Won his sole start between the flags and shaped encouragingly on yard/hurdling debut when fifth in 2m novice at Ffos Las in October. Failed to build on it at Fontwell 10 days ago though and little appeal here.

Has shown promise both runs in bumpers, still looking in need of the experience when (evens) third of 7 at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) 8 months ago. Not without interest now going hurdling.

Placed in a point but only ninth of 14 in novice hurdle here (16f, good to firm) on NH debut 26 days ago. Should do better in due course.

7/1, promising second of 8 in bumper here (16f, good) on his debut 7 months ago. This son of Kapgarde must enter calculations on his hurdles debut.

Jet Away gelding. Dam poor hurdler (3m winner, stayed 3¼m). The market can guide.

£82,000 Cokoriko gelding who built on debut promise when emphatically landing a valuable bumper at Newbury (form been franked) in March. Has plenty about him physically and rates an exciting hurdling prospect.

Winning Irish pointer who made a promising start in this sphere when third of 15 in novice hurdle here (16f, good to firm) 26 days ago, running on having been badly hampered 3 out. This Getaway gelding holds very good form claims.

Runner-up in an Irish point but had a breathing operation after and has shown little since in a bumper at Ffos Las in the spring and novice hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago.

Won his sole start in Irish points in May and showed useful form in going 3-3 in bumpers, completing his hat-trick in listed event at Newbury in February. Goes hurdling now with lots of potential.

Dead-heated in an Irish point but pulled up in novice hurdle (22/1) at Kelso (20.9f, soft) on his NH debut 7 months ago. Lots more is required.

Debut Wincanton bumper winner last October and posted a very good second in similar company at Taunton 8 months ago. Tongue tied for his hurdles bow and can't be ruled out.

Soldier of Fortune gelding who jumped none too fluently but still built on his debut when fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, soft) 6 months ago. Can do better again this season.

Fetched €72,000 as a 3-y-o and he's closely related to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Del La Mar Rocket but was very green when last of 6 in novice hurdle at Sandown (16f, soft, 17/2) on NH debut 8 months ago. Sort to improve in the longer term.

14:30 Chepstow - 5 November 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Lots of these bring potential, not least Dan Skelton's KADASTRAL who looked a really good hurdling prospect when a stylish winner of a valuable Newbury bumper (form worked out very well) in the spring. He can edge out Sober Glory, who created an excellent impression in going unbeaten in a trio of bumpers last term, and promising debut third Matty's Getaway. Other hurdling debutants Grand Garcon, Forward Thinking and Tennessee Tango also command plenty of respect in a fascinating contest.
