Selected odds by:

First Glance²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

7/2

Winning pointer who shaped with encouragement when fourth in a Kelso bumper 24 days ago. Longer trip and switch to obstacles should suit, so she's a definite player.

Form: P1-4

Flames Of Passion²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

16/1

Ex-pointer who has offered a glimmer of promise in a couple of hurdling outings but looks more of a handicap type.

Form: 2/66

Forthegreatergood^p,t⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 106

2/1

Winning Irish pointer, in the frame in bumpers, and left previous hurdling efforts behind when second in a C&D novice 48 days ago. Should go well again.

Form: 134/P3-2

Kazontherazz²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: M Keighley

9/4

Half-sister to a fairly useful hurdler and has set a solid foundation with some fair efforts in bumpers, so warrants plenty of respect having her first go over hurdles.

Form: 392-2

Luck Of The Duck⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis

16/1

Down the field in a bumper on debut for Sean Thomas Doyle and, while placed between the flags subsequently, she's hard to make a strong case for on hurdling debut for a new yard.

Form: 83P-2

September Daisy²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

28/1

Bred to come good in time and has hinted at ability in 3 outings to date. Hard to see her featuring in this, though.

Form: 64-8

Legendary Grace²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

9/1

Displayed some ability as well as temperament in bumpers. Modest form over hurdles and likely vulnerable this side of handicaps.

Form: 2R50-64

Forecasts

Forthegreatergood (2/1), Kazontherazz (9/4), First Glance (7/2), Legendary Grace (9/1), Italian Summer (10/1), Luck Of The Duck (16/1), Flames Of Passion (16/1), September Daisy (28/1)

FIRST GLANCE landed a point in April, then made a pleasing switch to Rules when fourth in a bumper at Kelso, so she's worth chancing now going hurdling over a trip that should be more suitable. Kazontherazz is another notable newcomer to this sphere and Forthegreatergood is the obvious pick of those with hurdles form in the book.
