---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (11/4 +31%) Tommys Charm |
11/4(+31%) | (7) Tommys Charm 11/4, £30,000 5-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam (c104/h104), 23f-3¼m chase winner (stayed 29f), closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (2m-2½m winner) Truckers Delight. Runner-up sole start in Irish points in October and needs a market check debuting under Rules in an ordinary race. Bought for £30,000 after clear second in soft-ground Irish point in October; rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (8/11 +20%) Idefix De Ciergues |
8/11(+20%) | (3) Idefix De Ciergues 8/11, Fair form over hurdles, reacting well to cheekpieces when going close in 2½m Wincanton handicap 43 days ago. Headgear left off this time but still much respected back in a maiden. Went very close in 15-runner Wincanton handicap last month; the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/1 +60%) Maximum Effort |
10/1(+60%) | (5) Maximum Effort 10/1, Comfortably held in 2 bumpers/both starts over hurdles. Needs this for a handicap mark. Displayed promise on first two hurdling starts but low-grade handicaps beckon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (16/1 -33%) Walkinthecotswolds |
16/1(-33%) | (8) Walkinthecotswolds 16/1, Offered little in bumpers but left her hurdling debut form behind when fourth of 12 in a 2m course novice 25 days ago, suited by a more prominent ride. Will stay 2½m and it's not out of the question she could take another step forward. Improved when 200-1 fourth over 2m here last month; the second best on hurdles form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/1 -227%) Dasher |
9/1(-227%) | (2) Dasher 9/1, Showed plenty when placed in a pair of bumpers last season and bred to be suited by this longer trip on hurdle debut. Made the frame in both bumpers last season; makes hurdling debut after one-year absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (100/1 -100%) The Big Man |
100/1(-100%) | (6) The Big Man 100/1, Isn't badly bred and has hinted at ability but will make more appeal in handicaps in due course. Probably flattered by proximity to principals when tenth on hurdle debut at Newbury. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (18/1 -13%) Clifton Mist |
18/1(-13%) | (1) Clifton Mist 18/1, Kapgarde gelding. Dam fairly useful hurdler (15f winner in France, stayed 21f). Market for clues. Out of a useful French hurdle winner but probably best watched on debut outing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
IDEFIX DE CIERGUES finished 10 lengths clear of the third when touched off in handicap company at Wincanton and has a big opportunity now back in a maiden. He can take a step forward and get off the mark at the fifth time of asking over timber. Tommys Charm filled the runner-up spot in a point-to-point before changing hands for 30,000 pounds and he needs to be monitored in the betting, while Dasher is one to watch out for on his hurdles bow.
IDEFIX DE CIERGUES produced an improved effort when narrowly denied in a Wincanton handicap last month and a reproduction of that form could be good enough to go one better back in maiden company. Mad Mike (engaged 2.03 Exeter Friday) and Dasher are considered the main dangers.
He's unproven on heavy ground but IDEFIX DE CIERGUES brings a pretty good piece of handicap form into this maiden and gets the vote.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (6/4 +50%) Bubble Dubi |
6/4(+50%) | (4) Bubble Dubi 6/4, Let down by his jumping when remote third in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) on debut over fences in October but quickly back on track returned to hurdles when third over 2m at Huntingdon and Haydock before Christmas. Should give another good account. Only 1-11 but he's on a competitive mark and usually gives his running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 +0%) Zambezi Fix |
3/1(+0%) | (3) Zambezi Fix 3/1, Won this race off the same mark last year and arrives on the back of a win and second in 2m chases here in recent months. Big player. Won this last year off the very same mark and has been in good nick over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (14/1 -75%) Three Cliffs Bay |
14/1(-75%) | (6) Three Cliffs Bay 14/1, Left hurdles debut behind when winning a 2m Ffos Las novice (heavy) in November. Performed to a similar level when third to a useful type upped to 2½m at the same course next time but his subsequent Taunton handicap debut effort was disappointing. Bounce back needed. Solid heavy-ground exploits and the ground was good when quiet on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (14/1 -155%) Storming Nelson |
14/1(-155%) | (5) Storming Nelson 14/1, Unpromising in points but made a bright start over hurdles, winning a 17f Exeter novice on New Year's Day. Bit disappointing switched to a handicap at Sandown since but it's still early days. Novice winner on heavy; handicap debut was a struggle and this mark looks challenging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (100/1 -203%) Kojin |
