4/6
Bumper winner who made it fifth time lucky over hurdles when winning a Ffos Las handicap hurdle, before another win in novice company, again, at Ffos Las. Has been hammered by the handicapper up 20lb from his first win.

3/1
Did not show much in a couple of bumpers, but has taken well to hurdles, flooring an odds-on rival at Exeter three starts ago and finishing runner-up at this track, before a win at 1/10f last day.

Failed to win last twice at Worcester in June and July with Richard Johnson in the saddle. Handicapper still not giving him a chance.

Not seen since November. Will be interesting to see any improvement on last of seven, beaten 77L last day.

150/1
£10,000 foal who is a half-brother to winners Midnight Shot, Rustic Gold and Gagas Horse. Looked weak and inexperienced in a couple of runs in bumpers during 2016 and 10th of 12, well beaten on seasonal debut at Uttoxeter.
6
Horse silk
12/1
Winner of one face on the Flat and first three on his last three starts, though his last day, second of seven was a 23L defeat.
Only limited promise in two bumpers and now goes hurdling. Probably best watched on return to the track following 100+ day lay-off.

Forecasts

Positively Dylan (4/6), Foxy Act (3/1), Black Anthem (11/2), Silver Quay (12/1), Still William (66/1), Just Bryan (66/1), Musketeer (150/1)

Verdict

The game Foxy Act will take the field along here, with Black Anthem and Positively Dylan in behind. The three can battle out the finish between them, with preference for, FOXY ACT, who has taken well to hurdles, flooring an odds-on rival at Exeter three starts ago
  1. Foxy Act
  2. Black Anthem
  3. Positively Dylan
