Selected odds by:
Related to three winners and showed something when runner-up at Huntingdon first time out. This is a tricky assignment, however.
|
Hinted at ability on debut but left that form well behind when scoring in determined style at Aintree last time. Looks vulnerable in this company, though.
|
€55,000 3-y-o, Harzand gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler/useful chaser Ashdale Bob and useful hurdler Storm Arising. Dam (h134) bumper/2m-2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m). Worth monitoring in the betting.
|
Once-raced maiden. ½-length second of 8 to Cedar Creek in bumper at Aintree (17f, good, 3/1) on NH debut 53 days ago. Nicely bred and should be able to step up on that.
|
Represents top Flat stable and created an excellent impression when making a successful start at Exeter 71 days ago. May have been saved for this and, with more to come, he's the one to beat.
|
Bred for the Flat and knew what was required when scoring at Ludlow 55 days ago. This is a much sterner test but he could do better.
|
Half-brother to bumper winner Cloudy View and shaped with some encouragement when third in a 7-runner Ludlow bumper on his introduction. Not quite in the same form at Wincanton next time and others are more persuasive.
|
Half-brother to a couple of Flat winners and off the mark at the first attempt in bumper at Wincanton. Has left Owen Burrows since and is worthy of interest with Skelton booked.
|
Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful bumper winner/useful hurdler Go Dante and fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Angel of Harlem. Noteworthy newcomer.
|
Runner-up to Marhaba Prince at Wincanton on debut and is likely to have learned from that, so not completely dismissed for all that others probably have more potential.
|
Cheap purchase who showed ability at Wincanton first time out but will need to do a lot more to figure in this better contest.
|
€80,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam 2½m-25f hurdle/chase winner. Booking of Sam Twiston-Davies is a plus and it'll be interesting to see how he fares in the betting, particularly in relation to stablemate Crest of Stars.
|
Postponed filly. Half-sister to 5 winners on Flat, including 5f-7f winner Woodside Wonder. Dam maiden on Flat. Tough ask on debut.
|
Won 10-runner fillies bumper at Vichy by ¼ length from Lenza Conti. Left D. Guillemin €55,000 subsequently and only seventh at Doncaster on stable debut, so needs to get back on track.
|
Belied a big price to make a successful debut at Doncaster with something in hand and, while this is tougher, she's capable of better.
|
Out of a winning hurdler/chaser and showed plenty when runner-up to Merely A Detail at Doncaster on debut. Open to improvement and not without hope.

Forecasts
Gnomon (7/4), Walk In The West (4/1), Marhaba Prince (5/1), Our Boy Stan (9/1), Lady Tadita (10/1), Danger Nap (11/1), Crest Of Stars (11/1), Precious Metal (16/1), Merely A Detail (20/1), Cedar Creek (25/1), Latopix (28/1), Gregorians Star (40/1), Caballero Cliff (50/1), Rose's Dart (50/1), Daffodil (80/1), Intosomethinggood (100/1), The Goose (125/1)
GNOMON made a winning start with a minimum of fuss at Exeter a couple of months ago and there should be more to come with the longer trip no issue, so he gets the marginal vote over Lady Tadita, who also arrives on the back of a successful debut. Marhaba Prince is also considered.
