9/2
Consistent type who made a winning start for this yard at Hereford in November. Disappointed as favourite next time but he's respected back down in Class and it's possible there's more improvement in him.

8/1
Three-time winner on the Flat and hit the ground running for this yard in a moderate affair at Stratford. Not really gone on from that in two placed efforts this winter but the step up in trip may help.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR:  128
11/2
Form of his Exeter win has worked out reasonably well but this mark looks a little harsh on what he's achieved so far.

Age: 10|  Weight: 11-6| J: James Best| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR:  127
10/1
Been in the form of his life this winter, winning well at Taunton last time out but he has a career high mark to contend with now and there has to be a question mark over how well he'll do from this high in the weights. Even though he has won on conditions softer than this, he seemed to relish the faster ground on last two runs and he's not forecast to get that here.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: Kieron Edgar(3)| T: H Fry| OR:  117
5/2
Performed well over this trip earlier in his career and demolished a field from the front at Exeter last time out. Penalty unlikely to stop him putting up a decent show once again and dangerous if allowed to dominate.

Bingo D'Olivateh30
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: Noel Williams| OR:  123
33/1
Stepped up on all known form when bolting up at Newbury near the end of last season. Looked capable of following up before making a mistake at Lingfield two starts back returning from a break. Last start was disappointing but that run may have come to soon after Lingfield effort and he has a good chance if he returns to form.

Forecasth,t34
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Conor Shoemark| T: M Keighley| OR:  119
16/1
Former Flat recruit who got off the mark in a weak looking novice hurdle at Hereford. Not really built on that effort and prone to jumping errors so others make more appeal.
8

Kublait133
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-8| J: R P McLernon| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR:  115
50/1
Largely interrupted career and he has been pulled up on last three starts so comes with plenty of risks attached.
9
Horse silk
Give Him Time30
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-7| J: L P Aspell| T: N J Gifford| OR:  114
40/1
Unplaced of five career starts to date with. Best run came on soft ground and handicap mark doesn't look overly harsh but his jumping can be sketchy at times. Yard's in poor form and others preferred.

Horse silk
Volpone Jelois22
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: P F Nicholls| OR:  121
4/1
Useful on the Flat in France and has made a promising start for this stable so far, prevailing by a neck at this track last time out. Shapes like he'll enjoy the extra distance here and likely to progress so he's very much a live contender off a feasible mark.

Forecasts

Space Oddity (5/2), Volpone Jelois (4/1), Midnight Tour (9/2), Resolution Bay (11/2), Sleep Easy (8/1), Winning Spark (10/1), Forecast (16/1), Bingo D'Olivate (33/1), Give Him Time (40/1), Kublai (50/1)

Verdict

SPACE ODDITY put in a dominant performance last time out and he's "well in" under a penalty. He'll be difficult to pass if he's allowed to dominate from the front once again. Volpone Jelois has made a promising start to his career in this country. He's likely to prove he's well beyond this mark in time. Bingo D'olivate disappointed last time out but that run may have come to soon after his comeback effort at Lingfield. 1. Space Oddity 2. Volpone Jelois 3. Bingo D'olivate
