12:30 (Huntingdon) Vorashann

Vorashann makes for plenty of appeal on best form.

The seven-year-old recorded some strong efforts for ex-trainer Gary Moore including a pair of Fontwell victories in higher grades last year. Finds an ideal opportunity after a long break.

13:05 (Huntingdon) Burdett Road

Royal Ascot winner Burdett Road makes his debut over obstacles in the Follow Us On Twitter @betrhino Juvenile Hurdle.

Now with James Owen, who trains all the Gredley family jumpers, should he translate a good proportion of his Flat ability he will take a great deal of beating.

He won the Golden Gates Handicap off a mark of 90 and was then only five lengths behind Desert Hero in the Gordon Stakes, ending with a mark of 101.

Ralph Beckett will not want this season to end such is his current strike-rate, and his squad of two-year-olds looks very strong indeed.

14:15 (Huntingdon) Miss Oreo

Miss Oreo caught the eye at Fairyhouse when a six and a half length winner of a maiden hurdle and has a strong chance.

The Paul Nicholls-trainer Iliade Allen showed plenty of promise attempting jumpers flat events with a Cheltenham second in 2022 two outings ago.

Still makes for appeal despite the absence.

Della Casa Lunga placed second at Punchestown two starts back. Down in grade and should go on your shortlist.

16:00 (Huntingdon) Pileup

Pileup posted a strong run attempting this handicap hurdle grade two outings ago when a neck second at Market Rasen in June, and will go close.

Nasee is an interesting Irish challenger with Harry Cobden booked. The eight-year-old placed third tackling a 25 runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown two starts back.

Jack Sprat is likely to improve second up for this season following a Stratford fifth. Placed second contesting a Wincanton maiden hurdle in April and has ability to feature.
