50/1
Failed to sparkle on his first start for his new stable recently and is best watch just for the time being.
The type to improve as he steps up in trip and gains in experience - looks set for a bit part role here.
3
Horse silk
150/1
Massive improvement required if his debut under rules is anything to go by - he would appear to need more than a hood to bring about the necessary progress.

50/1
Not much to glean from his starts up to press - he was last in a bumper and then fell on his hurdling debut. Best left alone here.

2/1
Had a good reputation from Irish points and almost delivered on the promise last time out. This looks a weak race and he heads the shortlist from those with experience under rules.
6
Horse silk
250/1
Not very much to recommend him even as an each-way hope, best left alone until he gets his act together.
7
Horse silk
7/2
Inexperienced but looks a nice prospect. He has to be of consideration in a race that lacks strength-in-depth.

5/4
Won a point-to-point in his only previous start and is with a yard that can bring the best out of him if he has progressed over the last year. Definitely one to bear in mind if he is supported in the betting ring.
10
Horse silk
100/1
Had hit his barrier when unseating his rider over fences last time out. This looks more of a confidence booster than anything and he is best left alone just for now.
11
Horse silk
11/1
Bred to appreciate a little further and looks a long term prospect. Could only find the one pace on his hurdles debut at Chepstow and, while he may benefit from the run, it's worth noting he was tried over a good deal further in both his starts in point-to-points.

Forecasts

Over To Sam (5/4), Coole Cody (2/1), Longtown (7/2), Orchard Boy (6/1), This Is It (11/1), Big Brother George (12/1), Brereton (50/1), Bandon Bridge (50/1), The Greenvet (100/1), Big Diamond (150/1), Garryduff Cross (250/1)

Verdict

This can lay between OVER TO SAM, who wouldn't need to be anything special to get off the mark in this company, and Coole Cody, who has a likeable profile and should be up to playing a strong part here. Orchard Boy is expensive to follow but may be the best of the rest. 1. Over To Sam 2. Coole Cody 3. Orchard Boy
