Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Frederick Tett⁽⁵⁾| T: J Hughes

20/1

Step up in trip likely to suit based on his 19L sixth in a Ludlow (2m, good) bumper in May. Likely more needed on hurdling debut however.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Page Fuller⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs K A Buckett

50/1

Fell on both point-to-point starts in the spring and probably best watched on his first start under Rules for a new yard.

Forecasts

Dandolo Du Gite (4/7), Keel Over (5/1), It's Fine Wine (7/1), L'auberge Du Bois (7/1), Tricks And Trails (10/1), Comeonthebull (12/1), Realt Or (20/1), Len Brennan (28/1), Tractor Fred (50/1)

DANDOLO DU GITE showed up well on hurdling debut and he is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking in this opening maiden hurdle. Keel Over is another to have shown promise on hurdling debut and he can finish runner-up ahead of Comeonthebull who ran well in a bumper here recently.
