Placed in four point-to-points to date, and didn't do too badly when fifth in a bumper at Exeter last year, but overall is likely to find this too much of a speed test and others look stronger.
Walked over at Sedgefield latest but had previously pulled up in a point-to-point at Bartlemy and has plenty on here.
Better effort at Chaddesley Corbett latest, just going down in a driving finish, but a half-brother to a 3m winner and will surely find this too sharp a test.
Has run well against a couple of decent types in Opens this season, and didn;t shape too badly when finishing midfield in a similar bumper to this at Aintree, but already tried in cheekpieces and may find others stronger.
Bred to have a bit more speed than a few of these, and has already won a point-to-point at Sheriff Hutton this year, so clearly has ability. Decent jockey booking too and looks the one that might give My Dance the most to do.
Half-brother to hurdles winner Banana Flambe, second in a point-to-point at Trecoed last time but looked more about stamina than speed there. Others preferred.
Winner of an Open Maiden at Littlewindsor on debut, and form looks solid as second has gone in since. Bred to have a bit of speed about her and looks to take all the beating here.
Better effort on second of two point-to-point starts when runner up at Cothelstone but that form requires improvement, although there are at least Flat winners in the family. ,
Forecasts
My Dance (8/13), Pistol Shoot (7/1), Taylormade Boy (8/1), Irish Legionnaire (9/1), Whiskey Baron (12/1), Askphilmor (14/1), Jimmy High (14/1), Ober Water (25/1)
This looks a very winnable race and the form of MY DANCE makes her stand out here. She should have too much speed for most of these. Taylormade Boy has at least shown some good form and looks the best of the rest. Pistol Shoot can take home the minor money.
