Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Potter

28/1

Offered little in 3 Flat runs for David Evans last year but took to hurdling when 1¼ lengths third of 5 to reopposing pair On The Bubble and Kaaress at Hexham (2m, soft) 13 days ago.

Form: 3

Kalkaroo²⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Billy Aprahamian

18/1

Sent off at 100/1 when well held only start on Flat for Paul Webber last summer. Has been gelded ahead of hurdle debut.

Form:

On The Bubble^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

20/1

1m Flat winner at Redcar this spring and edged out the reopposing Kaaress when making a successful start over hurdles at Hexham (2m, soft) 13 days ago. 7 lb worse off Kaaress this time.

Form: 1

Play Pretend

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts

25/1

Related to a couple of hurdle winners but a watching brief is advised on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form:

Smooth Transition⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: A Keatley

10/1

Fair form in 3 outings on the Flat, finishing third in a 1m Thirsk maiden on his reappearance a week ago. Shrewd stable wastes no time switching him to hurdles.

Form:

Tactical Control³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse

9/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 8.5f), creditable fifth at Nottingham last month. Respected hurdle newcomer.

Form:

Trafalgar Square^t⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

11/1

Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat and should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this if taking to his new discipline.

Form:

Happy Place²⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

7/2

Reached the frame in Flat maidens at up to 1m for Harry Eustace last autumn and has joined a leading stable ahead of this switch to hurdles. Player.

Form:

Kaaress¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: B S Hughes| T: Ollie Pears| BF

5/1

Four-time Flat winner at up to 1¼m and went very close to striking on her first attempt over hurdles at Hexham (2m, soft) 13 days ago, going down by a nose to the reopposing On The Bubble. 7 lb better off with Ben Haslam's filly this time.

Form: 2

Nobodys Girl¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Craig Nichol| T: B Ellison

80/1

Little impact in half-a-dozen starts on Flat and unseated at the second on her recent Hexham hurdle debut.

Form: U

Opec⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: James Owen

9/4

Modest maiden on the Flat but still no surprise were she up to making an impact over hurdles for a stable which has enjoyed juvenile success in these silks.

Form:

Scottie's Sister²³²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

33/1

Poor form in 3 outings over 7f on the Flat last autumn. Probably best watched now hurdling unless the betting vibes are strong.

Forecasts

Opec (9/4), Happy Place (7/2), Kaaress (5/1), Tactical Control (9/1), Smooth Transition (10/1), Trafalgar Square (11/1), Kalkaroo (18/1), On The Bubble (20/1), Play Pretend (25/1), Bajan New Moon (28/1), Scottie's Sister (33/1), Nobodys Girl (80/1)

A chance is taken on Dan Skelton hurdle debutante HAPPY PLACE, who was placed on the Flat last year for her previous stable. Smooth Transition and Tactical Control are other likely types among the hurdle newcomers, while Kaaress may prove best of the 4 who contested the opening juvenile hurdle of the season at Hexham at the start of the month.
