Selected odds by:

Duke Of Bronte²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: David Noonan| T: B R Millman| OR: 127

7/4

Useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) in 2017/18 and clearly fitter for hurdling debut after a lengthy absence when getting off the mark at Doncaster in March. Well held in a much deeper race at Aintree and has since rejoined Rod Millman after leaving Dan Skelton.

Form: 510-

Toronto^h²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁵⁾| T: B Barr

6/5

Fairly useful at best on Flat and ran to a similar level to make second hurdle start a winning one at Wincanton (15.2f) 24 days ago, pushed out. Looks capable of defying a penalty.

Form: 51-

Olly's Folly²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 78

50/1

Poor maiden on Flat and just similar form over hurdles.

Form: 38250-

Gracefull Dancer^h1⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: J D Frost

200/1

No sign of ability in bumpers. Hood added for hurdle debut.

Form: 90P-

Greystoke⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| BF

3/1

Fairly useful on the Flat at up to 1¼m. Improved on hurdling debut form when third in a Hereford juvenile (16.2f) 40 days ago and probably has a bigger effort in him if he learns to settle.

Form: 73-

Norman Kindu^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland

33/1

Fair Flat winner but well beaten both starts over hurdles.

Form: 84-

Vendange¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Houlihan| T: J Tickle

250/1

Well held sole start on Flat for Richard Hannon and no promise in novice/maiden hurdle.

Form: 09-

Forecasts

Toronto (6/5), Duke Of Bronte (7/4), Greystoke (3/1), Geni De La Cour (4/1), Norman Kindu (33/1), Olly's Folly (50/1), Gracefull Dancer (200/1), Vendange (250/1)

TORONTO took a big step forward when scoring on his second hurdle start at Wincanton 24 days ago and looks capable of defying a penalty on that evidence. Duke of Bronte has rejoined Rod Millman and will find this much less demanding than Aintree, while Greystoke probably has a bigger effort in him if he can learn to settle.
