Horse silk
40/1
Getaway gelding who was successful on last of 3 starts in points and built on an encouraging Rules debut when landing an 8-runner bumper at Newcastle last time. This is much tougher.

12/1
Failed to beat a rival both starts in points but proved a different proposiition when landing a 9-runner bumper at Kempton 56 days ago. Could be more to come, so dangerous to rule out.

11/10
Won sole start in points and didn't lose much in defeat when second at Navan first time under Rules, sticking to the task well. Was up against it in the Champion Bumper last time but boasts excellent claims of opening his accoun in this lesser company.

€48,000 3-y-o, £145,000 4-y-o, Califet gelding. Dam (c118/h96) 2½m-3m hurdle/chase winner. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Dec 2023). Very much one to consider starting out for top yard.

7/1
Expensive purchase on the back of success between the flags but hasn't come up to expectations under Rules as yet. Has had a break since latest effort at Newbury.

Horse silk
9/2
Fly With Me gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (17f-3m winner) Safran de Cotte. Runner-up sole start in points (Nov 2023) and looks one to note on Rules debut.
|
Timeform
Leading Light gelding. Dam (b67), ran once in bumper, closely related to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Island Mahee. Interesting newcomer if the market speaks in his favour.
|
Timeform
€21,000 3-y-o, El Salvador gelding. Brother to a point winner. Dam, pulled up in points, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m-21f winner) Lady Zephyr. Not dismissed for stable that does well in this sphere.
|
Timeform
Won sole start in Irish points (Oct 2023) and followed suit in a 6-runner bumper at Musselburgh first time out, making all with plenty in hand. Open to improvement and definitely of interest.

Runner-up completed start in points but yet to offer much promise under Rules.

Tongue tied when down the field at Newcastle on debut and fared little better at Kelso next time. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

C'est Ta Chance (11/10), Jazz De Cotte (9/2), Califet En Vol (11/2), Histrionic (7/1), Thistle Be The One (12/1), Reflection Of You (16/1), The Dipper (25/1), Jony R (28/1), Gasmani (40/1), Authorized Mission (100/1), Disco Annie (100/1)

Verdict

C'EST TA CHANCE has the best form and his latest effort in the Champion Bumper is best to draw a line through, so he takes preference over point-winner Califet En Vol, with the unbeaten Reflection of You another obvious player.
