Tomorrow, November 23, 2024HurdleClass 13m

James Owen denied Dan Skelton in a valuable handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last weekend and history may repeat itself, with ONE BIG BANG, who will be well suited by the return to 3m, taken to see off progressive Skelton pair Doyen Quest and Catch Him Derry. Returning Grade 2 novice hurdle winner Kerryhill is another very interesting runner.

    Verdict
    Likeable sort who built on his fine reappearance second in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow when a 5-length winner at Cheltenham last weekend, his first attempt at 3m. A 5 lb penalty shouldn't prevent a bold bid from this progressive sort.

    Verdict
    Improving type who made it 3-4 in handicaps when scoring hard held on his 21.5f Newton Abbot reappearance at the end of October. Raised another 7 lb but there's almost certainly more to come. Part of a strong hand for his stable.

    Useful performance to win a 3m Cheltenham handicap in October 2022. Not seen again until fifth of 10 at Galway 4 weeks ago, shaping as if retaining all his ability. It'll be interesting to see if there's money for him with that outing under his belt.

    Verdict
    Maiden in Ireland but 2-2 around 3m for James Owen in the spring, including a C&D handicap. Improved again when second under a double penalty in 21.5f Newton Abbot novice on his return 24 days ago. The step back up in trip will suit and looks on a good mark for his very much in-form yard.

    Point winner who opened Rules account in a 2½m Ffos Las novice in March. Made a sound start to his handicap career after a break when fifth of 17 in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) 6 weeks ago. Unexposed now stepping up to 3m for a stable which knows what it takes to win this.

    Useful stayer on the Flat for Harry & Roger Charlton and fast heading that way over hurdles, completing a handicap hat-trick in a big-field race over C&D in May. Returned with a good third of 12 at Cheltenham 4 weeks ago. Another who can't be discounted.

    Verdict
    Posted a fairly useful effort when a wide-margin winner of a Chepstow novice (2m, soft) in April. Not disgraced when sixth of 13 on handicap debut at Ayr (2m) later that month and now steps up markedly in trip for his reappearance in a race the yard is no stranger to success in.

    Did really well back chasing last season, including second in Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival. Reverted to hurdles for Wetherby reappearance and finished a fine second in a 3m Wetherby Grade 2. Runs off the same mark as the Ultima. Wears first-time cheekpieces.
