Selected odds by:

Fingle Bridge³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

13/8

Useful bumper scorer in 2022 who made light of a two-year absence when easily landing the odds in 2m novice at Uttoxeter on his hurdles bow 38 days ago. Has plenty of scope to improve and has excellent claims of defying a penalty at the first time of asking.

Form: 21/1

Monaco Rules⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| D

8/1

Fairly useful on the Flat in France and made a winning start to hurdling for Francois Nicolle at Cholet in October. Made no impact pitched into deepish waters on first start for this yard at Haydock 2 months later and may do better.

Form: 15

Wellington Arch³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 120

7/4

Fairly useful bumper winner last season who translated that ability to hurdles at the first time of asking when second on 17f Exeter reappearance. Went one better with plenty in hand at Carlisle (17f) since and appeals as the type to go on improving.

Form: 1340-21

Caramelo Rapido¹³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

16/1

Made the frame both starts in points and shaped with some encouragement when third in a small-field bumper at Stratford on Rules debut in September. Subsequently sold out of Max Young's yard for 19,000 gns ahead of this switch to hurdling.

Form: 4-33

Dark Mix⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: C J Todd| T: Mrs P Sly| C

14/1

Course bumper winner who went backwards from hurdling bow when pulled up in maiden (16/1) at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 43 days ago, dropping away quickly home turn (lost both front shoes).

Form: 16-5P

Midnight Potter²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: A Keatley

10/1

Lacks scope and had no answers once headed in a Wetherby bumper on debut 3 weeks ago.

Form: 8

Monteplex^p1,h⁶⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison

12/1

Modest form at best in bumpers and ran to a similar level when second of 7 in novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, soft) in March 2023. Absent since. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 5350P2/

Superior Glance¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer

50/1

Won her sole start in point bumpers in 2020 but has made little impact both starts over hurdles. Down in trip.

Form: 1/64

Forecasts

Fingle Bridge (13/8), Wellington Arch (7/4), Monaco Rules (8/1), Midnight Potter (10/1), Monteplex (12/1), Dark Mix (14/1), Caramelo Rapido (16/1), Superior Glance (50/1)

FINGLE BRIDGE and Wellington Arch look the pair to focus on. The former brushed off a 2-year absence when justifying substantial support in impressive fashion on his Uttoxeter hurdling debut just over 5 weeks ago and is narrowly preferred with significant improvement on the cards.
