1/4
Has looked a smart prospect when winning a Newcastle bumper and C&D novice hurdle. This exciting prospect should make it 3-3.

Placed in points. Better effort in bumpers 6 months apart when third of 4 at Down Royal 31 days ago but the form is only modest. Hurdle debut. Takenasred looks the stable first string.

In the frame in a couple of points but down the field in a couple of outings over hurdles this autumn.

Made an encouraging start to his career when second in a Uttoxeter bumper for Tom George in May. Shaped as if needing the run when well held on C&D hurdle debut for Nick Alexander 5 months later. May do better

€47,000 son of Wings And Eagles. Represents a top owner but will need to pretty smart to lower the colours of Upon Tweed.

Looked pretty useful when winning 3 of 4 handicap chase starts in 2023 but hasn't been seen since so a watching brief is the percentage call returned to hurdles.

Dual bumper winner this summer. That made his Galway hurdle debut sixth in August a little disappointing but no surprise were he to prove a different proposition back from 4 months off.

Has failed to make a significant impact in bumpers but fair form both starts over hurdles, returning from 5 months off to finish second of 12 at Down Royal (17f, good to soft) 30 days ago.

Irish point winner. Better effort in soft-ground C&D novice hurdles last month when sixth of 14 19 days ago. May do better again but seems unlikely to be of real interest until handicapping.

UPON TWEED created a very good impression on his C&D hurdle debut and is likely to remain unbeaten. Stede Bonnet's bumper ability suggests he's better than he showed on his Galway hurdle debut and he's taken to fill the forecast spot ahead of Takenasred. Like Minded is a newcomer to note in the betting.
