Call Me Lord²⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 155

3/1

Smart hurdler who landed International Hurdle at Cheltenham last December. Well held in Champion Hurdle there final run but proven at this trip and yard going well so he's sure to be in the mix.

Form: 73/2120-

Summerville Boy²⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 155| D

10/3

2018 Supreme Hurdle winner got back on track returned to hurdling last season, ending campaign with fifth in Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham. Effective at this shorter trip so resumes with good claims.

Form: 61F125-

Thomas Darby²⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 157| BF

11/2

Supreme runner-up in 2019 who got right back on track after unsuccessful chase campaign with Ascot handicap win and third in Fontwell Grade 2. Still low mileage so must enter calculations on comeback.

Form: 12/2313-

Navajo Pass²³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 145

11/1

Fairly useful 14f Flat winner who has taken really well to hurdles, landing Grade 2 at Doncaster before fine fourth in Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. More to offer now up in trip so worth considering.

Form: 1214-

Ch'tibello²⁵⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 155WS

15/8

Smart hurdler who signed off for last term with good third in 2m Kingwell Hurdle at Kempton. Returns after wind op so much respected on a track where he has gone well before.

Form: 213/353-

Dinons^p⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: Mark Campion| OR: 143| D

200/1

Useful winning chaser for Gordon Elliott who was well below best back hurdling when third of 5 at Down Royal (24.4f) 71 days ago. Very hard to make a case for here for his new yard.

Form: 31P-503

Forecasts

Ch'tibello (15/8), Call Me Lord (3/1), Summerville Boy (10/3), Thomas Darby (11/2), Navajo Pass (11/1), Dinons (200/1)

An intriguing renewal in which the principals all lack a recent run but Tom George's Stayers' Hurdle fifth SUMMERVILLE BOY has won off an absence before so is taken to thwart Thomas Darby who still has few miles on the clock and may do better still this season. Navajo Pass rates an interesting outsider now he steps up in trip while both Call Me Lord and Ch'tibello can make their presence felt too.
