Selected odds by:

Bank On Frank²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

7/1

Runner-up only start in points. Beaten 23 lengths or more in 3 novice hurdles this winter but caught the eye when third at Lingfield last time and there's likely a bigger performance in him.

Form: 2/593

Flimsy Nosebag⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

125/1

Third in an Ascot bumper in November but he has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, offering little on hurdles bow last time at Windsor where he was pulled up.

Form: 7-35P

Forlano¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: J & S Best

100/1

Placed at Kempton on second of the 4 bumpers that he contested but little impact otherwise, including on hurdles debut at Wincanton last month.

Form: 5350/0

Fravanco³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: M Goldstein| T: M Madgwick

80/1

Fair winner at 12f on Flat but only ninth at Kempton (12f) 36 days ago. Still commands respect on his hurdles debut.

Form: 69/

Saccary^h1⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

150/1

A fairly useful 10f Flat winner but yet to match that form in two hurdling runs, fifth of 8 in novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 40 days ago. Hooded for 1st time and may still do better.

Form: 05

The Long Walk⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

9/2

Fair form shown in bumpers, sixth of 10 at Windsor 46 days ago. No forlorn hope stepping up in trip for his hurdles debut.

Form: 326

Walk On High^t³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Bryan Carver| T: H Fry| OR: 114

8/13

Remains a maiden but he posted a good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 30 days ago. Solid claims.

Form: 4/F-3282

Warfleet⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: C O'Farrell| T: M Blake

125/1

Fair form shown in a trio of bumpers, seventh of 8 for his new yard at Market Rasen 91 days ago. Possibilities now going hurdling.

Form: 727

Ask Peter^t1⁵⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball

25/1

A fair 1m6f Flat winner for Charlie Johnston in 2023. Off 16 months but she still can't be ruled out now starting out over hurdles for new handler.

Form:

Le Tiep's Sacre²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore

10/3

Fairly useful form in France for David Cottin in October. Changed hands for €150,000 and made a promising start here when third of six in 2m Sandown novice three weeks ago. The one to beat.

Form: 33

Forecasts

Walk On High (8/13), Le Tiep's Sacre (10/3), The Long Walk (9/2), Bank On Frank (7/1), Ask Peter (25/1), Fravanco (80/1), Forlano (100/1), Flimsy Nosebag (125/1), Warfleet (125/1), Saccary (150/1)

LE TIEP'S SACRE shaped well starting out for Gary & Josh Moore when a recent third at Sandown and can build on it now to get off the mark. Walk On High rates much the biggest threat on the back of a good Taunton second with Bank On Frank also in the mix if, as expected, building on his Lingfield third last time out.
