Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: Miss J Du Plessis

80/1

Big prices for both starts (over 2m5½f) so far and last of seven on his only completion. Headgear now fitted, but can only watch.

Form: U7

Earth Moor¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

1/4

Has shown promise in bumpers, winning one at Fontwell last time out, when in control. Sure to be well schooled for this hurdles debut and is bred to jump, so good debut anticipated.

Form: 4-221

Strictlyadancer¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: Christian Williams

50/1

Still early days over hurdles, but beaten a long way on his stable debut last time and hard to see him turning that around into a win here.

Form: FU-8

Zoffany Bay⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: A Stronge| BF

11/4

Recorded an easy Flat win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in August (OR 71). No jumps pedigree to speak of, but should get this trip on fast ground and if he can jump well enough, he could have a say here.

Form:

Getadollar¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: T Scudamore| T: Alexandra Dunn

33/1

Well held in all four starts over hurdles. This is not as tough as some of those, so she may have a squeak of some prize money, but not easy to envisage a win.

Forecasts

Earth Moor (1/4), Zoffany Bay (11/4), Getadollar (33/1), Strictlyadancer (50/1), Cornelius Socks (80/1)

This looks best left to recent bumper winner EARTH MOOR, who will be well prepared and represents a top yard. Zoffany Bay is the next most interesting in the field after a Flat win in the summer, while Getadollar may be the one to chase them home.
