33/1 |
Basilette
Won run-of-the-mill Stratford bumper (good ground) on debut last summer but is 0-14 on the Flat in the meantime, and her recent defeats have come off lowly marks; wore either cheekpieces or blinkers for last five races; goes without headgear for this hurdling debut.

Definite Dream
0-9 in points; made the frame in three Worcester hurdles this summer (2m-2m4f, good) but her form isn't anything to get too excited about and another minor role might be her best hope.

Hurst Hill
Came third in two modest novice hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft/good) in the spring but needs to improve to land a telling blow here.

Mavis Pike
Shaped with promise in bumpers in 2023 and on both hurdling starts last season, more recently when third at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) in March; has a bit to find here but ought to cope better than a few of these if the ground turns soft/heavy.

O'Malley
Kept on for respectable third in good-ground Worcester bumper in August, her third start, and should have a future over jumps but others in this field have more compelling form.

Roaring Home
Made the frame in all three bumpers, and the form of her close second at Southwell (good) in May has been very well advertised over hurdles by the winner this summer; also has form on soft ground; needs to be taken very seriously on hurdling debut.

66/1 |
As Fast As Wind
Fair on the Flat at her best in Ireland (stayed at least 1m4f) but remains a maiden after 15 runs and has become rather disappointing this year; well beaten when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) in August; has a quite a bit to prove on stable/hurdle debut.

Flyover
Tailed off in Newton Abbot bumper for Mitchell Hunt in May; now with Tim Vaughan; tongue-tie fitted for hurdling debut.

Leloopa
Showed promise in Irish bumpers in the spring (placed on soft ground) and has made the frame on both hurdling starts for Fergal O'Brien, more notably when close second at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month; likely to play a significant role here too.

Soleil D'arizona
Won on Flat debut in France in spring 2023 and was placed in 1m4f handicap there on latest outing just under a year ago, after which she changed hands for 50,000euros; unraced on ground quicker than good to soft; an interesting recruit to hurdling for Dan Skelton.
