Ninth Loch^h1⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Victoria Malzard⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Derham| OR: 122

8/1

Bumper winner for Willie Mullins prior to winning 3 times over hurdles for N. George & A. Zetterholm in France, showing fairly useful form. Claimed for €21,506 and has joined a yard that has an excellent record with new recruits.

Form: 41-P471

Nordic Tiger^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Harry Derham| OR: 122| C

5/1

Successful 3 times last season, including at this track and ran creditably when fourth in 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (19.4f, good) on return. Should give another good account.

Form: 31121-4

Kado De Joie²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 119

9/4

Progressive young hurdler who came from an unpromising position to follow up his Fontwell success in 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) 26 days ago. Handicapper applies more pressure but still unexposed, particularly at this sort of trip.

Form: 16-3511

Latin Verse²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: H Cobden| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 119

14/1

Won twice over hurdles last season and returned to that sort of form with usual cheekpieces left off when second of 9 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) in November, pulling clear of the remainder. Not seen to best effect upped in trip at Taunton since.

Form: P2-6726

High Game Royal²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 118

10/1

Fairly useful hurdler who shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft) 22 days ago, promising more than he delivered.

Form: 335-225

Authentic Legacy^p1²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 112| BF

10/3

Authorized gelding who has shaped well in making the frame all 4 starts over hurdles, including when third in 6-runner handicap at Sandown (2m) last month. Remains open to improvement with the markedly longer trip expected to suit. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 482-223

Love Of Neymore¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 112| C

8/1

Improved to get off the mark in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f) in April, responding well. Shaped as if amiss sent chasing at Ludlow 6 months later but quickly returned to winning ways reverting to hurdling when making all here (19.8f, soft) 18 days ago. Respected up 5 lb.

Form: P431-P1

Storm Dennis⁶⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 109| D

20/1

On the up at the beginning of 2022, winning handicaps at Huntingdon and Kempton. However, tailed off third and final start in 2022/23 and absent since

Form: 811566/

Saunton Surf²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Daire Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 105| BF

16/1

Easy winner of a point/Aintree bumper for Bradley Gibbs and better than the result on a couple of occasions over hurdles last season. Positive start to this season when runner-up at Lingfield (23f, good) but a shade underwhelming when only fifth of 10 at Doncaster since.

Form: 2558-25

Forecasts

Kado De Joie (9/4), Authentic Legacy (10/3), Nordic Tiger (5/1), Love Of Neymore (8/1), Ninth Loch (8/1), High Game Royal (10/1), Latin Verse (14/1), Saunton Surf (16/1), Storm Dennis (20/1)

KADO DE JOIE again came from an unpromising position to win comfortably at Lingfield last month and, with the likelihood of further improvement over this still longer trip, he's taken to complete the hat-trick. Authentic Legacy should also have more to offer now upped in distance, with multiple hurdles winner Ninth Loch requiring close market attention on first start for Harry Derham.
