Selected odds by:

Al Zaraqaan^h⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Watson

4/5

Useful on the Flat (stays 1½m) and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on his hurdles debut over C&D last week, despite refusing to settle. Open to improvement.

Form: 2

Arturus^t²³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

11/1

Poor in bumpers and didn't fare a great deal better sent hurdling at Fairyhouse in November. First run for yard after leaving Paul Hennessy. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 8/88-

Kanukankan⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 104

13/2

Possesses plenty of ability but doesn't help himself, headstrong to post and in the race when fourth at Uttoxeter (15.8f) on reappearance in June.

Form: U6/59-4

Olly's Folly¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 94

14/1

Very limited on the Flat but has improved over hurdles this summer, albeit at a modest level, beaten only a length when third in 5-runner novice at Stratford on latest start in June.

Form: 250-333

Rolled In Gold⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Simon Edwards

250/1

Unpromising in points and well held completed start over hurdles.

Form: 0/P9-P6

Trolley Boy²¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland

5/2

Confirmed the promise of his debut (strong form) when making all in 11-runner bumper at Newcastle (14.3f, good) in December, just holding on. Subsequently sold out of Edward Bethell's yard for 50,000 gns and possesses the size for jumping.

Form: 21-

Blitz Spirit³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Philip Armson⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn

100/1

Fair form on the Flat in France, though shaped as if amiss when well held on stable debut last time. Makes hurdles debut and probably best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

Forecasts

Al Zaraqaan (4/5), Trolley Boy (5/2), Kanukankan (13/2), Arturus (11/1), Olly's Folly (14/1), Blitz Spirit (100/1), Rolled In Gold (250/1)

TROLLEY BOY showed plenty in bumpers and has the size for jumping, so he's taken to make a successful start in this sphere for a new stable after 7 months off (sold from Edward Bethell for 50,000 gns). Al Zaraqaan looks the main threat having shaped with plenty of encouragement on last week's hurdling debut over C&D. Kanukankan is capable of having a say too despite his headstrong ways.
