BEL AMIGO's French form marks him out as the pick at these weights so it's worth siding that he will be fit enough on return from 6 months off to get the job done here. Irish-raiders Jumping Susie and Step Out are the obvious alternatives.

Verdict
First foal, dam unraced. Placed on 2 of 4 starts in points and backed at prices, he made a winning hurdles debut at Hexham in June, holding on gamely. Bare form is ordinary so he looks vulnerable here.

Verdict
Runner-up 3 times over hurdles before getting it right at Downpatrick in August (21.8f) keeping on well. More needed under a penalty but he's in good hands.

Verdict
Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good) in July, responding well. Matched that form when third under a penalty at Tramore and wasn't far off that level at Bangor, either, with her rider losing his irons early.

Verdict
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France, winning claimer at Compiegne when last seen in March. Claimed from A. Chaille-Chaille for €24,600 after and he sets the clear standard if returning at that level for new yard.

Successful sole start in bumpers but remains winless following 19 attempts in this sphere, albeit runner-up 4 times in handicap company this season. Plenty to find back in a novice.

First foal, dam, unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/winning chaser (stayed 25f) who became ungenuine Blow By Blow.
