Horse A-Z
1
Horse silk
40/1
Has won four of his 28 point-to-point starts, but pulled up at Black Forest Lodge on his last outing and has questions to answer.
2
Horse silk
50/1
Finally broke his duck on his 22nd start when successful at Great Trethew in February, but has more on his plate here.
Boasts two wins from 18 point-to-points, and showed signs of a return to form when third at Cothelstone last time. Others preferred, however.
4
Horse silk
100/1
Unplaced in two point-to-points, four hurdles and two bumpers so he has little to recommend him.

6/5
Talented and consistent sort in this sphere. Beat only four rivals in winning his last two point-to-points, but at least those wins showed he is in good heart. His third to the very useful Wonderful Charm at Musselburgh in February is among the best recent form on offer.
Has bits and pieces of useful form in hunter chases and won a point to point at Badbury Rings when last seen in February. Each-way claims, but one or two others have more convincing profiles.
8
Horse silk
40/1
Looked a decent prospect when winning a maiden point-to-point in March, last year, but has not progressed since, which is surprising given his tender years. Needs to improve.
Closely matched with High Hatton on form and is still on the upgrade with a career record of three wins in eight point-to-point starts. Showed his wellbeing with a recent win between the flags.
10
Horse silk
6/1
Winner of three of his last four point-to-points and a capable performer who looks likely to be competitive.
One win from 12 point-to-points suggests he has some ability, but some of these have been mixing it at a higher level and he is readily opposed.

Out of sorts since winning an open maiden point-to-point last May, she is another who may find this company too hot.

Forecasts

High Hatton (6/5), Jepeck (9/4), Im All Set (3/1), Moral Hazard (9/2), Mr Raj (6/1), Driftwood Pride (20/1), Katie's Massini (33/1), Live For Today (40/1), Ambitious Pursuit (40/1), Carumba (50/1), Syracuse's Dream (80/1), Evening Stanley (100/1)

Verdict

JEPECK is a decent performer in this sphere. His consistency is an admirable quality and one which makes him the one to beat. High Hatton and Moral Hazard look the ones most likely to give him a race.
  1. Jepeck
  2. High Hatton
  3. Moral Hazard
