Jonjo O'Neill's OENOLOGUE may appreciate the extra couple of furlongs on offer this afternoon and he may be worth another chance having disappointed when favourite at Stratford last month. Jack The Blaster and Sherwoods Folly are interesting hurdling debutants and significant market support for either would be a good pointer.
JUNKANOO and Pro Dancer have not been seen over obstacles for some time now, but the former has the significant advantage of a recent run on the Flat which should have freshened him up. Shaman is also likely to be on the scene and has the ability to take full advantage if the principals falter.
Legally Fast and Longueville Manor are in good heart and can't be ruled out in this field, while Philip Hobbs' Dancing Rock should be monitored in the betting on his return to action. For the winner though, it may pay to concentrate on MR SHAMBLES who enters handicap company on a useful mark and is clearly in the form of his life.
No recent form to work with here, but In Accord, Snoopy Loopy and YABOYA make most appeal on last year's efforts. They were all running very well in better company before their respective breaks, but preference is for Philip Hobbs' 7yo who demonstrated his staying credentials when finishing strongly into third in a Grade 3 novices' hurdle at Sandown in March.
Very little significant recent form on offer here and the door could be wide open for Alan King's French import ESPRIT SAINT. He scored on his last hurdling appearance in his native country and is likely to have been extensively schooled over the summer months for his first attempt at the larger obstacles. Hunting Yuppie and Over The Blues could be best of the remainder.
Mambo Des Mottes would need his best to feature in this and, considering the lengthy absence, is difficult to recommend. Supreme Tadgh and MASTER PAPA are both in great form, but preference is for the latter who looks more consistent and seems likely to take full advantage of the handicapper's leniency.
TASHKANDI stands out in the form book and need only reproduce last month's effort here, when narrowly defeated by Present Oriented, to land the top prize. Neutrino will need to forget his recent tumble, but Faraway Echo and Amjad would appear to represent solid each-way prospects.
