5/2

Belardo gelding. Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Hawkhill. Fair on Flat, successful at Goodwood (12f) in June. Showed plenty when second of 8 starting out over hurdles at Fontwell a fortnight ago and is sure to build on that.

50/1

Brother to bumper winner Ever Present. Fair form on first of 3 starts in Flat maidens for Mrs J. Harrington. Bit disappointing after and now goes hurdling.

Form:

Mach Ten³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: Anthony Charlton

6/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) for Karl Burke. New connections went to 35,000 gns to acquire him in July and given a considerate introduction when fifth of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Wincanton 35 days ago. Can take a sizeable step forward.

Form: 5

Roi De Baviere³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

17/2

Fair maiden on Flat in France (stays 1½m), placed 3 times but well held latest outing. Left Fabrice Vermeulen €6,000 in July and sent to successful NH yard but just a reasonable hurdles debut at Newcastle.

Form: 3

You And Whose Army⁴¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: J R Jenkins

300/1

Half-brother to dual bumper winner Arthur's Seat (by Champs Elysees), stayed 27f over hurdles, dam half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Jorobaden. Tailed-off last in maiden/minor event on Flat for J. S. Moore.

Form:

Morning Air¹⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| BF

5/6

Fairly useful Flat winner, second of 5 in minor event at Lyon Parilly (10.9f, soft, 15/10). Off 6 months and first run for yard after leaving S. Wattel, she possesses the raw ability to be a major factor now hurdling.

Form:

Forecasts

Morning Air (5/6), Belcamo (5/2), Mach Ten (6/1), Roi De Baviere (17/2), Benvoy (10/1), Estate Planning (50/1), You And Whose Army (300/1)

MORNING AIR possessed her share of ability on the level in France and having transferred to a successful yard, she could well be up to the task at the first attempt over hurdles in receipt of weight from all. Belcamo's opening effort in this sphere was encouraging so he's an obvious threat, along with Mach Ten.
