Showed very little on debut and likely to need more time. Yard have been a little quiet in recent weeks.
Disappointing at Towcester last time and has only displayed a modicum of ability on either of his previous two starts. Will do better with time.
Ask gelding, cost €10,500 in 2015. Promising form in a pair of point-to-point efforts and market likely to reveal expectations.
Winner of a point-to-point in June 2016 but pulled up on first two rules starts. Moderate improvement last time but needs to plenty more to figure.
Well beaten on first three starts but managed to place at odds of 150/1 on most recent start. Will need to improve again but trainer and jockey have a 27.12% strike-rate when teaming up and jockey rides this course well so not dismissed out of hand.
Helissio gelding, cost €11,500 in 2015. Won a point-to-point on his final start in that code and interesting to see what the market makes of him in first start under rules. Suspicion is that he may want more of a stamina test than this.
His pedigree and form to date marks him out as a horse who will find this longer trip to his liking. Jumping has some for room for improvement but he looks the one to beat in this contest. Usually runs his race and should go well.
Improving with every outing and finished a close up third at Perth last time. This probably a stronger race and he does looks a little vulnerable to anything above average. Place claims.

Old Harry Rocks (5/6), Petiville (5/2), Burrows Lane (11/4), Global Bonus (7/1), Broken Quest (8/1), He Is Rosy (20/1), Billy Elliott (25/1), Best Practice (25/1), Adman Sam (25/1), Coco Live (33/1)
OLD HARRY ROCKS has more scope than most in this field and he should go well for a yard in good form. Petiville holds a place chance once again after another solid run last time out and he has a similar profile to Burrows Lane. Global Bonus can't be dismissed after placing at big odds last time and he may prove to be the value in the line up.
