33/1
Half-brother to the useful hurdler Applesolutely, likely to do better in handicaps after today though after showing only moderate form in two starts so far. One to watch with the future in mind.
Well beaten in a bumper and a hurdles start so far, and has no realistic chance of success here.
Easy winner of only start in a point-to-point so far, bought for £34,000 not long after. Form of that done no favours by the second and third subsequently. However, has joined a top yard and on that alone, has to be given consideration here.

Bred to want a trip, so may improve a little here but will need to after finishing last i a bumper on only start so far. Others readily preferred.

20/1
Will want fences and a trip in time, so unsurprising that he's one that looks like he needs time after a few moderate efforts over hurdles so far. Will do better at some point, but probably when handicapped.

2/5
Reverts to hurdles here but an easy winner of a Class 2 chase at Newbury when last seen, coming home strongly to claim the prize. Has been found a very winnable race here and on all we know, looks the one to beat.

14/1
Has shown a bit of ability in bumpers but jumped poorly on hurdles debut at Huntingdon in November and will need to do a lot better than that here. Yard struggling for form too, and easy enough to look elsewhere.

100/1
Sent off huge prices on his two hurdles starts so far and has shown very little, unseating early in the first and pulled up in the second. Can't be considered as the winner here.
Has at least won a race, that being a moderate bumper in heavy ground at Exeter around a year ago, but has shown little in two hurdles starts, looking less than in love with hurdling at times. Hard to make a solid case for.

This looks at the mercy of KAPCORSE, who takes in this hurdles race on his way to better things. He was very impressive when winning a good quality chase at Newbury last time out, and the switch back to hurdles should pose no problem. The race for the places is likely to concern debutante Dancingatdunraven, the slowly improving Invisible Clouds and, if he can refind his better form, Caro Des Flos.
  1. Kapcorse
  2. Invisible Clouds
  3. Dancingatdunraven
