TIMEFORM VIEW Dual Flat winner who made it 2-3 in this sphere when getting the better of Interne De Sivola at Fontwell. Rather fortunate that day, though, and may struggle to uphold that form on 3lb worse terms. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 120 KEVIN JONES

TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful on the Flat for Ralph Beckett and built on hurdles debut promise when landing a 16.6f Marker Rasen maiden in good style last month. Remains open to improvement and he’s a key player. Star RatingHHHHH Official BHA Rating - AIDAN COLEMAN

TIMEFORM VIEW Winner of just one of his 11 starts on the Flat in Ireland and well beaten when last seen at Tramore in August. Tongue strap added for this hurdles debut and he’s probably best watched. Star RatingHIIII Official BHA Rating - CRAIG NICHOL

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair maiden on the Flat and has shown glimmers of ability since switched to hurdles. Still, he’s probably more one for handicaps later on and This Ones For Fred appears to be the stable first-string. Star RatingHHIII Official BHA Rating - GAVIN SHEEHAN

TIMEFORM VIEW Just the one win to his name from 14 starts on the Flat, but he’s pretty consistent and latest effort in that sphere at Kempton (2m) was solid. Appeals as the type to make his mark in this sphere. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating - TOM BELLAMY

BETTING FORECAST:
15-8 Interne de Sivola (FR), 9-4 Fleurman (IRE), 4-1 Silver Shade (FR), 11-1 This Ones For Fred (IRE), 22-1 The Hood (IRE), 28-1 Top Brass (GB), 40-1 Druk (FR)
RACE SUMMARY:
There was much to like about the way FLEURMAN dispatched with his rivals at Market Rasen and, with the promise of better to come from this Flat recruit, he looks the way to go. Interne de Sivola almost certainly would’ve prevailed at Fontwell last month but for a bad mistake at the second-last and, 3lb better off with the eventual winner Silver Shade here, he is the clear main danger.
