May well have won but for falling at the last at Ffos Las on latest start, but previous form when winning easily at Warwick makes him stand out in this field. A reproduction of that would be more than good enough.
Completely out of his depth in a Listed race at Huntingdon last time, finishing tailed off, but had previously sprung a 50/1 shock when winning a maiden hurdle at the same track. That form only moderate, but it's more than most have shown in this field.
Shown nothing in two flat outings last year. Hurdles debut today, and tongue tied first time, but no realistic chance.
Promise on debut at Chepstow in October but didn't build on that at Ascot a month later, pulling too hard early. Not seen since and this simply looks too hard.
No promise on debut at Ffos Las in December, and only a modicum of it in four point-to-point runs.
Pulled up all three starts to date. Cheekpieces and hood go on today, and they need to have a major impact.
Some ability in point-to-points but barely went a yard on debut at Ludlow on debut, looking most reluctant. Can only be watched after that display.
Bit better at Bangor last time but that's not saying much. Step up in trip may help but won't be of interest until handicapped.
Well beaten all six starts, going off big prices every time. Can't be considered as a likely winner.
Glimmer of ability on debut at Bangor but nothing in two starts since. Will need a trip in time and of little interest today.
Jumped poorly on debut at Leicester in November and not seen since. Nicely bred and may do better in time, but needs to find some technique first.
Shaped quite nicely on debut at Sandown despite some indifferent jumping early on, staying on nicely under hands and heels from the last. Place chances at worst if learning from that experience.
Better on second start at Ludlow than her first, moving into contention mid-race before fading away. That form still only moderate and may be more interesting once handicapped.
Made odds-on for debut (for Philip Hobbs) but disappointing, and no better on two subsequent starts. Debut for new yard and can only be watched.
Showed a tiny bit of ability on debut at Market Rasen and may do better here, but still no realistic chance of winning this.
Well beaten all four starts and difficult to see her doing any better today.
Forecasts
Aintree My Dream (2/5), Yalltari (5/1), Finula (6/1), Barbrook Star (7/1), The Tin Miner (20/1), Autum Rain (25/1), Coopers Square (50/1), Kahaleesi (50/1), Psychocandy (66/1), Maggie's Dawn (80/1), Butlersbridge (100/1), Quigley Court (100/1), Max Dynamo (125/1), Kilmoganny (150/1), Art Looker (200/1), Catch Another (200/1)
Quantity not quality is the order of the day here, with the exception of AINTREE MY DREAM , who has shown form well in excess of anything he faces today. As long his final hurdle fall at ffos Las hasn't affected his confidence, this looks his to lose. Yaltari showed enough on his debut to think he has a future at the hurdling game, Finula will find this easier and can grab a place as well.
