5/2

Made up into a very useful hurdler last term, scoring at Lingfield and Aintree and running well (in third) when fell last in Sefton Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April. Runner-up at Hereford on sole chasing start for Kim Bailey in 2022. Capable of a lot better back in this sphere.

5/1

Cost £290,000 after making a successful debut in the Irish pointing field and looked a useful prospect in winning his first 2 starts over Signed off with a below-par ninth in 3m Ayr handicap in April but no surprise to see him go well now chasing for his in-form yard.

5/1

Made steady progress over hurdles last season, culminating with 23f Exeter handicap win in January. Has had wind surgery since then. A wide-margin point win at the start of his career provides hope that he'll prove at least as effective over fences. Very interesting.

7/2

Firmly on the up when racking up a handicap hurdle hat-trick last winter. Resumed with a promising second of 5 in handicap at Taunton (23f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 20 days ago. Should have more to offer. In the mix.

10/3

Fairly useful bumper/hurdles. Off 10 months, shaped as if better for the run when last of 3 behind a couple of useful sorts on chase debut at Warwick last month. Open to improvement. Likely player.

Form: 2/1145-3

11/1

A fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles in 2022. Off almost 2 years before coming in last of 10 in handicap chase here (16.4f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 19 days ago. Needs a major step forward.

Forecasts

Kyntara (2/1), Wrappedupinmay (3/1), Kintail (4/1), Herakles Westwood (5/1), Mt Fugi Park (13/2), Moulins Clermont (20/1)

Lots of potential on show here, not least from Paul Nicholls' WRAPPEDUPINMAY and he is taken to go in at the first time of asking from fellow chasing newcomer Mt Fugi Park who also rates an interesting prospect. Kintail could emerge as the pick of those with experience over fences and can also have a say in this intriguing contest.
