Fair Flat winner in France and belied market weakness when making successful start over hurdles at Taunton in March. Defied a penalty with ease there last time and remains open to improvement.

Frascato Bello^h⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill

80/1

Well held in 2 bumpers a year apart and was badly in need of the experience on his first go at hurdling at Market Rasen 42 days ago, refusing to settle.

Form: 4/05-

Gadjet D'ainay³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

40/1

€80,000 purchase from good NH family. Promising start when second in 2m Uttoxeter novice hurdle but disappointed upped in trip on less testing ground at Warwick last time.

Form: 20-

Guy De Guye¹⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard

22/1

Had wind op prior to finishing seventh of 9 in 2m novice hurdle (17/2) at Warwick (soft) on NH debut in November. Should do better in time.

Form: 7-

Master Mead⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Alexandra Dunn

250/1

Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle 18 months apart.

Form: 6/0-

Trailboss³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

11/4

Fairly useful winner on Flat who showed he retains ability when third in a C&D novice hurdle last month, not unduly punished. Should improve.

Form: 2/3-

Colden's Dream

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: David England| T: D Skelton

40/1

Ocovango gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Kissesforkatie. Market can guide on debut.

Form:

Lion's Vigil^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Jay Tidball⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W G M Turner

66/1

Fair stayer on Flat but ran below form on stable debut last time so perhaps best watched on this switch to hurdling.

Form:

Man Of Light²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White

5/1

Fair form for James Fanshawe on Flat, standout effort at 9.5f. Made a fair start over hurdles when fourth over C&D last month and is in good hands, so may improve.

Form: 4-

Forecasts

Tulin (10/11), Trailboss (11/4), Man Of Light (5/1), Flamenco De Kerser (10/1), Guy De Guye (22/1), Colden's Dream (40/1), Gadjet D'ainay (40/1), Lion's Vigil (66/1), Frascato Bello (80/1), Master Mead (250/1)

TULIN didn't need to improve to defy a penalty at Taunton, but he gave the impression there is plenty more to come, so the hat-trick beckons. Trailboss and Man of Light are both entitled to build on their respective hurdling debuts and head the opposition.
