A weak Grade 1 where a few who contested the Turners at Cheltenham re-oppose. Soldier Reeves did best that day flying home from an impossible position but he has looked in need of a step up to staying trips for some time and Harry Skelton keeps the faith with Bossman Jack instead. He was just behind his stablemate at Prestbury Park but he tired up the hill after a shocking late error and this flatter track can see him reverse the form if his jumping holds up. BALLYFAD was further behind that day but it's likely he didn't give his running after being kicked at the start. The quick ground here is a slight concern but he had previously beaten the winner at Cheltenham when narrowly defeated in a Grade 1 at the DRF. It's much more likely that is his true level and he is fancied to continue his stable's excellent week here. Of those at bigger prices Charisma Cat makes some appeal getting weight from her rivals. She landed a valuable Grade 2 for mares last time where she relished the step up in trip on quicker ground. Premier Hurdle winner Montemares isn't finished improving and can't be ruled out either in an open race. |

Yard won this last three runnings of race; kicked at start and possibly something amiss beaten 7 1/2l in Turners Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) at Cheltenham last time; finished ahead of winner of that race in Grade 1 at DRF previously; in good form prior; effective around 2m, acts on heavy and yielding; looks classy, likely to get further in time, could bounce back. |

No match for winner but improved again when second beaten 6 1/2l in Premier Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Kelso latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on heavy, good to soft; progressive in bumpers and over hurdles, likely to get 3m in time; bit to find with re-opposing rival. |

A weak Grade 1 where a few who contested the Turners at Cheltenham re-oppose. Soldier Reeves did best that day flying home from an impossible position but he has looked in need of a step up to staying trips for some time and Harry Skelton keeps the faith with Bossman Jack instead. He was just behind his stablemate at Prestbury Park but he tired up the hill after a shocking late error and this flatter track can see him reverse the form if his jumping holds up. BALLYFAD was further behind that day but it's likely he didn't give his running after being kicked at the start. The quick ground here is a slight concern but he had previously beaten the winner at Cheltenham when narrowly defeated in a Grade 1 at the DRF. It's much more likely that is his true level and he is fancied to continue his stable's excellent week here. Of those at bigger prices Charisma Cat makes some appeal getting weight from her rivals. She landed a valuable Grade 2 for mares last time where she relished the step up in trip on quicker ground. Premier Hurdle winner Montemares isn't finished improving and can't be ruled out either in an open race. |

Flew home and looked in need of stiffer test when fourth beaten 3 1/4l in Turners Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) at Cheltenham latest; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on soft, good to soft; form looks strong, more to come for top yard when upped to staying trips. |

Went clear comfortably, improved up in trip suited by the decent ground when winning a novice hurdle at Newcastle by 6 1/2l last time; returning from a break; effective 2m4f-2m6f, acts on good to soft, good; appears progressive but may not be up to this level. |

Improved up in trip under positive ride when winning British EBF 'National Hunt' Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Newbury by 3 1/4l last time; trainer in form; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good to soft; progressive, unexposed at 2 1/2m and interesting getting weight from rivals. |

Improved ridden to pick up the pieces off good pace beaten 4l in Triumph Hurdle (Grade 1) at Cheltenham last time; effective 2m1f on heavy and soft; progressive, strong stayer at 2m, should find a race soon but may need drop in class. |
