Selected odds by:
Fairly useful form on back of wind op when third in bumper at Lingfield 22 days ago. Makes hurdles debut now with tongue strap on so much respected.
|
Ready Stratford bumper winner who (5/6) went down only narrowly on hurdling bow when clear second of 7 in novice at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Has more to offer so big player.
|
Placed all three runs in bumpers but fell first on hurdling bow before not looking easy ride in blinkers when fourth of 7 in 2m novice at Market Rasen. Cheekpieces on now but others appeal more.
|
Fair 7f Flat winner who arrives on back of good fourth in 7f Yarmouth handicap. Goes hurdling now so not totally dismissed.
|
Modest 10f maiden on Flat but little show after 17 months off in 2m novice hurdles at Plumpton and Hereford this term. Hard to fancy.
|
Fair 12f Flat winner this winter for Mick Appleby but (50/1) made unpromising start to his hurdling career when beating only one in 2m Huntingdon novice last month. Needs significantly more.
|
Useful 10f winner on Flat who (7/1) made promising start over hurdles when second of 9 in novice at Exeter (16.8f, good) 24 days ago. Open to improvement, especially if settling better, so in the mix.
|
Twice in the frame in bumpers but has offererd little in two runs over hurdles, only eighth of 10 in 17f novice at Carlisle 29 days ago. Tongue strap on now and easily opposed.
|
Dead-heated in point and (40/1) running encouraging first race over hurdles (still close up) when falling 2 out in 2m novice at Cheltenham 21 days ago. Bold showing is on the cards.

Forecasts
Hooper (5/6), Wargrave (11/4), Found On (5/1), Le Boulevardier (10/1), Castledhem (14/1), Run After Genesis (40/1), Thinque Tank (100/1), Tigray (125/1), Brooklyn Belle (150/1)
HOOPER shaped really well when failing only narrowly to make a winning start over hurdles at Market Rasen so is taken to go one better here. Both Found On and Wargrave showed plenty on their respective hurdling bows too though so should ensure Nicky Henderson's 4-y-o doesn't have things all his own way in an intriguing maiden hurdle.
