7/1

Fair 10f winner on Flat for Ed Vaughan and made winning hurdles bow over 2m at Catterick in January 2020. Added 3 further victories on the level since and he just about sets standard back over timber.

Form: 12/

Lakota Warrior²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Williams| T: D Skelton

9/2

Nothing flash in bumpers and could manage only eighth of 12 starting out over hurdles at Aintree 3 weeks ago. In top hands and is capable of better.

Form: 2/46-8

Largy Reach¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

17/2

Cost £30,000 after finishing third in a point in May. Promising start under Rules when runner-up in a bumper at Bangor 18 days ago and of obvious interest on this quick switch to hurdling.

Form: 32

Sauce Of Life²²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| D

8/11

Showed fairly useful form in winning both his bumper starts last season, so rates an interesting recruit to hurdling for in-form yard (bred for the job).

Form: 11-

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 5p in the pound

Forecasts

Sauce Of Life (8/11), Rory And Me (3/1), Lakota Warrior (9/2), The Dancing Poet (7/1), Largy Reach (17/2)

SAUCE OF LIFE looked a good prospect when winning both bumpers starts last term and, bred for the job and in excellent hands, he has a lot in his favour. Those with experience over obstacles do not set the pulse racing, so Largy Reach could be the main danger.
