4/6

Useful dual bumper winner and unbeaten over hurdles, confirming the very positive impression he created at Worcester when landing 4-runner novice 3 weeks ago. The one to beat.

Form: 1129-11

Pikar³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

8/1

Closely related to a winner and half-brother to 6 winners on Flat, including useful 1m winner Prairie Pearl. Promising start when second of 9 at Chepstow last month.

Form: 2

Washington¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| D

2/1

Fairly useful form in winning both bumper starts last season and maintained unbeaten record in ready fashion on hurdles debut at Bangor 17 days ago. Can leave bare form behind.

Forecasts

I Like To Move It (4/6), Washington (2/1), Sonigino (9/2), Pikar (8/1)

I LIKE TO MOVE IT still has work to do in the jumping department but he clearly possesses more than his share of ability having won 4 times already and is very much the one to beat again. Washington defends an unbeaten record and is second choice unless there's confidence behind Sonigino on debut for Paul Nicholls.