100/1(-203%) | (9) Kojin 100/1, Fairly useful performer on the Flat in Ireland but failed to make a significant impact over hurdles there and no promise in a hurdle and AW Flat handicap since joining this yard. Could only consider if backed. Dual Flat winner in Ireland; poor runs for this yard under both codes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (50/1 +0%) Jack In The Box |
50/1(+0%) | (7) Jack In The Box 50/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles and similar form over fences for Gordon Elliott but pulled up both starts for new yard in recent months. Zambezi Fix has to be considered the yard first string unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Pulled up over fences and hurdles for current yard and he's not the percentage call. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (8) (10/1 -150%) Not Now Kanne |
10/1(-150%) | (8) Not Now Kanne 10/1, French Flat winner. Fair form in a juvenile hurdle there last March. Didn't shape too badly considering he pulled hard when sixth of 14 in 2m Taunton novice hurdle on yard debut and was in the process of running well (close up) when falling at the last on Hereford handicap debut 26 days ago. Flat winner in France on heavy; in with a shout when coming down late on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BUBBLE DUBI wasn't disgraced when third at Haydock in December and his rating remains unchanged. Stuart Edmunds' gelding is only 3lb higher than his sole winning mark and he can get his head back in front. The main danger might be Zambezi Fix, who has been first and second over fences here the last twice and is an interesting contender back in this sphere. Of the remainder, Storming Nelson makes some appeal on only his second handicap start.
ZAMBEZI FIX can enhance his good Chepstow record and land this race for the second year running. Not Now Kanne was in contention for a place when coming down at the final flight on his Hereford handicap debut and may give the selection most to do ahead of Bubble Dubi.
The 7yo BUBBLE DUBI (nap) is preferred, as he's been consistent over hurdles and returns from a break with his yard having winners.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (9/2 -176%) Thor De Cerisy |
9/2(-176%) | (2) Thor De Cerisy 9/2, Has improved with each run for her current yard and was holding a clear lead when falling last in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) 28 days ago. Up 4 lb but still looks weighted to gain compensation. Heavy-ground specialist; set to win before last-fence fall at Uttoxeter last month; up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 +0%) Walkinthewoods |
9/2(+0%) | (5) Walkinthewoods 9/2, A fair winning hurdler who arrives in good nick over fences, second of 9 in handicap over C&D (heavy) 31 days ago. Well in the mix despite taking a 2 lb rise. 0-4 over fences but got back on track with close second over C&D (heavy) last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/2 -13%) Midnight Ginger |
9/2(-13%) | (1) Midnight Ginger 9/2, Reliable hurdler who went in on only her second run over fences in 3-runner handicap here (16f, heavy) 25 days ago. Effective over this longer trip and must enter calculations. Finished with a flourish from unlikely position to win over 2m here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/4 +25%) Good Friday Fairy |
9/4(+25%) | (3) Good Friday Fairy 9/4, Made it 2-4 in this sphere in 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) 28 days ago, though was held in third (Thor De Cerisy in front) when left clear at the last. Still needs considering. Was lucky to win last month but is now 2-4 over fences and may still have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (3/1 +63%) Blue Hop |
3/1(+63%) | (4) Blue Hop 3/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner but has evidently had his problems and well below his best on both chasing starts at Cheltenham and Doncaster this winter. Yet to get going over fences but there have been excuses, and he still has potential. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY pulled seven lengths clear to make it two out of his last three at Uttoxeter last month and he remains in cracking form. Ben Clarke's gelding is rapidly improving and he doesn't look one to take on just yet. Walkinthewoods can put up the biggest fight after being denied by just under a length over C&D, and he should go well off 2lb higher. Last-time-out course winner Midnight Ginger is another to keep an eye on.
THOR DE CERISY arrives on the up for Neil Mulhollland and is fancied to bounce back in style from a last-fence fall at Uttoxeter when in command. Midnight Ginger has come late to fences but got off the mark here last time and rates the chief danger with scope for further improvement in this sphere. In-form pair Walkinthewoods and Good Friday Fairy both command respect too.
Low-mileage 7yo BLUE HOP has made a quiet start to his chasing career but has considerable scope for improvement if/when things click.

