Son of Doyen who made a winning start in 12-runner novice hurdle (9/4) at Gowran (20.2f, soft) 74 days ago, forging clear from 2 out. This Irish challenger is open to a fair bit of improvement so must enter calculations.
|
Useful bumper scorer who built on his hurdling debut promise to readily land 4-runner novice at Ascot (19.3f, good) 26 days ago. Holds leading claims with more to offer.
|
Runner-up in a point and fairly useful form shown in bumpers but yet to match that level in this sphere, fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Much more is required in this company.
|
£6,500 3-y-o, Nathaniel gelding. Dam fair 1m winner. This is no easy introduction to hurdling but he's in good hands and no forlorn hope, especially if the market vibes are positive.
|
Has gone with promise when fourth in an Huntingdon bumper in the spring and also when third on his hurdles debut in 2m3f Lingfield novice 36 days ago. Very much one to consider with more to come.
|
9/2, shaped as if in need of the run when sixth of 12 in bumper here (16.3f, good to soft) on his debut 41 days ago. This Camelot gelding can build on it on his hurdles debut.
|
Fair Carlisle bumper winner in February but in need of experience when well held in novice hurdles at Ayr and Bangor last month. Can do better in the longer term.
|
€50,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Brother to fairly useful 3m hurdler Hartington and half-brother to 2 winners on Flat. Won his sole start in Irish points in October so he's a noteworthy hurdling newcomer.

Forecasts
Kripticjim (6/5), Trial By Jury (7/4), Starzand (7/2), Daydream Nation (9/2), Padre Arthur (12/1), Laurier Des Obeaux (20/1), Fiveosevensix (40/1), Peckforton Hills (100/1), Crossgales King (125/1)
A clutch of these have better days ahead of them but KRIPTICJIM sets a high standard on the form of his recent Ascot victory so is hard to side against. Hurdling debutant Trial By Jury and Irish challenger Daydream Nation could also have a say in a fascinating novice.
