T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

Usually a blinkered front-runner this year on Flat; second in May (1m6f, good) was the only significant echo of his useful 2yo form but he still needs a close look on this hurdles debut, with no headgear having left Ralph Beckett for 56,000gns in June.

T: Chris Gordon

Assembling an impressive CV in bumpers, following all-the-way wins at Newbury (good to soft) and Ascot (soft) with an excellent third at the Cheltenham Festival (good) where he stuck to his task gamely after being headed over 1f out; that's the best form on offer and he's the one to beat.

J: Freddie Gordon

T: Chris Gordon

Not an instant success in Irish points but 2-2 in bumpers despite free-going tendencies evident in both; made all at Newbury (good to soft) and repeated the trick at Ascot (soft) where he was in splendid isolation for large parts of the race before predictably tiring late on; that form has taken a battering but he was much the best of that field; should similar tactics be employed, it may help that this race is often slowly run; highly regarded and much respected.

Debut bumper winner last October; has shown fair form on all his three runs this summer, badly impeded 1f out when a solid sixth of 12 in 1m4f novice at Kempton 24 days ago; may do better now handicapping.

Bumper winner at Huntingdon last October; fair efforts in two starts on the Flat, finishing fourth of 13 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) and fifth of 14 at Southwell (1m4f, AW); the latter start has been well franked by the winner but this 4yo may be of more interest in handicaps.

Won at Sandown (1m6f, good) in July on final outing for the Gosdens; not at the same level when sixth on his two starts for this yard (2m, good to firm/soft) but the drop back in trip and return to better ground could help, and he's one of two for a stable with an excellent record in the race; chance.

2-11 for the Gosdens, whom he left after winning at Sandown (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns and did well at the Shergar Cup (2m, good to firm) given he pulled hard early; effective on good to soft (unraced on slower).