1st (12) (12/1 +33%) Classic Concorde |
12/1(+33%) | (12) Classic Concorde 12/1, Into the veteran stage of his career but has thrived this season, winning 5 times. Not discounted for all that his run of good form was halted last time. Fifth win last August-December was C&D (soft); scale of defeat latest start is a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (3/1 +60%) Supremely West |
3/1(+60%) | (10) Supremely West 3/1, Unbeaten in bumpers and bright start over hurdles in recent months, landing novice events at Carlisle/Sedgefield. Runner-up last two outings, going in snatches when second in handicap at this course last time. Longer trip should suit, so he's a big player. Rallied for second on handicap debut here (heavy); this is his first foray beyond 2m5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (7/1 +36%) Bells Of Peterboro |
7/1(+36%) | (9) Bells Of Peterboro 7/1, Generally consistent sort who found improvement to score over fences at Chepstow last time. Perhaps slightly better in that sphere but merits consideration nonetheless. Engaged 4.10 Exeter Friday. Surged back to his best with a chase win on heavy going here; back in serious calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/1 +9%) Monmiral |
10/1(+9%) | (1) Monmiral 10/1, Smart hurdler is yet to fully improve upon that form over fences. Better than result last twice and should benefit from return to this sphere. 2021 Grade 1 winner but there too many doubts on recent evidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (33/1 -313%) Glimpse Of Gala |
33/1(-313%) | (4) Glimpse Of Gala 33/1, Generally consistent and made a mildly encouraging start to chasing on return. Ran badly back over hurdles last time, though, so has something to prove. A flop back over hurdles latest (good to soft) but today's more testing ground should help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (11/2 +50%) Minella Blueway |
11/2(+50%) | (11) Minella Blueway 11/2, Winning Irish pointer who confirmed previous promise under Rules when easily opening his account in a course maiden in December. Disappointing in small-field handicap since but still early days. Impressive win here; needs better than handicap debut effort but early days and new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (9/1 +25%) Collectors Item |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Collectors Item 9/1, Dual novice hurdle winner last season and has run to a similar level over fences this season. Pulled up at Haydock 56 days ago and reverted to smaller obstacles now. Stays 3m well; flopped on latest chase start; back hurdling in need of a career best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (22/1 -144%) Conkwell Legend |
22/1(-144%) | (6) Conkwell Legend 22/1, Useful winning handicap hurdler who was in the process of leaving his previous chasing efforts behind when falling 3 out at Exeter last time. Interesting back over hurdles. Had just taken the lead in Exeter chase (3m, heavy) 13 days ago when falling three out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (22/1 -57%) Alaphilippe |
22/1(-57%) | (3) Alaphilippe 22/1, Useful hurdler who hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons. Made a sound start over fences when second at Carlisle in October but below that level since and unsteated back in this sphere at Lingfield a month ago. Pipped in 2022 Final; off 588 days before this term; unseated back hurdling last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (10/1 -54%) Thanksforthehelp |
10/1(-54%) | (8) Thanksforthehelp 10/1, Amiss when last seen but type to go well fresh and leaves the impression there's a bigger effort in him. Won this readily last year and has likely been primed for a big run. Off since May; good shout judged on impressive win in this (good to soft) 12 months ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (25/1 -14%) Gentleman At Arms |
25/1(-14%) | (7) Gentleman At Arms 25/1, Useful sort who looked back to something close to his best when landing an 11-runner handicap at Aintree (3m, heavy) in November. Has failed to back it up since and visor needs to have a positive effect. Doughty win at Aintree but reverted to heavy defeats on both starts since; new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (9/2 -64%) Walking On Air |
9/2(-64%) | (2) Walking On Air 9/2, Gained a second win over hurdles in Exeter handicap (23.1f) in February, before a good fifth in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. Made late mistakes when ninth at Punchestown in April, but encouraging chasing debut at Newbury on return and looks likely to go well again. Fifth in the Final last year and close call on chase debut this season; major claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A tentative vote goes to CONKWELL LEGEND, who was leading and going well when falling three out in a veterans' handicap chase at Exeter last time. A return to hurdles looks like a shrewd move and conditions should be in his favour. Grade 1 winner Monmiral and Walking On Air also revert to the smaller obstacles, with the latter's Newbury second given a big boost since. Last year's winner Thanksforthehelp and Supremely West are just a couple more to consider.
SUPREMELY WEST is going the right way and shaped like this step up in trip would suit when second here last time, so he takes preference over Walking on Air and Monmiral, a pair of clasy sorts who should be helped by the switch back to hurdling.
