Barney Boy22
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-6| J: James Banks| T: N Lampard
200/1
Was pulled up at Wincanton on his return to the track, having not raced since 2013, and has no obvious chance today.

Dashing Perk56
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland
7/2
From a respected yard that is very capable of having him primed for his first start over hurdles. His form in bumpers and a point-to-point reads well and looks worthy of consideration here.
3
Horse silk
Earlshill45
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton
9/4
Going the right way and his previous Jumping experience only bolsters his claims. His yard was back amongst the winners this week so plenty of ticks in the right boxes.
4
Horse silk
Imperial Bay36
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling
3/1
Got going late on his debut but showed glimpses of ability but may need more time to come to hand.

Horse silk
Limoncello18
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: Chester Williams(7)| T: Nick Williams
66/1
Ex pointer who has shown little form to date under rules and hard to envisage others will not have his measure here.
6
Horse silk
Lord Bryan52
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen
6/1
Can make the running if he has to but this trip may be the limit for him just now and he will do well to resist all comers on this ground.
7
Horse silk
Next Level37
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: P E Cowley
200/1
Shown little to suggest a win is around the corner and not one for betting purposes this time around.
8
Horse silk
Pine Warblert146
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: C Gethings(5)| T: S Edmunds| OR:  117
12/1
Acts on the ground and should stay the trip but in his own time and appears too one paced to pose a threat.
9
Horse silk
Twist On Ginge22
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: William Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies
8/1
The World's End, who runs earlier on the card, is worth noting to see if he can boost the merits of this fellow's form. Ran well in a bumper here back in October so has nothing to fear from the undulating surface. Capable of going close in this company.

Forecasts

Earlshill (9/4), Imperial Bay (3/1), Dashing Perk (7/2), Lord Bryan (6/1), Twist On Ginge (8/1), Pine Warbler (12/1), Limoncello (66/1), Next Level (200/1), Barney Boy (200/1)

Verdict

It may be best to concentrate on EARSHILL and Twist On Ginge, with the former open to plenty of improvement and looking the more interesting contender at this precise moment. He is a staying chaser in the making but was pretty deft at his hurdles on debut so can be expected to know what’s required from him. Dashing Perk an Imperial Bay are others to keep tabs on from here. 1. Earlshill 2. Twist On Ginge 3. Imperial Bay
