22/1
Well beaten on all starts in Ireland for a yard without a winner for more than five seasons.

150/1
Failed to impress with his jumping on hurdling debut last month. Difficult to fancy on what he has shown so far.
Well beaten on all starts under rules including here last time. Represents a yard that have done well on previous forays when crossing the Irish Sea but still hard to fancy.

17/2
Bumper form suggests he has ability. Not disgraced on his hurdling debut and he does not have much to find to be a contender.

7/1
Made mistakes on his hurdling debut. Will know more this time and worth noting in the market for a shrewd yard.
6
Horse silk
200/1
Has been off the course 22 months having failed to show much in two runs under rules. Looks up against it here.

11/8
Showed significant improvement to chase home a highly regarded sort here on his most recent start. Will be difficult to beat if able to reproduce that form. Yard are in form and jockey booking shows intent.

100/1
Winner of a weak bumper and well beaten on both starts over hurdles. Looks well held on form.
Winner of a weak looking Irish point-to-point in a slow time. Well beaten on his bumper debut but should come on for the run. Top yard do well here and appear to have found an uncompetitive contest for his debut over hurdles.
10
Horse silk
13/2
Has improved with each run under rules. Step up in trip will help and he does not have much to find.

10/1
Form of his Irish point-to-point success does not look strong. Stable are without a winner since October.
Down the field in two bumpers at big prices. Needs to step up considerably for her hurdling debut.

Horse silk
33/1
Half-sister to five times chase winner Firth Of The Clyde. Makes a belated racecourse debut and probably best watched.

Forecasts

King Of Fashion (11/8), Pinch Of Ginger (9/2), Strong Economy (13/2), Durbanville (7/1), Dr West (17/2), The Wise One (10/1), Boogily Lane (22/1), Lady Of The Clyde (33/1), Haul Us In (50/1), Da Baba Elephant (66/1), Knocklayde (100/1), Border Victor (150/1), Firth Of Bavard (200/1)

Verdict

KING OF FASHION showed enough last time to suggest he is up to winning a race of this standard and looks the safest option. Strong Economy has shown enough to suggest he can pick up a small race and rates the biggest danger now stepping up in trip. Pinch of Ginger looks the pick of the hurdling debutants. 1. King Of Fashion 2. Strong Economy 3. Pinch Of Ginger