Most have to be taken seriously but slight preference is for WALKING ON AIR ahead of Thanksforthehelp.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (3/1 +25%) Prince Quali |
3/1(+25%) | (4) Prince Quali 3/1, A fair winning chaser in France in early 2022 who has come on in his three runs for his current yard, second of 4 in handicap chase at Plumpton (17f, soft) 12 days ago. Can go well again. Raised 4lb for two recent near misses but his turn looks very near. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (14/1 -100%) Dr T J Eckleburg |
14/1(-100%) | (5) Dr T J Eckleburg 14/1, Two-time 2m chase winner this term and posted another solid effort when third of 4 at Wincanton (15.7f, heavy) 7 days ago. One for the shortlist despite being 1 lb out of the handicap. Little margin for error off this mark and he had a hard race on heavy ground last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (15/8 +32%) Saint Segal |
15/8(+32%) | (1) Saint Segal 15/8, Yet to score this term but he is holding his form well. Stumbled and unseated his rider soon after 1st in handicap at Sandown (15.4f, good) 21 days ago. This smart C&D winner is very much the sort to bounce back, Having a solid campaign this season and has been unlucky; deserves a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (5/1 -25%) Mount Tempest |
5/1(-25%) | (3) Mount Tempest 5/1, Firmly on the up since the blinkers went on, scoring at Sandown and Wetherby either side of Christmas. Posted another excellent effort when third of 6 back at Sandown (15.4f, soft) last time, doing best of those aggressively ridden. Player off the same mark. First defeat since blinkers went on when beaten 8l into third at Sandown; again ran well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
SAINT SEGAL may have failed to complete on two of his last three starts, but he remains on a workable mark going by his solid runner-up effort at Lingfield last month. The six-year-old has won over C&D before and he may have too much for the hat-trick-seeking Quel Destin, who beat the selection's Lingfield conqueror First Flow at the Welsh National meeting here. A winner twice this winter, Mount Tempest failed in his own bid for a three-timer at Sandown but is still capable of being in the shake-up.
A case can be made for all of the quintet but Dan Skelton's thriving MOUNT TEMPEST is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having had too much use made of him when an excellent third at Sandown last time. C&D scorer Saint Segal figures on a handy-looking mark though and rates a big danger, with Quel Destin and Prince Quali also firmly in the picture.
A tight handicap but SAINT SEGAL will surely have a major say if his jumping can stand the test. Prince Quali is second choice.

1st (4) (11/4 +8%) Twilight Glory |
11/4(+8%) | (4) Twilight Glory 11/4, Off the mark in a handicap chase at Lingfield last February and having struggled since, caused a surprise when doubling his career tally at this course (23.6f, heavy) last month. 6 lb higher now and would be a serious danger if arriving in the same mood. Just held on to win on heavy ground here (2m7f) last month; likely contender again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/2 +30%) Williamdeconqueror |
7/2(+30%) | (7) Williamdeconqueror 7/2, Yet to win a race of any description but went very close at Lingfield on return in November. Failed by a long chalk to repeat that next time but back on track when third at Taunton (26.3f, good to soft) 8 weeks ago. Not out of things. 0-7 over fences but has posted two good efforts this season and is fine on heavy ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 -45%) Felton Bellevue |
4/1(-45%) | (2) Felton Bellevue 4/1, Arrives in very good nick, runner-up on 3 of his last 4 starts (latest at Southwell 24.3f, soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Every chance he can go one better back up in trip. Admirably consistent this season but would appeal more on better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (16/1 -167%) That'll Be The Day |
16/1(-167%) | (1) That'll Be The Day 16/1, Maiden hurdle winner on Rules debut in Ireland back in March 2021 but little impact in various race-types since, including 7 starts in this sphere. Soundly beaten in two 2m3f chases for new stable last month; tries new trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/2 +59%) Concrete King |
9/2(+59%) | (3) Concrete King 9/2, Four-time winner between the flags but he's 0-17 under Rules and was again let down by his jumping at Southwell last time. His effort there in December was encouraging, so he's not completely dismissed from a tumbling mark. Close third in first-time cheekpieces in December but well beaten twice since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (11/1 -69%) Pageant Material |
11/1(-69%) | (6) Pageant Material 11/1, Been below form of late, tried in headgear last 2 starts, and yet to win away from Ffos Las. Back over fences and hopes pinned on a significant step up in trip and different headgear sparking her back to life. Suited by heavy ground and very well handicapped but out of form over hurdles lately. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (15/2 +17%) Gibberwell |
15/2(+17%) | (5) Gibberwell 15/2, Got off the mark over fences at Hexham last April and arrives in form, seeming unsuited by the track when 7½ lengths seventh of 12 at Carlisle (24.5f, soft) earlier this month. Each-way claims. Pretty consistent in recent months and very well suited by heavy ground; a player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TWILIGHT GLORY just denied a progressive rival over an extended 2m7f here last month, so a subsequent 6lb rise might not be enough to prevent Tim Vaughan's gelding from following up. Having occupied the runner-up spot on his last two starts, Felton Bellevue is unlikely to be far away along with Williamdeconqueror, who boasts a fairly consistent profile over the larger obstacles.
