50/1
In good hands but has shown no form, and signs of temperament to boot. No realistic chance.

20/1
A regular on the flat at Bath, where his best efforts have come on quicker ground than he will encounter today. His winning form is only moderate anyway, and looks one for handicaps down the line. Can only be watched today.

66/1
Showed only a glimmer of ability in a point-to-point last October but nothing on recent hurdles debut, and needs huge improvement to get involved.

1/6
A ready winner on heavy ground at Uttoxeter on debut for the yard in January, and far from disgraced on latest start when third to the Supreme-bound High Bridge at Newbury. That form easily sets the standard here, and looks the one to beat.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-1| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard
13/2
Showed a bit of promise on debut in a bumper at Chepstow, but too green to do himself justice, and didn't pull up any trees on recent hurdle start at Fontwell. Looks one for the future rather than today.

Ruzeiz8
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-1| J: L P Aspell| T: P Hedger
50/1
Regressive on the flat and got no further than the first on hurdles debut at Wincanton, and no realistic chance here.

Virginia Chick25
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Ring(3)| T: Evan Williams
9/2
Definite signs of promise on debut in an Exeter bumper, staying on nicely from the rear without being knocked about. Related to some useful sorts and will want further in time. Not without hope of hitting the frame if jumping fluently on hurdles debut today.

With Pleasure28
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: J L Flint
14/1
Did win one of his 13 starts on the Flat but that was only a moderate event, and may have stamina issues on this ground, regardless of the fact it's his hurdles debut today. Best watched.

Forecasts

Multiculture (1/6), Virginia Chick (9/2), Quiz Master (13/2), With Pleasure (14/1), Captain George (20/1), Ruzeiz (50/1), Arkadios (50/1), Merchant In Milan (66/1)

Verdict

This is a great chance for MULTICULTURE to get on the scoresheet again after a very solid third to the classy High Bridge at Newbury. He has no issues with the likely heavy ground and this looks his to lose. The rest are much of a muchness, with Virginia Chick preferred for the runner up spot after a promising debut at Exeter and Quiz Master possibly the best option for third.
