Selected odds by:

Ben Solo²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis

8/1

Irish point winner who was placed in the first of 2 bumpers last season and made a successful start to his hurdle career in a 2m Chepstow novice 4 weeks ago. Should be more to come now stepping up in trip.

Form: 1/37-1

Glynn Brae²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N A Twiston-Davies

5/1

Overcame inexperience to win a Leopardstown bumper in March (sold from Stuart Crawford for £130,000 later that month) and followed up on his Stratford hurdle debut 8 months later. Capable of better.

Form: 1-1

Followcato¹⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| BF

25/1

£72,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in an Irish point in February. Promise when third of 13 in a Huntingdon bumper for new connections in April and he should have a future over jumps.

Form: 23-

Kepler's Law²⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

40/1

Won his sole start in Irish points (Apr 21). The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling for new connections.

Form: 1-

Malicash²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

5/1

Ran to a fair level without winning in bumpers for Ewan Whillans and made a positive start over hurdles for new connections when second of 10 at Carlisle (17f, soft) 23 days ago. Open to progress.

Form: 3628-2

Mister Meggit²¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: Jonjo & A O'Neill| BF

1/1

Looked very good when winning first 2 bumpers. Suffered interference when well beaten in a Grade 2 bumper here in the spring but the fact he went off at 15/8 shows the regard in which he's held. Likely to have a big say on hurdle debut for in-form stable.

Form: 110-

Moonshine Man³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: Miss H C Knight

125/1

Ran to a modest level when fifth of 10 in bumper at Warwick (2m, good) on debut 37 days ago. Steps up in trip for hurdle debut. A watching brief is advised.

Form: 5

Moran's Law^h1,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

200/1

In good hands but looks more one for the longer term judged on his efforts in a Warwick bumper and Sedgefield maiden hurdle 6 months apart. Has a hood added to the tongue tie he wore at Sedgefield.

Form: 0-5

Off The Jury²¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: A King

8/1

Point winner in Ireland and fair form when reaching the frame in 3 bumpers earlier in the year. Starts out over hurdles in quite a warm race and possibly best to look elsewhere.

Form: 1/243-

Forecasts

Mister Meggit (1/1), Malicash (5/1), Glynn Brae (5/1), Off The Jury (8/1), Ben Solo (8/1), Followcato (25/1), Kepler's Law (40/1), Moonshine Man (125/1), Moran's Law (200/1)

An interesting opener. There were excuses for MISTER MEGITT when a warm favourite for a Grade 2 bumper at the Grand National meeting and he can get his hurdle career off to a winning start for the in-form O'Neill yard. Malicash, Glynn Brae and Ben Solo can give him most to do in that order.
