4/1
Only sixth in Worcester bumper won by Ballyandy, before returning to the track after more than a year to win a contest at Sedgefield last month. Major player if building on that.
2
Horse silk
13/2
Fifth in a Haydock bumper on heavy in November when appearing to have a chance approaching the final few furlongs, place claims especially if improving for the forecast better ground.
3
Horse silk
14/1
Failed to build on decent second on Wincanton debut when finishing down the field at Uttoxeter and on that evidence would look set for a minor role again.

22/1
£9,000 purchase from the family of Synchronised. Dam is an un-raced sister to two bumper winners so worth a market check.
5
Horse silk
5/2
Only beaten a neck when showing signs of greenness on racecourse debut at Ayr on 2 Jan. Big player if learning from that experience.

7/1
Finished first and third in two starts so far, both on soft ground. A definite player if transferring that form to the expected sounder surface here.
7
Horse silk
14/1
Little to speak of from two bumper appearances so far, having previously pulled up in the Irish point-to-point which produced rules winners Finian's Oscar and Mr Clarkson. Others more appealing.
8
Horse silk
125/1
Not much to be enthusiastic over regarding 50 length defeat in first racecourse appearance at Carlisle last month. Dam won a bumper and hurdle but is but yet to producer a winner.
Nothing to get too excited about on pedigree but is a half-sister to former Willie Mullins inmate who won a maiden hurdle. Check the betting.

100/1
Beaten 31 lengths on debut at Newcastle last month. Took a strong hold that day and there could be more to come, but there are more likely winners of this contest.

50/1
€2,400 granddaughter to the useful Beparoejojo and half-sister to intermediate and staying hurdle winner Bop Along. Other newcomers are more likely sorts.

Horse silk
4/1
Out of a hurdle winner over 2m and 2m3f and a half-sister to half-sister to Registana, a Velka Pardubicka winner. Worth a check in the market.

Forecasts

Hello Fellas (5/2), Sliding Doors (4/1), The Linksman (4/1), Another Stowaway (13/2), Hermanus (7/1), Drops Of Jupitor (14/1), Brunel Woods (14/1), Cool Mix (22/1), Go Go Lucas (50/1), Side Of The Road (66/1), Budarri (100/1), Katy Royal (125/1)

Verdict

There are a few it wouldn't be surprising to see to improve and take this, in addition to a couple of interesting newcomers. Cool Mix, is definitely worth a check in the market but in terms of those we've seen before perhaps HELLO FELLAS can provide the answer. In all honesty he should have won at the first attempt, and would have done but for running green for much of the race. With that run under his belt he can overcome The Linksman, who's already won under rules. 1. Hello Fellas 2. The Linksman 3. Cool Mix
