Form & Verdict
In the frame in all six starts and only beaten 2l into fourth of ten in a 0-100 handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good) 13 days ago; big chance if reproducing that sort of form back in a maiden for last year's winning stable.

Prevailed in second-time hood at Taunton (2m, good) most recently, adding to his Flat win, and may have more to offer in the retained headgear; in deeper waters today but could go well.

Won a Goodwood maiden for Andrew Balding in June (1m6f, good to firm); improved on first hurdles run when neck second over C&D last time (heavy; hood tried); headgear retained; this faster is ground likely to suit; one with a chance.

Useful peak RPR of 94 on the Flat for Andrew Balding; ran to a fair level when last of three finishers on Exeter hurdle debut (heavy) eight weeks ago and should prove capable of better, particularly if a first-time hood helps him to settle better through the early stages than he did on that occasion.

Green when fourth of six on his Salisbury debut (1m4f, good to firm) early last month, but improved when beaten 2l into third of ten at Haydock (1m4f, good) three weeks ago (runner-up has won since); this brother to the smart stayer Coltrane should enjoy the step up in trip; major player.

0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; encouraging third on hurdling/stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March but he failed to build on that when a remote fourth at Hexham (2m, good); has something to prove after that and this looks tough on the figures; equipment returns including a first-time tongue-tie.

J: Paddy Bradley

T: James Owen

Fairly useful chaser who is 5-17 in that sphere, but he was a big price on Flat debut at Goodwood (1m6f maiden) two weeks ago and finished a well-held fourth of seven; that wasn't bad after a slow start but this is a daunting task in this Listed event and he has stacks to find on the figures.

Form & Verdict
Showed plenty of promise when third of 11 at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last September, but having been gelded he finished well held on his Leicester return (1m2f, good) in April; needs to benefit from the big step up in trip and application of cheekpieces.

2-3 in bumpers and 5-11 over hurdles after leading late on in the Swinton (good); that was in a first-time tongue-tie that was also on when winning a 2m AW handicap in late May; off just 4lb higher than at Haydock, he's very much in the mix.

Bumper and pretty useful hurdle winner, including at Haydock in the prestigious 2m Swinton 18 days ago when tongue tied for the first time; Flat career of just four races, latest when fourth of eight from the back when joint-favourite on Flat handicap debut at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; has more to offer in this sphere and is one to note.

In good form over hurdles last spring, winning at Stratford and Hexham (both 2m, good to soft); he's only 2lb higher than for the second of those wins, and a recent run on the Flat after six months off should have blown away the cobwebs; impossible to discount in first-time tongue-strap.

32,000euros 2yo; first foal; dam placed 1m 2yo/10.5f in France, half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner Tiger Crusade, out of Group-placed 1m2f-1m4f winning close relation of 1m2f Group 3 winner Nysaean, half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 1 runner-up Celtic Cavalier; some appeal on breeding, probably only of interest on debut if attracting market support.

Like The Bellhop, both his wins have been at Fontwell (good/good to soft); however, he was well behind his stablemate when both were making their handicap debuts at Sandown and this 4yo didn't look straightforward that day.

Won at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in September on second hurdle start and followed up there in October (2m1f, good to soft) in a race that worked out well; heavy ground may have been too much in Grade 2 at Cheltenham in November; unraced on soft; he could have potential off his opening mark.

Promising second over C&D (good to soft) on hurdling debut in August and he landed the odds when beating eight rivals on his return visit (good) last month; that was a workmanlike success but he showed the right attitude and is respected under a penalty.
