1/10
Point-to-point and bumper winner who scored on his hurdling debut at Fontwell by 17 lengths. Made all on that occasions and looks sure to progress although has to give weight away all-round here.

Jebs Gamble17
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: N J Gifford
8/1
Two modest starts in bumpers and not really improved in two starts over hurdles and looks to have a tough task on his third start over hurdles.

Horse silk
Land League28
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: S Edmunds
7/2
Took nine attempts to get off the mark in Irish point-to-points. One run so far over hurdles (2m2f) at Market Rasen and looked one for the longer term and longer trips.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P W Hiatt
12/1
Two starts over hurdles haven't really shown much although the best of his two efforts did come on his debut here. Failed to come on for that run last time out and work to do here.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien(7)| T: A Phillips
100/1
Failed to complete in both starts in point-to-points and well held in a bumper and a maiden hurdle.

Port Lairge12
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Turner(7)| T: M C Chapman
25/1
Modest performer on the Flat over distances up to 1m4f and makes a belated debut over hurdles here.

Horse silk
The Kidp14
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn
20/1
Dual Flat winner who has failed to impress in four runs over hurdles and still has a lot to prove as a hurdler.
8
Horse silk
Midnight Bliss51
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-9| J: Bridget Andrews(3)| T: C Fryer
25/1
Placed three times in point-to-points but failed to fire in two starts over hurdles having started a big prices on both occasions.

Forecasts

Solighoster (1/10), Land League (7/2), Jebs Gamble (8/1), Mexican Jim (12/1), The Kid (20/1), Port Lairge (25/1), Midnight Bliss (25/1), Mr Pippin (100/1)

Verdict

This looks to be a straightforward task for SOLIGHOSTER as he bids to follow up his easy Fontwell victory against some very modest opposition. Land League looks the obvious one to chase him home with Jebs Gamble having a chance of a place in a weak race. 1. Solighoster 2. Land League 3. Jebs Gamble
