4/6
Ran well to finish fifth in a valuable bumper at Newbury (good-to-soft) in March and off the mark at the first attempt over hurdles when successful at Newton Abbot (heavy) over an extended 2m5f last time out. Steps up in trip today.

4/1
Winner of his last three outings in point-to-points for this stable including at Trecoed (good) last time out. Tongue tie and cheekpieces worn on two most recent starts are retained for today's rules debut.

6/1
Signs of ability when finishing 3L second in a point-to-point at Largy (good-to-yielding) on his debut in the spring. Purchased for £25,000 subsequently and worth a check in the market on his hurdling debut.

20/1
Unraced son of Presenting bought for €22,000 as a three-year-old. Dam is an unraced half-sister to the useful Celestial Wave. Interesting to see how he fares on his racecourse debut.

15/2
Decent chaser and successful four times over fences including over an extended 3m4f at Taunton (good-to-firm) in June. Raced off a mark of 132 when last in action in that sphere and he makes his first hurdles appearance in over four years today.

250/1
Well beaten in a couple of bumpers and a similar story when finishing 68L eighth on her hurdling debut at Towcester (good-to-firm). Wears cheekpieces for the first time stepping up markedly in trip today.

Forecasts

The Hollow Ginge (4/6), Ballyknock Cloud (4/1), Coeur Pensif (6/1), No Buts (15/2), Cojack (20/1), Tinseltown Girl (250/1)

Verdict

THE HOLLOW GINGE can follow up his recent debut success in this sphere by defying a penalty stepping up to this trip for the first time today. Confirmed stayer Ballyknock Cloud was progress in point-to-points last season and having won his last three starts in that sphere he can take second for rookie handler Jack Barber. Useful chaser No Buts stays this trip well and can claim third on his return to hurdles.
  1. The Hollow Ginge
