Selected odds by:

Scrappy Jack³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 113

4/1

Winner of 2 juveniles at Newton Abbot last month but suspicion a double penalty might make him vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 411

Colden's Passion³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard

28/1

Fair maiden on Flat. Last 2 efforts in that sphere disappointing but hails from a good yard so still respected now hurdling.

Form:

Devious Dreamer^t1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: D P Quinn

22/1

Fair on Flat in Ireland (stays 1m), winning over 7f at Gowran in June. Sports a tongue tie now hurdling for new yard. Market perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Form:

Fred Bear²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 105| BF

6/5

Fair form when runner-up in similar events last twice (C&D latterly). Likely to be bang there once again.

Form: 422

Nayon^h1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: R Eddery

250/1

Yet to show anything on the Flat so a few flights of hurdles need to make a big difference.

Form:

Rhythmic Blues²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby

40/1

Has shown ability when fifth in maiden/novice events over 1m on the Flat. Check betting now hurdling.

Form:

Scots Gold¹¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

3/1

Fair maiden at up to 1¼m on the Flat for Tom Dascombe. Has joined Dan Skelton and rates a likely type for juvenile hurdles.

Form:

Sir Taweel^t⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King

14/1

Fair 1m winner on the Flat for Mohamed Moubarak. Another who could play a part now switching his attention to hurdles.

Form:

Aliomaana^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris

12/1

Fair form when reaching the frame on AW Flat for John & Thady Gosden but well held setting out for this yard at Kempton 19 days ago. Quickly switches to hurdles in bid to get back on track.

Form:

Fiamette^v1¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: Miss J S Davis

200/1

Little impact in 3 Flat outings for Anthony Carson ahead of this switch to timber for a new trainer.

Form:

Lanika²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: G Brown

100/1

Modest and long-standing maiden on the Flat (stays 1½m). Not an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles.

Forecasts

Fred Bear (6/5), Scots Gold (3/1), Scrappy Jack (4/1), Aliomaana (12/1), Sir Taweel (14/1), Devious Dreamer (22/1), Colden's Passion (28/1), Rhythmic Blues (40/1), Lanika (100/1), Fiamette (200/1), Nayon (250/1)

SCOTS GOLD achieved more than enough on the Flat to suggest he can make his presence felt in juvenile hurdles and gets the vote for the Dan Skelton team. Fred Bear is the pick of those with hurdle form, ahead of Scrappy Jack.
