands so considered now going over hurdles.

Age: 4|  Weight: 10-13| J: P W Wadge(3)| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR:  107| BF
Shaped with promise when runner-up on all his four outings last season, ending in juvenile hurdle at Hexham (2m, heavy) in April. The form pick on his return.
|
Timeform
Fair maiden on the Flat and he came in second of 7 in handicap here (11.2f) in May. Off since but not ruled out back in this sphere.
|
Timeform
Well held a pair of bumpers at Kelso and Hexham in early summer. Lots more required now making her hurdles debut.

La Marquiset189
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-6| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden
A dual bumper winner who signed off last term with an excellent third of 16 in Grade 2 Aintree bumper in April. Very much one to consider now starting out in this sphere.
|
Timeform
£10,000 3-y-o, £15,000 4-y-o, Doyen filly. Dam fair 19f chase winner. Dead-heated for first sole outing in Irish points in May so she's a respected hurdling newcomer.

Forecasts

La Marquise (2/1), Woodland Park (9/4), Gentleman Bill (5/1), I Wish You (11/2), Yhprum's Law (10/1), Windsor Wife (10/1), Dino Bellagio (33/1), Vampire Slayer (50/1), Didntgotwenty (66/1), Some Bro (66/1), Bellmount Lady (150/1)

Verdict

Jamie Snowden's LA MARQUISE showed plenty in bumpers last season so is fancied to make a winning start in this sphere at the chief expense of form choice I Wish You who might have to settle for second yet again. Woodland Park, Windsor Wife and Gentleman Bill are other hurdling debutants who could have a say.
