20/1

Half-brother to fair hurdler Tara Iti (2m-2¼m winner, by Sixties Icon). Modest maiden at best on Flat and, easy to back, offered little in Plumpton juvenile on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Tongue tie goes on now.

9/4

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) who ran up to best when second at Pontefract (12f) in July. Below best back there later that month but since joined a yard that do well with their recruits in this sphere, so no surprise to see him make an impact.

Kilcummin^b⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: Mark Gillard

50/1

Fair maiden on the Flat but showed nothing both starts in juvenile hurdles upon joining present yard this summer and again finished well held back on the Flat at Salisbury (14.2f) in August. Can only be watched.

6/5

Fair maiden on the Flat for Andrew Balding and he surpassed his previous hurdles exploits for this yard when staying on for second in a Plumpton juvenile (17.7f) 12 days ago. Shade flattered by proximity to winner then but solid claims with a repeat. Visor on 1st time.

Makanao^p1,t1⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

4/1

Postponed gelding. Dam half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler (2¼m-19f winner) Mojo Moon. Fair on Flat in France (stays 12.5f), well held in minor event last time. No surprise to see him feature now hurdling for new yard with tongue tie added to cheekpieces.

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins

25/1

Last of 5 in novice event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut 81 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams and now tackles obstacles.

Form:

Vale Dolobo Dancer^p1,t1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien

20/1

Mastercraftsman gelding. Modest form on Flat, tailed off at Ripon (12f) when last seen 31 days ago. Goes hurdling now for new yard and the betting may prove a useful guide as to expectations.

Logistical (6/5), Cosmic View (9/4), Makanao (4/1), Biscoff Joe (20/1), Vale Dolobo Dancer (20/1), Pigeonton (25/1), Kilcummin (50/1)

The market should prove a useful guide in relation to the hurdles debutants but COSMIC VIEW (a fair maiden on the Flat) starts out for a yard that do particularly well in this sphere and he shades the vote without the benefit of market clues. Logistical has an experience edge over most and he, along with David Pipe's Makanao head up the dangers.
