Verdict
LAVENDER HILL MOB seemed rusty/in need of the experience sent hurdling when second in a small-field, steadily-run affair at Newcastle recently and, open to plenty of improvement based on his Flat form, he's taken to extend his stable's excellent run in this division. Total Look looked good when justifying strong support on his debut in this sphere at Navan last month and seems sure to progress, with Ambiente Amigo and Quantock Hills others to consider.

VerdictUseful on Flat, mid-field in Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (14.2f) on most recent outing in that sphere. Seemed rusty/in need of the experience sent hurdling when second in 4-runner juvenile at Newcastle (16.2f, good) a fortnight ago and seems sure to do better in first-time cheekpieces. - 4.

VerdictProgressive on the Flat (stays 1½m) and justified support in 11-runner juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago, always holding on. Sure to progress and win more races in this sphere. - 8. Ambiente AmigoJ: Harry CobdenT: James OwenF: 13

VerdictUseful performer on Flat who made a winning start in this sphere in ready fashion at Newcastle (16.2f, good) in October. Proved too keen when third in Newbury listed event since and remains with potential.

VerdictFairly useful form over hurdles in France, confirming debut promise when successful at Dieppe in June. Acquired for €130,000 after and didn't need to improve to go one better than on yard debut in 8-runner juvenile at Fontwell (17.7f) last month. Should be competitive.

VerdictTook well to hurdling with wins at Killarney and Down Royal in August. Ran well attempting to concede plenty of weight when second at Listowel the following month and should be competitive again now setting out for a new yard (previously with Joseph O'Brien).

VerdictFair Flat winner in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and made the most of a good opportunity as he got off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt in 8-runner juvenile at Kempton (2m) 19 days ago. Needs a bit more back in better company.

VerdictLightly-raced winner at up to 1m on the Flat but it is a little concerning he was solid for just 9,000 gns out of M. D. O'Callaghan's yard.

VerdictDeveloped into a fairly useful handicapper on the Flat, registering 3 victories at up to 14.5f. However, has run to just a modest level on both hurdle starts to date.- Unnamed Favourite
