Saturday, November 23, 2024HurdleClass 22m5f

KLOTH OF UTOPIA won easily at Auteuil last month and can make a successful foray across the Channel with the longer trip this afternoon expected to be in his favour. Nicky Henderson course chase winner Excello had some useful form over hurdles in France at the start of his career and is second choice ahead of Western Knight.

    Verdict
    Useful form, scoring by 12 lengths at Auteuil (2¼m, soft) last month. Sets a good standard and this longer trip might see him pull out even more.

    Reached the frame in 2 bumpers earlier in the year and made a successful hurdle debut in a 2¾m Stratford maiden (heavy) 5 weeks ago. Open to improvement.

    Verdict
    Bumper winner last November who returned from wind surgery to make a successful hurdle debut at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) last month. That bare form is ordinary but he's from a top yard with a good recent record in this race.

    Verdict
    Second in the first of 2 bumper starts and overcome some sloppy jumping to make a winning start over hurdles in 2½m Uttoxeter novice 3 weeks ago. Looks sure to progress if his hurdling improves with experience.

    Verdict
    Irish point winner but only seventh in a Newton Abbot bumper for new connections last month. This longer trip more suitable now hurdling but this looks a tough ask.

    Verdict
    Useful form over hurdles and fences at up to 2¾m in France. Second outing for Nicky Henderson when winning a 21f course graduation chase last December. Came unstuck in very strong Cheltenham handicaps subsequently but respected back over the smaller obstacles on reappearance after a breathing op.
