Settings

Selected odds by:

Inappropriate²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-5| J: C O'Farrell| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| D

7/2

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m) and thriving in the autumn, made a smooth transition to hurdling when coming from last to first in a steadily-run race at Newcastle (16.2f) last month. Open to improvement.

Form: 1

Knight Templar¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: R Stephens| D

14/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 16.5f), recorded hat-trick for this yard in second half of 2024. Flattered by proximity to comfortable winner in 3-runner affair at Huntingdon on his recent hurdling debut but may do better.

Form: 2

Lucky Bere³²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Joshua Newman| T: K Woollacott

17/2

Fair on the Flat (successful twice at 1½m in the spring) in France and showed promise sent hurdling after 7 months off when second in 8-runner event over C&D 31 days ago, considerately handled. Entitled to do better.

Form: 2

Midnight Rumble⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

6/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m), successful once in 2024, below form last time. In the right hands do well over hurdles, so must enter calculations.

Form:

Nardaran²⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| BF

5/2

Showed fair form when third in 1½m newcomers race at Saint-Cloud only outing on Flat. Left Francis-Henri Graffard €135,000 in July. Interesting hurdling debutant.

Form:

Risk It All

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore

11/4

Easy 6-length winner of 2m minor event at Nort-sur-Erdre, only outing on Flat for Elisabeth Allaire. Needs a market check now setting out over hurdles for Gary & Josh Moore.

Kinetic^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: James Bowen| T: James Owen

14/1

Scored 4 times around 1m4f on the level during the summer, showing fairly useful form, but isn't an obvious hurdler on looks and ran to just a modest level first time up at Newbury last week. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this sphere.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Nardaran (11/4), Knight Templar (7/2), Midnight Rumble (4/1), Lucky Bere (6/1), Inappropriate (6/1), Risk It All (10/1), Kinetic (12/1)

Paul Nicholls took this race in 2021 with Iceo and NARDARAN could be another good prospect for the yard having changed hands for €135,000 in July after showing promise on his sole outing on the Flat. He gets the nod ahead of Inappropriate, who created a good impression in coming from last to first in a steadily-run race at Newcastle on his hurdling debut. Midnight Rumble is in good hands and is also of interest.
