1/1
Won a bumper on his debut in Ireland but has been made to look pretty one paced since despite a second and third finish last twice.
2
Horse silk
33/1
Off the mark at the eighth attempt in a point-to-point at Durrow (soft) in March. Beaten 24L in a Cork hunter chase on good ground last month and beaten 17L in a winners point-to-point subsequently, when with Michael Winters in Ireland. Making stable debut for yard that does well with ex point-to-point runners.

17/2
Won a Newton Abbott bumper in July 2014 and not seen until being well beaten in Newbury bumper in February 2015. Returning for same yard/owner after a lengthy lay-off in a first-time hood.
Some promise when fifth in debut at Ludlow (form weak) and bettered that when third to Bubbles Arcade here in June, before only getting as far as the fifth last day here, again last month.

Fell on only recorded start in a 3m point-to-point on good ground, earlier this year in May.

Forecasts

Gettysburg Address (1/1), Snow Castle (11/8), Watcombe Heights (17/2), Gaelic Surprise (25/1), Patsy Oriel (33/1), Poyntzpass (50/1), Onyatoes (80/1)

Verdict

Gettysburg Address should take them along here in the early stages but looks vulnerable with his lack of pace. SNOW CASTLE, went down to a 3¼L defeat in first-time cheekpieces in a Ffos Las maiden hurdle, when fourth of eight on good ground, and should be ready to pounce when the time is right.
  1. Snow Castle
  2. Gettysburg Address
  3. Patsy Oriel
