Horse silk
Jade's Legend21
Age: 7|  Weight: 12-0| J: Lizzie Kelly(5)| T: Miss A Murphy| OR:  102
9/2
Still a maiden but best effort to date came when placing last time out. May need more relief from the handicapper to be considered for win purposes.
2
Horse silk
Ding Ding6
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR:  100
9/2
In the form of her life of late but the suspicion is the handicapper has caught up with her. Still can't be ruled out in current form if this run doesn't come soon after a placed effort last week.
3
Horse silk
Straits Of Messina30
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: R Johnson| T: T Symonds| OR:  100
7/2
Hit a good run of form before a lengthy absence. Still fairly low mileage for his age and ran a fine race on comeback. Gets the services of the Champion Jockey for the first time and one of the likelier contenders.
4
Horse silk
Silver Ticket215
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-11| J: J E Moore| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR:  99
25/1
Unplaced on first six starts and has a significant break to overcome. Best efforts came on final start but still plenty to find one would think. Jockey booking a positive, mind.
5
Horse silk
Blake Dean13
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR:  97
40/1
Won two moderate affairs at Perth but out of form this winter and two poor starts for this yard since the switch; tough to fancy.
6
Horse silk
Bohernagoreh33
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-8| J: Frankie Penford(10)| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR:  96
6/1
Won well under this inexperienced rider last time out over C&D and 6lb rise seems more than fair. That was his first victory and there's a possibility he can build on that win so must be of interest here.
7
Horse silk
Thundering Homeb,t19
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N R Mitchell| OR:  94
16/1
Won off plenty higher marks than this and there was a promise on his run last time out after showing very little this winter. This trip looks more suitable and a dangerous one to rule out.
8
Horse silk
Willshebetrying33
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: L P Aspell| T: M R Hoad| OR:  91
14/1
Still a maiden after 14 runs and didn't make much of an impression when staying on for a remote fifth on return to hurdles last time. Others preferred.
9
Horse silk
Amron Kalit70
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR:  90
11/1
First start for this yard and doesn't look the most fluent jumper. Unplaced on 15 attempts so hard to fancy here.
10
Horse silk
Vent Nivernaisb30
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-10| J: W Featherstone(5)| T: H J Evans| OR:  84
33/1
Failed to finish on last three starts. Drop back in trip is a positive but probably best watched until he hints at a return to form.
11
Horse silk
Cosmic Diamondt127
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-10| J: Fergus Gregory(10)| T: P R Webber| OR:  84
7/1
Only minor promise in six starts to date and she needs to improve plenty from her reappearance effort to get involved here.

Forecasts

Straits Of Messina (7/2), Ding Ding (9/2), Jade's Legend (9/2), Bohernagore (6/1), Cosmic Diamond (7/1), Amron Kali (11/1), Willshebetrying (14/1), Thundering Home (16/1), Silver Ticket (25/1), Vent Nivernais (33/1), Blake Dean (40/1)

Verdict

THUNDERING HOME has failed to shine this winter but he hinted at a revival last time out and he's very well-handicapped on old form so if he can build on that run, he may take all the beating. Bohernagore finally got off the mark over course and distance last time out and he looks good value for his 6lb rise. Champion Jockey Richard Johnson rides Straits of Messina for the first time today and he has a tendency to eek out a little improvement from horses in this grade, so with the horse being in reasonable form he's one of the more reliable types. 1. Thundering Home 2. Bohernagore 3. Straits Of Messina
