Selected odds by:

Ballysax Hank³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Cian Cullinan| T: Miss K Brown

50/1

Doesn't have a great pedigree but showed plenty when runner-up at a big price at Cork on debut. More required in this company, though.

Form: 2

Boy From Brazil⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jordan Nailor| T: N A Twiston-Davies| BF

80/1

Out of a bumper winner but well-held fifth at Stratford on debut and needs to show a lot more.

Form: 5

Brechin Castle²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse

9/4

Ready point winner who looked an excellent prospect when bolting up in a bumper at Sedgefield on Rules debut. A lot more to come and should take all the beating.

Form: 1-1

Diamond Dice²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill

20/1

Held every chance when departing at the last on debut and made a positive start in this sphere when runner-up at Hereford. Open to improvement, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: F2

Doyen Quest³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

14/1

In command when saddle slipped and unseated rider sole outing in points and made amends when landing a bumper at Ffos Las on debut for current stable. Well worth his place in this company.

Form: U/1

Fire Flyer²⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| D

9/2

Well-bred gelding who made a winning start in bumpers at Ascot (15.7f, good) last season Disappointing in listed event at Newbury subsequently but remains with potential after 9 months off.

Form: 17-

Hazy Glen³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby

14/1

Related to a winner and made a pleasing start when landing a 10-runner event at Carlisle a month ago. Likely to be outclassed in this company, however.

Form: 1

Minella Rescue⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: G Hanmer| D

8/1

Progressive form in bumpers and doubled his tally in comfortable fashion at Warwick 45 days ago. Should do better still, so well worthy of interest.

Form: PF3-311

Moon Chime⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| D

7/2

Trained by Fergal O'Brien when overcoming inexperience to make a winning start to his career at Worcester in May and supplemented that on debut for new stable at Stratford last month. Looks a big player.

Form: 11

Rickety Bridge³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: P F Nicholls| BF

25/1

Half-brother to fair French hurdler/chaser Raffles Capital (17f/2¼m winner) and showed plenty when runner-up at Worcester, just failing. Needs more to compete at this level but significant that top yard has taken the chance.

Form: 1-2

Walks Like The Man²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: S Hosie

12/1

Six-figure purchse from points and ready winner at Newton Abbot first time out in a bumper. Has left Milton Harris since but still has the scope for better.

Form: B1-1

Daytona Beach¹³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: Rae Guest| D

22/1

Sister to 2 winners and justified strong favouritism with a professional performance to score at Worcester 4 months ago. This is a much tougher assignment but there's more to come.

Form: 50-1

Forecasts

Brechin Castle (9/4), Moon Chime (7/2), Fire Flyer (9/2), Minella Rescue (8/1), Walks Like The Man (12/1), Hazy Glen (14/1), Doyen Quest (14/1), Diamond Dice (20/1), Daytona Beach (22/1), Rickety Bridge (25/1), Ballysax Hank (50/1), Boy From Brazil (80/1)

BRECHIN CASTLE has been hugely impressive in winning both his point and bumper outings to date, so he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record up in grade. The progressive Moon Chime is a big threat and Minella Rescue can't be ruled out.
