3/1

Fair maiden on the level for Harry & Roger Charlton and has shown similar form when placed in a trio of juvenile hurdles. Should be on the premises again.

Form: 232

Kourosh⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

8/11

Fair winner on Flat in Germany, stays 1¾m, creditable second in handicap last time. Has left Bohumil Nedorostek and joined top yard, so worth taking a chance on.

Form:

Mandega¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond

50/1

Fair Flat winner but he came in last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham in August and didn't offer much encouragement at Sedgefield on hurdling debut. Others preferred.

Form: 4

Normy Knight¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: M & D Easterby

33/1

Only fifth in a junior bumper at Aintree recently and will need to step up markedly if he's to make a serious impact on hurdling debut.

Form: 5

Star Turn²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: A King

15/2

Looked limited on the Flat but showed a lot more when runner-up in a juvenile at Ludlow on hurdling debut. Open to improvement, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 2

Yorkstone⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: M & D Easterby

13/2

Fair on Flat and still in top form when last seen in that sphere 49 days ago. Could feature if he takes to this new discipline.

Kourosh (8/11), I'm Too Tired (3/1), Yorkstone (13/2), Star Turn (15/2), Normy Knight (33/1), Mandega (50/1)

KOUROSH won on the Flat in Germany and is from the family of a winning hurdler, so he might well be able to make a successful start in this sphere. Star Turn is the obvious danger and I'm Too Tired can't be ruled out for all that he's a bit more exposed.
