Gaucher^h,t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| T: W P Mullins| OR: 147| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 9 runs last season. Creditable 2¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Irancy in Hardy Eustace Novices' Hurdle (6/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 23 days ago. New mark asks for more but he couldn't be in better hands.

Form: 216414

Brentford Hope^p,t⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| T: Harry Derham| OR: 140| D

9/1

Five wins from 16 NH runs. 16¾ lengths last of 4 to Golden Ace in Kingwell Hurdle (11/2) at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 73 days ago. Runner-up in this race a year ago from a higher mark but that due to the fact that he's not arriving in top form.

Form: 12-2024

Hunters Yarn^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| T: W P Mullins| OR: 140| D

25/1

Six wins from 16 NH runs. Eleventh of 14 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, good, 22/1) 26 days ago. No surprise that he's back over hurdles and the assessor has given him a chance if he can revive.

Forecasts

Lark In The Mornin (4/1), Wilful (13/2), Serienmond (7/1), Ascending Lark (8/1), Irish Panther (9/1), Brentford Hope (9/1), Iberico Lord (11/1), Helvic Dream (12/1), Impero (14/1), American Money (14/1), Gaucher (16/1), Samui (16/1), Any Road (25/1), Hunters Yarn (25/1), Sonny May (28/1), God Of Thunder (40/1), Run For Harry (66/1)

As you'd expect, there are plenty to consider but SERIENMOND has looked an improved performer upon ing Gavin Cromwell and at the foot of the weights, he looks very interesting. Lark In The Mornin never really looked like justifying in the County Hurdle but he could easily bounce back, while American Money looks pretty solid.
