3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable third of 8 in novice hurdle (3/1) at Limerick (21f, heavy) 32 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Worth consideration on pick of form.

Form: F2-3333

8/11

Fairly useful Flat winner who won 8-runner maiden (19/10) at Vichy (11.9f, good) 18 months ago for Francis-Henri Graffard. Yard in good form and an interesting debutant.

Form:

Find A Fortune⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

9/2

Promising individual. Fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 11/1) on hurdles bow 43 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott

9/1

Twice-raced maiden. 7/2, sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (20.2f, soft) 34 days ago. Needs another step forward.

Billericay Dickie (8/11), Beau Walking (3/1), Find A Fortune (9/2), He's Ultimate (9/1), Tramps Like Us (80/1), Inforapound (200/1)

BILLERICAY DICKIE looked a good prospect when winning on the Flat in France so is fancied to find his rhythm straight away for Willie Mullins and go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Find A Fortune also has better days ahead of him and is next best ahead of the lightly-raed Beau Walking.
