Selected odds by:

Aviation²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 115

11/4

Shaped well sole start in bumpers and built on encouraging hurdles debut when second of 12 upped to 21f in a Warwick maiden last month. Remains open to improvement and he's a must for the shortlist.

Form: 432

Dunskay³³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Jones| T: B PaulingWS

10/3

Related to a couple of useful types and winner of 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers last term, including when last seen at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) where he had 3 subsequent hurdles winners behind. Since had a wind op and brings potential to the table now faces with a stiffer test on this hurdles debut.

Form: 101-

Dwight K Schrute⁶⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: Jamie Snowden| D

7/1

£80,000 4-y-o. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser in France La Henriade and fair 2m hurdle winner Docte Dina. Successful sole run between the flags in February 2023 and, though absent since, he needs a close on Rules debut for his respected, in-form new yard.

Espoir Des Forges⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 112

8/1

Promise when placed in pair of 19f Warwick maiden hurdles during the spring. However, he proved to be something of a let-down when only seventh on his reappearance at Chepstow and he arguably lacks the potential of some of these.

Form: P3-27

Malinificent³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex

5/1

£52,000 buy who was runner-up on his sole completed start in points. Showed promise on hurdles debut in a 6-runner 2m Leicester novice last month and he's a live each-way candidate with this step up in trip a good move.

Form: U-23

Roe And Co⁴²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie SnowdenWS

9/2

Fetched £58,000 after landing a maiden point in November 2023 and it will be very interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting ahead of this Rules debut, particularly in relation to stablemate Dwight K Schrute, who possesses an almost identical profile. Has undergone a wind op.

Sole Solution³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

10/1

Winner of both bumper starts during 2022/23 campaign and, following almost 2 years off, he was understandably in need of the experience/run on hurdles debut in November. Subsequently chased home a potentially smart novice in Sixmilebridge upped to 20.5f at Leicester (heavy) and he's a big player.

Form: 11/62

Another Pearl³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: G Nicholls

25/1

Dam triple bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler. Signs of ability in bumpers but will probably be brought along gradually in this sphere, with a view to handicaps.

Form: 6-56

Braunton Burrows³⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Jess Stewart⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies

100/1

Offered little in a trio of bumpers (first two for Nigel Twiston-Davies) and pulled up on hurdles bow at Doncaster when last seen 12 months ago.

Form: 0/66P-

Chosen Bae^h,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: R Potter

66/1

Placed in Irish points but pulled up on Newton Abbot hurdle debut in July 2023 and beaten a long way on recent comeback run at Uttoxeter where he sported a first-time hood/tongue strap (both retained).

Form: 223P-8

Clashmore Banter³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans

66/1

Makes very little appeal making her Rules debut having offered little in 4 starts between the flags.

Dontworrywegotthis¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Georgie Howell

100/1

Offered little only start in bumpers and has fared no better in 2 starts since switched to hurdles.

Form: 088

Gemi Cat¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

100/1

Out of a hurdling winner in France but doesn't look like a winner-in-waiting herself judged on what she's shown on the racecourse so far. Yard also saddles Majestic Mia.

Form: P6

King's Consort⁶⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Olive Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: G Nicholls

33/1

Youmzain mare. Dam multiple bumper winner/made frame sole start over hurdles. Placed on the second of her 2 starts between the flags back in March 2023. Probably best watched on Rules debut.

Majestic Mia¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Liam Harrison| T: Christian Williams

66/1

Didn't show enough on recent C&D Rules debut to suggest that she'll play a leading role in this contest.

Form: F-5

The Dancing Lass²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Mrs M Rowley

100/1

Last of 6 in bumper at Bangor on debut in October and then trailed in last of 8 finishers switched to hurdles in a Hereford novice.

Form: 68

Forecasts

Aviation (11/4), Dunskay (10/3), Roe And Co (9/2), Malinificent (5/1), Dwight K Schrute (7/1), Espoir Des Forges (8/1), Sole Solution (10/1), Another Pearl (25/1), King's Consort (33/1), Majestic Mia (66/1), Clashmore Banter (66/1), Chosen Bae (66/1), Braunton Burrows (100/1), Dontworrywegotthis (100/1), The Dancing Lass (100/1), Gemi Cat (100/1)

Several to consider in what has the makings of an informative novice. DUNSKAY is just about the most interesting of the shortlisted candidates, with the form of his latest bumper success at Huntingdon working out well. Sole Solution stepped up on his hurdles debut when runner-up at Leicester last month and he is feared most ahead of Aviation and Malinificent. Jamie Snowden fields former point winners Dwight K Schrute and Roe And Co, both of whom need a close look in the betting.
