Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D McCain Jnr| D

Golden Poet⁹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| D

Good Bye^v²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris

12/1

Modest hurdler. 50/1 and visored first time, ran well when second of 8 in similar event over C&D 24 days ago. Ought to be bang there again.

Form: 766302

Leith Hill Lad^p,t1¹²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: R Bandey

66/1

Lightly raced in recent years. Seemed to lose confidence over fences for Charlie Longsdon and offered little back hurdling for new yard. Tongue strap on first time.

Form: 5P/PP-60

Lisronagh Stone^b⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson

200/1

Point winner but has shown next to nothing over hurdles. Hard to warm to.

Form: 000-PP9

Nye Bevan^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Jamie Neild⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

14/1

Modest hurdler. 33/1 and tongue strap on first time, never a threat when seventh of 13 in C&D bumper 14 days ago.

Form: 8-P0807

Volunteer⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: S L Keightley

15/2

Form: 802-005

Zamperini^v¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| D

7/4

Pair of hurdle wins early last season. Pulled up both starts since returning from an absence in recent weeks but the fact he's been placed here on AW makes him a dangerous one to discount.

Form: 6/121-PP

Josie Abbing⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams

40/1

Modest hurdler. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Stratford (19f, good to soft) 95 days ago. Won a bumper at the start of her career.

Form: 737-997

Nightfly^p,t⁵²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Aidan Coleman| T: C E Longsdon| DWS

6/1

Useful chaser in her prime. Seemingly not the force of old but is potentially quite a classy sort for a race like this. Runner-up in a 2 turf bumpers at start of career. Has had wind op.

Form: 5/6-5F36

Forecasts

Zamperini (7/4), Nightfly (6/1), Billy's Angel (7/1), Caspers Court (15/2), Volunteer (15/2), Court Jurado (17/2), Good Bye (12/1), Nye Bevan (14/1), Josie Abbing (40/1), Golden Poet (50/1), Leith Hill Lad (66/1), Lisronagh Stone (200/1)

GOOD BYE split a couple of half decent Flat performers in one of these last month so gets the nod to build on that. Nightfly, Volunteer and Court Jurado are others to consider in an extremely trappy contest.
