Horse silk
50/1
13/8 and tongue strap on, showed some promise when sixth of 8 in bumper at Exeter 9 months ago. Clear when unseated last only outing in Irish points previously so he can't be discounted on his hurdles debut.

9/4
£100,000 Irish point recruit who made a winning start for new connections in Southwell bumper in December and backed it up with a very good third in similar company there in February. Very much one to consider now hurdling.

Horse silk
5/1
Fair form when runner-up twice in bumpers in the spring and he shaped well when occupying same spot on his hurdles bow at Fontwell (2m2f) 23 days ago. Well in the mix with more to offer.

13/2
Has gone with some promise in both his bumper runs, still looking in need of the experience when sixth of 11 at Newbury in March. This longer trip should suit now going hurdling. Needs considering.

£155,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam useful 19f/21f chase winner. Easily won his sole start in Irish points in May so he rates an interesting debutant in this sphere.
|
Timeform
Fair form shown in bumpers on his first two outings but only 10th in similar company at Doncaster final run. More is needed now going over hurdles for the first time.
|
Timeform
Roman Candle gelding who was runner-up in an Irish point in February and shaped well starting out in this sphere when fourth of 10 in 2m Uttoxeter novice 21 days ago. A likely player with this step up in trip a positive.

Forecasts

In The Age (9/4), Big Ticket (5/2), Marsiac (9/2), Jimmy Hurdstrom (5/1), Tiddesley Wood (13/2), Danger Nap (22/1), Arctic Conditions (50/1)

14:20 Aintree - 26 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The market should reveal plenty here but BIG TICKET ran out an easy winner of an Irish point on his sole run in May so is taken to make a winning start in this sphere for his in-form yard. Marsiac shaped with promise when fourth on his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and seems sure to go well with this longer trip also a plus, while In The Age and Tiddesley Wood are other newcomers who bring plenty of potential to an intriguing contest.
