Selected odds by:

Illegal D'ainay³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 117| C

7/2

pened his hurdle account in 2m course maiden in May. Has bettered that form when placed twice under a penalty in recent months but needs more here.

Form: 22/U123

Jurancon^t1³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 127| BF

5/6

Useful 2-time winner in bumpers who confirmed hurdles debut promise when opening his account in 10-runner 2m maiden at Chepstow in November. Beaten only by a promising youngster under a penalty at Exeter subsequently and has leading claims in a first-time tongue strap up in trip.

Form: 121-212

Drumheller³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: N F Houlihan| T: N J Gifford

33/1

Fair third on his better bumper run last season but has been well held both starts over hurdles and will be of more interest in handicaps after this run.

Form: 34-66

Gamblergo⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: K Brogan| T: T LawesWS

50/1

Successful on sole outing in Irish points but went with little promise switched to hurdles at Uttoxeter in November. Has had a breathing operation since.

Form: 1-P

Minella Kaiser²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Freddie Gordon⁽³⁾| T: C Gordon

10/1

Placed on the first of 2 starts in Irish points but looks one for handicaps later on based on early evidence under Rules.

Form: 38-4

Simply Ed^t1²⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: James Best| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy

100/1

Well held in varied events on Flat and makes very little appeal on hurdle debut for new yard. Tongue tied.

Form:

Sole Solution⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

3/1

Dual bumper winner who understandably shaped as if needing the run after almost 2 years off when a well-held sixth at Bangor in November. Subsequently chased home a potentially smart novice in Sixmilebridge upped to 20.5f at Leicester (heavy) and likely to progress further.

Form: 11/62

Lyness Dancer³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

100/1

Behind both starts in point bumpers and has offered little in a bumper/novice hurdle under Rules.

Form: 66-84

Forecasts

Jurancon (5/6), Sole Solution (3/1), Illegal D'ainay (7/2), Minella Kaiser (10/1), Drumheller (33/1), Gamblergo (50/1), Simply Ed (100/1), Lyness Dancer (100/1)

JURANCON failed to land the odds at Exeter last month, but that race had more depth than the market suggested and with the step up in distance likely to suit, he’s fancied to defy a penalty at the second attempt. Sole Solution chased home a potentially smart novice in Sixmilebridge at Leicester on his most recent outing and is the obvious threat with further progress on the cards.
