Selected odds by:

Jack Hyde¹⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 123

1/7

Point/bumper winner who did well over hurdles last season, winning maiden/novice events at Southwell in March and good fourth of 17 in 2m Aintree handicap on final start. Hard to beat again on return.

Form: 1/43114-

Jaminska¹⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 110

11/2

Fair hurdler who ended last season with a win in a Chepstow mares' novice in March. Should go well on reappearance but will need an improved effort if Jack Hyde is on song.

Form: 4/62P71-

Majestic Moment¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryan Carver| T: D Summersby

150/1

Maiden pointer who hasn't achieved much in 2 novice hurdles this summer, finishing a remote fourth over C&D 10 days ago.

Form: 4/PP-P04

Thickthorn Tom²⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton

100/1

In top hands but possibly more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 778-

Meridian Way^h1³²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White

100/1

Little form of worth on the Flat for Charlie Johnston last year, including a handicap. Joined another good stable for hurdle career but could only consider if backed. Fitted with a first-time hood.

Form:

Shareyourbiscuits¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton

66/1

With a leading yard but comfortably held in a pair of juvenile hurdles earlier in the year. Stable also runs Thickthorn Tom.

Form: 58-

Nana Noodleman⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

17/2

Second in a point and went one better in Worcester bumper on Rules debut in June. Disappointing when a remote last of 4 on hurdle debut there the following the month but surely better than that.

Form: P2-14

Yanka Blue⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: R T Dunne| T: Mrs A M Thorpe

18/1

Confirmed she has ability when 14 lengths fourth in 2½m Sedgefield mares' maiden hurdle last week but the form is barely modest.

Form: U6853

Forecasts

Jack Hyde (1/7), Jaminska (11/2), Nana Noodleman (17/2), Yanka Blue (18/1), Shareyourbiscuits (66/1), Meridian Way (100/1), Thickthorn Tom (100/1), Majestic Moment (150/1)

This may develop into a match between previous hurdle winners JACK HYDE and Jaminska, with ready preference for the former who ran a cracker in a big-field handicap at the Aintree Grand National meeting when last seen in the spring.
