Blakeney Point⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| D

7/2

Gambled on and showed much-improved form on the back of a wind op to make his second hurdle start a winning one at Bangor in July. Held on the Flat since but open to further progress in this sphere.

Form: 8-1

Stoner's Choice^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 126

4/5

Fairly useful bumper winner who confirmed promise of his hurdling debut when winning at Perth 3 weeks ago. Still has room for improvement in the jumping department and form pick under a penalty.

Form: 21/57-21

Arcanja²²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley

200/1

No impact in a pair of bumpers 11 months apart and well held on hurdles bow in March.

Form: 6/PP-

Bass Rock⁴⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson

12/1

From a useful French family and showed ability when fifth in juvenile hurdle (13/1) at Clairefontaine (16.9f, soft) 15 months ago. Market should guide on first start for this yard.

Form: 5-

Get With It²²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Dobbin

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, fifth of 8 in bumper at Newcastle (16.2f, soft). Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 65-

Instant Replay²²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison| OR: 115

10/1

Evidence suggests he's much better over fences than hurdles but lightly raced in this sphere and massive player if coming anywhere near his chase form.

Form: 0/24216-

Spanish Jump

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

6/1

Brave Mansonnien gelding. Half-brother to French 1m winner Spanish Falcon. Dam unraced.

Wee Goldie²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: Mrs H O Graham

12/1

Fair in bumpers and left hurdling debut form behind when fourth in Kelso novice last month, despite making mistakes. Needs much more again, though.

Form: 2358-4

Bibbidibobbidiboo²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A Duffield| BF

50/1

Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Third of 7 in seller (2/1) at Redcar (8f, soft) 22 days ago. Work to do.

Forecasts

Stoner's Choice (4/5), Blakeney Point (7/2), Spanish Jump (6/1), Instant Replay (10/1), Bass Rock (12/1), Wee Goldie (12/1), Get With It (33/1), Bibbidibobbidiboo (50/1), Burrows Diamond (100/1), Arcanja (200/1), Orlas' Abbey (250/1)

BLAKENEY POINT proved a different proposition to his hurdling debut when easily landing the odds at Bangor in July and should have more to offer in this sphere. Stoner's Choice is the form pick but still has plenty to learn in the jumping department so may not be one to take a short price about. Instant Replay is fairly useful over fences so would be a big player if running close to his best.
