Selected odds by:
Maiden Irish pointer, runner-up last time (Dec 1). The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling for Fergal O'Brien.
|
Made a winning bumper debut here last February and bettered that form when third of 20 in a valuable event at Newbury 6 weeks later. Only a modest third on his completed start over hurdles but he should have bigger performances in him soon.
|
Promising third of 8 in 2m Thurles maiden hurdle on debut in November. Not in the same form when a well-held sixth at Down Royal on Boxing Day but retains potential now starting out for Stuart Edmunds.
|
Unplaced both starts in points and remote sixth on Huntingdon hurdle debut 15 days ago. Outsider.
|
Fairly useful Flat winner for Richard Hannon but well beaten on Leicester hurdle debut (heavy) for new yard 17 days ago. The likely less testing ground now may see him in a better light.
|
Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m) and has shaped well in maidens at Wincanton and Taunton switched to hurdles. Likely would have won at the latter track but for losing momentum at the last and can gain compensation now.
|
Bumper winner last summer but beaten a long way when reaching the frame in hurdles at Wetherby and Wincanton this winter. Surely capable of better at some point but possibly not until handicapping.
|
Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m). Sold out of Roger Varian's yard for 80,000 gns in October. Interesting new recruit for Emma Lavelle and Harry Cobden takes the ride.
|
Promising third of 11 in a Downpatrick bumper for Paul Nolan in September but comfortably held in novice hurdles for Nick Gifford in recent months.
|
Well held in 2 bumpers last spring and similar story on C&D hurdle debut in November.
|
No show in a bumper and maiden hurdle before Christmas.
|
Fair maiden at best on the Flat but hasn't offered a great deal in his 2 hurdle starts. First-time blinkers need to spark major improvement.
|
Well held in varied events on Flat and 150/1 when pulled up on Plumpton hurdle debut 11 days ago.
|
Fair AW Flat winner. Has had wind surgery ahead of this hurdle debut.

Forecasts
High Fibre (10/11), Andashan (10/3), Absolutely Doyen (11/2), Indemnity (11/2), Busy Being Busy (20/1), Graham (22/1), I'd Go Maniac (40/1), Killarney Lake (100/1), Low Expectations (125/1), George Darling (150/1), Bluenose Belle (150/1), Sgian Dubh (250/1), Rocks Up Late (250/1), Now I Know (300/1), Simply Ed (300/1)
Plenty of runners but it's unlikely many count. HIGH FIBRE is the obvious one after 2 promising runs over hurdles, although Indemnity could pose a threat if translating his pretty useful Flat ability to hurdles at the first time of asking. Andashan should have more to come in this sphere and is next on the list.
- High Fibre10/11
- Indemnity11/2
- Andashan10/3
