Grangeclare Glory^p,t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 117

6/1

Fairly useful hurdler who failed to stay upped to 3m when fifth in handicap at Aintree 37 days ago. Not ruled out now back down in trip.

Form: 43P-125

JPR One³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 131

5/6

Debut winner at Exeter in November before excellent second of 5 in 2m novice at Cheltenham 31 days ago. Has more to offer, and he sets a good standard.

Form: 12

Hostile¹⁰¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

14/1

16/1, promising second in bumper at Warwick but off over 2 years since. Market should prove informative on his comeback/hurdles debut.

Form: 2/

Hyland³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| BF

18/1

11/5, shaped encouragingly when fourth in bumper at Ludlow 35 days ago. Makes hurdles debut stepping up in trip and no forlorn hope for leading yard.

Form: 4

Newtonian⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: O Sherwood

28/1

Fair form when placed in bumpers at Fontwell and Uttoxeter. Goes over hurdles and shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 23

Storm Lord³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

12/1

50/1 and cheekpieces on, looked green when sixth of 17 in novice at Warwick (21f, soft) on his hurdles bow 32 days ago. Can step forward.

Form: 5-6

T'Araison¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

50/1

20/1, much better effort over hurdles when fourth of 8 in novice at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 14 days ago. Needs to progress further if he's to trouble the principals, however.

Form: 04

Tango Tara⁴⁰⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

3/1

€72,000 3-y-o, £120,000 4-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Rapper. Points winner in 2020 so he needs considering for top yard.

Form: 1-

Sevenofus¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: N P Mulholland

150/1

Well held both runs over hurdles, ninth of 15 in novice at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 15 days ago. Up in trip with lots of work to do.

Form: 33P-109

Forecasts

JPR One (5/6), Tango Tara (3/1), Grangeclare Glory (6/1), Storm Lord (12/1), Hostile (14/1), Hyland (18/1), Newtonian (28/1), T'Araison (50/1), Sevenofus (150/1)

JPR ONE has made an excellent start in this sphere and is confidently expected to make it 2-3 now he steps up in trip after his excellent Cheltenham second last month. Grangeclare Glory will benefit from this return to a shorter trip and is next on the list ahead of Nicky Henderson's hurdling newcomer Hyland, who is worth a market check.
