Beat The Heat²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle

40/1

Fair Flat winner but he came in only seventh in this new discipline in 2m Kempton novice hurdle 22 days ago. Needs to step forward now.

Form: 7

Eevilynn Drew³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: R Eddery

80/1

Fair 7f Flat winner. Comes here fit from the level but has his stamina to prove now going hurdling.

Form:

Finoah^h¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: Martin Smith

125/1

Fairly useful at best but out of form on Flat this year (temperamental). Little promise on both his hurdles runs too, so it's easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 0-6

Great Ocean⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| BF

7/1

Winning Irish pointer who shaped encouragingly when sixth of 10 in bumper at Newton Abbot (9/4) on NH debut 40 days ago. Makes hurdles debut now, and he's worth considering.

Form: 331-6

King Arise²²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| D

12/1

Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Flindt. Dam unraced. In very good hands and winner of his sole start in points, so he can't be discounted now going hurdling.

Form: 1-

Lydford^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| BF

11/8

Useful 12f handicapper on Flat for Roger Varian who made a promising start in this sphere on back of wind op when runner-up in 2m Leicester novice. In excellent hands, and he can go one better now.

Form: 2

Midnight Centurion⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| BF

1/1

Runner-up in two bumpers before occupying same position on his hurdling bow at Uttoxeter (2m) last month. Winner has gone in since, so he's sure to make his presence felt again.

Form: 22-2

Radetzky March¹⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

50/1

Fair form shown in two bumpers, hooded/tongue tied when fifth over C&D in May. Makes hurdles debut now, and he's no forlorn hope for good yard.

Form: F4P/F4-5

Tre A Peni¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

150/1

Bred to have ability but there's been little sign of it in a brace of bumpers and novice hurdles. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 0-9P7

Forecasts

Midnight Centurion (1/1), Lydford (11/8), Great Ocean (7/1), King Arise (12/1), Beat The Heat (40/1), Radetzky March (50/1), Eevilynn Drew (80/1), Finoah (125/1), Tre A Peni (150/1)

LYDFORD had some fairly useful Flat form to his name and also made a promising bow in this sphere when runner-up at Leicester so is taken to go one better now. Midnight Centurion also showed plenty on his first go over hurdles at Uttoxeter though so should ensure the Skelton's new recruit doesn't have things all his own way. Hurdling-debutants Great Ocean and King Arise need considering too.
