Boulette⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

17/2

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 13f), creditable effort last time for J. S. Bolger. Stamina won't be an issue now hurdling.

Form:

Business Flight¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: G Brown

200/1

Fair maiden at best on Flat, but has lost his way.

Form:

Corporal Jones³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

15/8

Didn't race on the Flat and made an encouraging start when second of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Open to progress.

Form: 2

Gavin^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: Joe Ponting

66/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for Rod Millman. Hooded but still too free to see it out on hurdles debut.

Form: 8

Keepyourdreamsbig³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

7/4

Promising start when second of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) on debut 38 days ago. That is just about the best form on offer.

Form: 2

Nazwa³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood

10/1

Held back by inexperience when mid-field in minor event on Flat for David Simcock. Also looked in need of the run at Stratford sent hurdling.

Form: 5

Vunipola²⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

17/2

Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2¼m winner) Vorashann. Fair form on first of 2 starts in minor events on Flat at 2 yrs for Brian Meehan.

Form:

Dark Motive³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

7/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for Ralph Beckett who displayed an aptitude for hurdling when fourth at Stratford a month ago. Likely to build on that.

Form: 4

Free Degrees^p1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies

125/1

Has looked limited in varied company. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 5P

Sentilly³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn

200/1

Of very little account.

Form: 67

Forecasts

Keepyourdreamsbig (7/4), Corporal Jones (15/8), Dark Motive (7/1), Boulette (17/2), Vunipola (17/2), Nazwa (10/1), Gavin (66/1), Free Degrees (125/1), Business Flight (200/1), Sentilly (200/1)

Neither KEEPYOURDREAMSBIG nor Corporal Jones raced on the Flat but made encouraging starts when runner-up in juvenile company over hurdles. The former is marginally preferred, with Vunipola another one to consider starting out in this sphere.
