Conservative^t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

40/1

Regressive on the Flat and has shown just poor form in a pair of novice hurdles.

Form: 65

Fourtowns^p1,t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 105| BF

3/1

Fair in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, finishing third of 14 in a maiden at Warwick (19f, good) in May. Disappointed in a first-time tongue strap at Worcester

Form: 34333-5

Junior Des Mottes⁴²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

9/2

Showed fair form on his first 2 starts in bumpers for W. J. Burke. Ran below that level at Worcester on sole outing for David Brace 14 months ago but has since joined Fergal O'Brien and market signals should be heeded ahead of this hurdle debut.

Form: 37/4-

Rocky's Glory^t⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Jeffreys

6/1

Well held in bumper/4 maiden hurdles.

Rubies Or Gold^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams

50/1

Placed on the second of 2 starts in Irish bumpers (for Mags Mullins) but is probably one for later on in this sphere judged on his opening effort at Worcester 4 weeks ago.

Form: 637

Sirekoff⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 112

3/1

Matched previous form when second of 11 in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good, 16/5) 67 days ago. The winner has gone in again since and he has leading claims on first start for David Pipe.

Form: 2PP-442

Tribal Glory³⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Ben Sutton⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

3/1

Successful sole outing in points and confirmed the promise of his Rules debut when winning 7-runner bumper at Worcester (2m good to soft) 12 months ago. Not seen since but still an interesting hurdling debutant.

Form: 121-

Wonder King^h1⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Noel Williams

80/1

Hinted at ability in bumpers but was well held sent hurdling at Worcester (16f, good) in June. Hooded for 1st time.

Form: 07-0

Stage Show³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn

150/1

Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1½m. Down the field in 2 novice hurdles at Stratford and will be of more interest in handicaps after this.

Form: 78

Timely Escape²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: K Brogan| T: Alexandra Dunn

150/1

Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1¼m, well held in 2 handicaps this year.

Form:

Cheeky Lady¹¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Chad Bament⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A J Honeyball

150/1

Unpromising in points and looks best watched making Rules debut.

Form: 055/PP-P

Mutley Crew⁶⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford

150/1

Mutathir mare. Dam ran twice on Flat. 66/1, could hardly have shown any less on her belated debut here in June, losing touch long way out. Readily passed over.

Form: 9

Lady Henrietta³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

14/1

Steadily progressive in 3 bumpers but needs more now switching to hurdling.

Form: 852

Forecasts

Sirekoff (3/1), Tribal Glory (3/1), Fourtowns (3/1), Junior Des Mottes (9/2), Rocky's Glory (6/1), Lady Henrietta (14/1), Conservative (40/1), Rubies Or Gold (50/1), Wonder King (80/1), Too Sharp (100/1), Mutley Crew (150/1), Cheeky Lady (150/1), Stage Show (150/1), Timely Escape (150/1)

TRIBAL GLORY made a promising start in bumpers last summer and although he's not been seen since, his stable's runners rarely lack for fitness, so he looks one to keep on the right side now switching to hurdling. Sirekoff bumped into one that's gone in again since at Downpatrick in June and looks a big player on first start for David Pipe, with Junior des Mottes, a stablemate of the selection, another to consider.
