Selected odds by:

En Avant^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 106

2/15

Improved form when making a winning stable debut fitted with a tongue tie at Worcester in July. This looks a very good follow-up opportunity under a penalty.

Form: 5954-U1

Grand Auld Tune⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy

22/1

€21,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Brother to useful hurdler Happy Jacky, and half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Dreadnot. Dam unraced. Fourth sole start in point bumpers and looked in need of the experience on last month's hurdles debut.

Form: 48

Out For The Count^v1⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: J Candlish| OR: 70

50/1

Soundly beaten in 2 Irish bumpers for Philip Fenton and yet to make an impact for current yard. Visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 600-PP6

Izzy's Grey¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: C Gethings| T: J Candlish

6/1

€10,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Fingal Bay. Displayed ability when third starting out at Bangor 11 days ago.

Form: 3

Forecasts

En Avant (2/15), Izzy's Grey (6/1), Grand Auld Tune (22/1), Out For The Count (50/1)

EN AVANT immediately improved for the switch to Olly Murphy when successful at Worcester last month and this looks a gilt-edged follow-up opportunity. Izzy's Grey can chase the selection home.
