Tomorrow, HurdleClass 42m7f

Those with prior hurdles experience set only a fair standard and with that in mind it could be worth chancing one of the Rules debutants in the shape of KILBAKANTO and Ignore The Door. The former, a winner of his only start in Irish points shading the vote before the benefit of market clues. Hurdles scorer Court In A Storm and dual bumper winner Axel Bleue are others fancied to feature.

    Verdict
    £100,000 5-y-o, Malinas gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Windance. Dam (c106/h115) 2m hurdle winner. Won sole start in Irish points (Dec 2024) and he's another meriting serious consideration starting out over hurdles for leading stable.

    Verdict
    Bumper winner who boasts a mixed record over hurdles but he returned to the pick of his form when landing a 7-runner Downpatrick maiden (21.8f) back in July, staying on to lead final 50 yds. Has since left Gordon Elliott and return to this longer trip will hold no fears.

    Verdict
    Point winner who is also 2-3 in bumpers, defying a penalty when drawing the sting out of his market rival from the front in 5-runner contest at Newton Abbot (16.8f) 26 days ago. Still looked a bit green then and he's a bright prospect now his attentions switch to timber for the first time.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced 6-y-o who made it second time lucky in bumpers at Ludlow this time last year and benefited from the step up in trip after 6 months off when landing a maiden hurdle at Hereford (19.7f) back in April. Further increase in trip ought to suit on seasonal bow.

    Verdict
    £28,000 3-y-o, Spanish Moon gelding. Well backed when making a winning debut in a Carlisle maiden hurdle (19.3f) back in the spring, getting the message in time to lead final 50 yds. This will demand more under a penalty but he's another who looks likely to appreciate the longer trip.

    Verdict
    €55,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam (h90) maiden hurdler (stayed 3m). Off mark in Irish points at fourth attempt (Mar 2025) and he's an interesting Rules debutant for a very good yard. Wears tongue strap.
