Selected odds by:
Fairly useful chaser who doubled his tally in that discipline at Stratford 17 days ago. Just 1 lb higher back hurdling, so big player if he can replicate that form.
|
Successful on the Flat and over hurdles for Gordon Elliott, and hit the frame on first two outings for current yard. Disappointing since but cheekpieces could perk him up.
|
Fair form over hurdles in France but hasn't been seen for 14 months and handicapper has taken no chances with opening mark. Warrants a market check all the same.
|
Fair form when placed both starts in bumpers and similar form both starts over hurdles. Up in trip switched to handicaps after a break, so he's a likely improver.
|
Fair hurdler who looked as good, if not better than ever when runner-up at Exeter 23 days ago. Could do with another step forward from a mark that appears to sum him up.
|
Showed fair form when third in a Plumpton novice hurdle in January 2019 but disappointing on both subsequent outings, leaving him with plenty to prove.
|
Appears to be getting his act together over hurdles and found only one too good at Ludlow in March. That form looks strong (winner and fourth successful since), so another big run is expected.
|
Low-mileage 7-y-o who improved in first-time cheekpieces when scoring on return at Ayr (19.5f, heavy) in November. Subsequent tame run at Wincanton perhaps just a blip, so he's not one to dismiss.
|
Fair winner at best but hasn't been on his game of late.
|
Twice raced in France for Francois Nicolle and has made a positive start in juvenile hurdles over here, runner-up at Newbury on latest outing. Could be well-in now handicapping up in trip.
|
Gamely won handicap at this course on debut over fences in November, but poor efforts since, again pulled up at Hereford last time. Returns to smaller obstacles now.
|
Dual 20f hurdle winner in 2018 but lightly raced since and has offered little this season.
|
Point winner who displayed fair level of ability over hurdles. Limited impact completed starts over fences this term but return to this sphere could help.

Forecasts
Saint Palais (15/8), Joueur Bresilien (11/2), Steady Away (15/2), Winged Isle (8/1), Those Tiger Feet (8/1), Steady The Ship (9/1), Kuraka (14/1), Montanna (25/1), Eclair Des Sablons (25/1), Lamanver Bel Ami (33/1), Tres Francais (40/1), Coastal Drift (40/1), Wax And Wane (50/1), Olympic Honour (150/1)
SAINT PALAIS' juvenile hurdle form looks pretty solid and he promises to be well suited by the step up in trip, so he makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut with the added benefit of weight for age. Steady The Ship is another likely improver and the in-form Winged Isle warrants respect.
