Caoilin Quinn (7) J Gary Moore, Horsham T B Mr Christophe Doudeau K M Elite Products Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Much improved from hurdling debut when winning 14-runner juvenile at Auteuil (17.4f) in April, making all and drawing clear run-in. Left Emmanuel Clayeux for €155,000 in May and far too free, even with a hood, on British debut at Ascot last month. TFRHHHII BHA127

Stan Sheppard J Tom Lacey, Woolhope T B Minch Bloodstock Plusbac S TIMEFORM VIEW Showed useful form in bumpers without looking totally straightforward, including when an excellent fourth in Grade 2 event at Aintree on final outing last term. Good start over hurdles when runner-up at Ascot and this a good chance for him to go one place better. TFRHHHHH BHA-

Jonjo O’Neill, Cheltenham T B Dunk Again Syndicate Wasdell Group S TIMEFORM VIEW Point winner at second attempt who looked potentially useful when making perfect start in bumpers at Southwell in November. Matched rather than bettered that form in this sphere after and having been ignored in the betting, he made a fair start over hurdles when fourth at Cheltenham. TFRHHHII BHA-
