Another Stowaway²²⁷

6/1

Shown plenty of ability in bumpers and finished runner-up on soft ground in that sphere at Warwick last time out. Making his hurdles debut today.

Form: 3/542-

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: R Stephens

80/1

Finished last of five on bumper debut and unseated rider early on when making his hurdling debut at Newton Abbot (good-to-firm) in June. Others make more appeal.

Form: 5U

Bloody Nose³³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: M Bradstock

40/1

Well held in two bumpers so far including at Doncaster on good ground in November last year. Absent since and probably best watched on hurdles debut.

Form: 58-

Book of Gold²⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood

5/1

Good effort to finish runner-up in a Warwick (soft) bumper on debut in December and a fair effort when fifth in a competitive Kempton (good-to-soft) bumper subsequently. Interesting to see how he fares on hurdling debut.

Form: 25-

Frankie Rapper²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

10/1

Ran well in two bumpers earlier this year but well held over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (good) on hurdling debut earlier this month. Steps up in trip today.

Form: 34-9

Gift From God^t¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: A J Honeyball

50/1

Maiden after nine starts and failed to complete on two of his three outings over hurdles for Hugo Froud. Debuts for a new yard today.

Form: P-7P

Minellatillmorning²⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: N D Fehily| T: N P Mulholland

25/1

Placed twice in point-to-points in Ireland and a fair effort when fourth over an extended 1m5f in a Fontwell (good) bumper on his rules debut in March. Step up in trip should suit on hurdling debut.

Form: 3U34-

My Charity²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

25/1

Stepped up markedly on debut when finishing 8L fifth on his first outing for this yard in a Market Rasen (good) bumper last month. Interesting to see how he fares on his debut over obstacles.

Form: 5-5

Springtown Lake²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

4/7

Improved on bumper debut when finishing runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Ascot (good) over an extended 2m3f in April. Stable can boast a 25% strike-rate (6/24) of late and a repeat of that latest effort should see him hard to beat today.

Form: 202-

Ted Thistle¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: S Edmunds

20/1

Well held in a bumper in March 2016 and best effort in three point-to-point starts came when 1L second on good ground in April. Probably best watched on rules return.

Form: 0/PU-2

The Resdev Way¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby

50/1

Three time winner on the AW but well held on turf the last twice and probably best watched on his debut in this sphere.

Forecasts

Springtown Lake (4/7), Book of Gold (5/1), Another Stowaway (6/1), Frankie Rapper (10/1), Ted Thistle (20/1), My Charity (25/1), Minellatillmorning (25/1), Bloody Nose (40/1), The Resdev Way (50/1), Gift From God (50/1), Awaywiththeblues (80/1)

SPRINGTOWN LAKE put in a career best performance when finishing runner-up at Ascot in the spring and he can make a winning seasonal debut in this maiden hurdle. The selection hails from a yard with a 25% strike-rate (6/24) in recent weeks and he can get the better of Another Stowaway who is making his hurdling debut today following some sound efforts in bumpers. Book Of Gold has run well in two bumpers so far and can finish third on this hurdling debut.
