Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| BF

7/2

£135,000 buy after finishing runner-up sole outing in Irish points. All the rage in the betting but promised more than he delivered in a Wetherby bumper on Rules debut in March and was still in need of the experience at Perth the following month. Makes hurdle debut.

De Vega's Warrior¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Miss H C Knight

150/1

A frustrating maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 16.5f) and made an unpromising start to his career over hurdles at Chepstow 11 days ago.

Killard Point⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford

300/1

Off mark in points at sixth attempt in May but shaped with no promise on Rules debut at Uttoxeter in July.

Form: P22-51P

Not So Woolly¹⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

11/1

Kayf Tara gelding. Dam 3m chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Finney. Offered something to work on when fifth of 8 in a course bumper on debut 6 months ago. Longer trip a plus now hurdling.

Form: 5-

Pony Soprano²⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

7/2

€135,000 Blue Bresil gelding. Dam, well held in bumpers, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Royal Player. Shaped like a stayer when third of 8 in a Sandown bumper on debut 8 months ago, so step up in trip promises to suit on hurdle debut.

Form: 3-

Loki's Mischief⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams

18/1

Ran to a fair level when runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and is bred to have a good future over jumps.

Form: 27

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

4/5

Built on previous promise when making all in a Taunton bumper in February. Put up a useful effort when fifth of 18 in Grade 2 event at Aintree final outing and is very much of interest now switched to hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Looks one for low-grade handicaps after this.

Hill Of Scarriff¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton

150/1

Successful on sole outing in points but was easy to back and offer little on recent hurdling debut at Chepstow.

Forecasts

Sorceleur (4/5), Pony Soprano (7/2), Dangerous Touch (7/2), Not So Woolly (11/1), Loki's Mischief (18/1), Dropitlikeitshot (50/1), Gillespie Road (100/1), De Vega's Warrior (150/1), Hill Of Scarriff (150/1), Killard Point (300/1)

SORCELEUR progressed with each run in bumpers, putting up a useful effort in a Grade 2 at Aintree on final outing, and will surely take a fair bit of beating if transferring that sort of form to hurdles at the first attempt. Pony Soprano is in good hands and seems likely to build on his third in a Sandown bumper now going hurdling up in trip, with Dangerous Touch fancied to fill the places.