This can go the way of FELTON BELLEVUE, who has hit the crossbar on 3 of his last 4 starts and this looks a good opportunity for Ben Case's 10-y-o to snap a losing streak stretching back over 2 years. Twilight Glory caused a shock when bouncing back to form here last month so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Williamdeconqueror and Gibberwell.
This might go to GIBBERWELL, who has been in pretty good form in recent months and will be very well suited by today's ground.

1st (4) (7/1 -40%) Leech |
7/1(-40%) | (4) Leech 7/1, From the family of smart hurdler (stayed 19f) Local Hero and debut over C&D wasn't devoid of promise. Will likely need plenty of improvement if he's to open his account, though. Showed only minor promise when well-held third of four here on debut in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/2 -56%) Midnight Venture |
7/2(-56%) | (7) Midnight Venture 7/2, Out of a bumper/fairly useful 2m-23f hurdle winner and represents an in-form yard, which boasts a healthy strike-rate in bumpers (17% in recent seasons). Worth chancing to make a winning start. Second foal; dam dual heavy-ground bumper and quite useful hurdle winner; appeals on paper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/4 +72%) Andy Amo |
5/4(+72%) | (1) Andy Amo 5/4, Sageburg gelding. Brother to fair 2m hurdle winner Valens Bruyee. Dam unraced. Notable newcomer in a thin race. Brother to stable's 2m hurdle winner Valens Bruyee; market may point the way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 -43%) Jumble Jury |
5/1(-43%) | (3) Jumble Jury 5/1, £10,000 3-y-o, £17,000 5-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat in Germany, sister to useful hurdler/chase winner (stayed 23f) Jaleo. Successful on second of 2 starts in points (May 2023). One to consider. Bought for £17,000 after winning good-ground maiden point last May; makes rules debut here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (22/1 -10%) Ocean Frontier |
22/1(-10%) | (8) Ocean Frontier 22/1, Frontiersman filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Translink, while dam was a 2m-21f hurdle winner. Yard 0-7 in bumpers and she is opposable on debut here. Half-sister to two low-grade Flat winners and a fair hurdler; stable quiet in bumpers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (7/1 -133%) Brave Ruler |
7/1(-133%) | (2) Brave Ruler 7/1, Showed ability when fourth over C&D but looks more one for the longer term. Beaten about 19l when fourth over C&D on debut but this race looks easier. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 +0%) Don't Cheddar Tear |
50/1(+0%) | (6) Don't Cheddar Tear 50/1, Limited appeal on paper and probably best watched this time. First foal from a 3m2f chase winner; stable not known for bumper winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (80/1 +20%) Noble Recall |
80/1(+20%) | (5) Noble Recall 80/1, Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree and was down the field at Kempton first time out. Hard to make a case for. Tailed off when 300-1 for recent debut at Kempton (soft); can't be recommended. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Brave Ruler showed up well for a long way on his debut here, despite being sent off at 125/1, and he should be more streetwise with that experience under his belt. Jamie Snowden boasts a good strike-rate in bumpers this season, though, and MIDNIGHT VENTURE, whose dam was a dual heavy-ground bumper winner, gets the nod. Leech is likely to make his presence felt, while Andy Amo merits close inspection in the betting ahead of this racecourse bow.
MIDNIGHT VENTURE is out of a bumper winner and her stable has a decent record in this sphere, so could get off to a successful start in a race that doesn't appear all that strong on paper. Andy Amo also makes appeal on pedigree and Jumble Jury should be considered having won a point.
This looks quite a bit easier than the heavy-ground C&D event in which BRAVE RULER finished fourth last month, so he gets the nod.
