Selected odds by:

Cochise²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West

16/1

Fairly useful Flat winner but little in the way of promise both hurdles starts during the autumn.

Form: P7

Constant Friday³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Rowe

28/1

Won Irish point on debut in May but long odds both outings over hurdles and merely hinted at promise. Back up in trip.

Form: 1-06

Devonshire Rocco²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood

50/1

Limited impact in a bumper and maiden hurdle 11 months apart.

Form: 0-5

Pumpkin's Pride³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: A King

11/2

Broke a blood vessel when seventh in a bumper at Market Rasen in May. Off 6 months after and failed to land a meaningful blow on hurdles debut at Warwick, but that run wasn't devoid of promise.

Form: 76

Sandy Brook⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 115

11/8

Off the mark at second attempt in bumpers and shaped with promise sent hurdling when runner-up at Fontwell in March (17.7f). Disappointing effort at Uttoxeter in October but he can bounce back.

Form: 5/312-3

Scrumpy Boy¹²³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 72

66/1

Long-standing maiden absent over 3 years and would be better off in a basement-level handicap. Stable debut.

Form: 755442/

Whistleinthedark⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: R G Hawker

7/2

Placed in Irish points and caught the eye of the stewards when given a considerate introduction to hurdling in February. Went with zest when second at Worcester in September and since moved yards.

Form: 324-2

Wild Wilbur²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

33/1

Presenting brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdler Champagne Gold, but looks a work-in-progress so far.

Form: U5

Millie's Flying³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Miss Sarah Robinson

300/1

Lightly raced and shown little in the way of ability.

Form: 00/9-6

Mis Casey⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Matthew Batchelor| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR: 76

250/1

Little to shout about so far.

Form: 0PV79-9

The Trampolinist¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & S Best

10/3

Stoutly-bred mare who won bumper at Uttoxeter on debut. Runner-up next 2 starts in that discipline and improved on opening hurdles effort when third at Lingfield following a wind op. One to beat.

Form: 122-53

Forecasts

Sandy Brook (11/8), The Trampolinist (10/3), Whistleinthedark (7/2), Pumpkin's Pride (11/2), Cochise (16/1), Constant Friday (28/1), Wild Wilbur (33/1), Devonshire Rocco (50/1), Scrumpy Boy (66/1), Mis Casey (250/1), Millie's Flying (300/1)

There's more to come from THE TRAMPOLINIST over hurdles, particularly as her stamina is drawn out, and in receipt of weight from most, she is the most persuasive option. Sandy Brook was disappointing at Uttoxeter but he ought to be a factor at this level, with Whistleinthedark also of interest for his new yard.
