Selected odds by:
Fourth only start in bumpers and shaped with some promise when third in 16-runner novice at this course (2m) 3 weeks ago. Significantly up in trip and may do better.
|
Won sole start in point bumpers and looked an above-average prospect in overcoming prevailing inexperience when following up in an Aintree bumper for Philip Rowley in May. Has since transferred to Nicky Henderson and type to make his mark over hurdles.
|
Failed to live up to market expectations when only fifth of 11 in bumper at Haydock on debut in May. In top hands though, and could show more now switched to hurdling.
|
Fair form in 2 starts in bumpers at the end of 2023 but last month's hurdles debut at Lingfield was not especially promising.
|
Successful on sole outing between the flags and has shown fair form on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers. Upped significantly in trip for hurdling debut. Has had a breathing operation (also tongue tied).
|
Shaped with promise when fourth in a pair of bumpers and has done the same both starts over hurdles, finishing second of 15 at Ffos Las (20f) latterly. Remains open to improvement.
|
€14,000 3-y-o, £72,000 5-y-o, Notnowcato gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) African Broadway. Won sole start in points in April and is an interesting recruit to Rules.
|
Fair bumper winner but has been disappointing so far over hurdles. Longer trip needs to bring about improvement.
|
Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points, though that was back in May 2021 and he was well held in a Wincanton bumper on his Rules debut in April 2023. Off since.
|
Estejo gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Flag of Honour and poor hurdler Doors Breaker, stays 3m. Dam 6f-9f winner.
|
Runner-up sole outing in points last spring and showed promise in a Huntingdon bumper/maiden hurdle back in the spring. Extra yardage here will suit and he's open to improvement.
|
Unpromising in points and has fared little better both starts over hurdles.

Forecasts
Bear Market (4/5), Jaccours (7/2), Histrionic (11/2), Aviation (9/1), Reallyntruthfully (12/1), Jacques Clouseau (28/1), Doctor Midas (33/1), Jafimgoso (66/1), Drumheller (200/1), Tony's Tipple (250/1), Kicks And Ale (300/1), Poete Ardent (300/1)
BEAR MARKET overcame prevailing inexperience when edging out the promising Miami Magic on his sole outing in bumpers at Aintree in May and makes plenty of appeal now going hurdling for Nicky Henderson. Jaccours has made a promising start in this sphere and remains open to improvement, with Reallyntruthfully and Histrionic others to note.
