13:00 Full Of Light

This looks an excellent opportunity for Nicky Henderson’s new recruit FULL OF LIGHT to make a winning stable debut. He won a Downpatrick bumper last time out in May and should be tough to beat in this weak race if transferring that promise to hurdles. Kelso third Clear The Runway is the obvious danger, while Annual Review and Key To The Moon are open to improvement.

13:30 Sinndarella

Sporting Scopey represents the in-form Nigel Twiston-Davies and is bred to be suited by the step up in trip on her hurdle debut, but preference is for SINNDARELLA who possesses some solid hurdles form and is taken to post an overdue first win.

14:05 Raya Time

Things didn’t go at all according to plan for RAYA TIME on his concluding pair of Irish starts in the summer, but both were deeper contests than this, and there was sufficient to like about his best win and placed form in 2m chases just prior to that, including around a sharp track on a sound surface, to gain him the nod here. Golden Taipan is entitled to uphold recent 2m4f course form over Flashing Glance, though as with the selection some jumping concerns remain.

14:40 Lucky Robin (NAP)

The veteran of the line-up, LUCKY ROBIN (nap), won in a higher grade than this on his last hurdle start and he’s just 2lb higher today. He gets the nod ahead of Edinburgh Castle, who has been a bit disappointing in this code but has still shown solid form in today’s context. Kensington Art could also run well.

15:15 Muse Of Fire

A chance is taken on MUSE OF FIRE, who fell last December on his first two starts over fences but was running really well on his chase debut over C&D until departing four out. He could be well handicapped now 3lb lower. Kilbrew Boy is back down to his last winning mark and is second choice, ahead of the progressive 5yo Gouet Des Bruyeres who needs to prove his stamina. The in-form Goldencard is another to consider.

15:50 Dynali

There can be optimism a sound surface will prevail today, which could be key for DYNALI who was a good third on the Flat two starts ago. He’s lightly raced over hurdles and could have untapped potential in this code. Ballymilan is a stand-out danger having won two of her three starts in these cheekpieces.
