18/1
Dam won twice in point-to-points after the birth of this foal and is half-sister to 2m7f chase winner Silver Commander, out of a bumper-winning full-sister to smart bumper 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Crocadee. Interesting on debut. Market check.

10/1
Triple Flat winner over 1m4f and currently rated 65 in that code. Best efforts have all been on good or good to firm ground, so heavy conditions very much a concern for him on his stable/hurdles debut. Market check prudent.

1/10
Irish maiden point-to-point winner who has shown promise on both starts under rules. Made the frame at both Wetherby (2m3½f, good to soft) and Chepstow (2m3½f, heavy) and is very much the one to beat on that evidence.

66/1
Well beaten in both starts which have been here in bumpers on heavy ground. Plenty of success and 2m4f and beyond, including over hurdles, in his pedigree, so may do better now but hard to see him winning based on what he has produced so far.

100/1
Remains a maiden in point-to-points after 15 attempts and his belated tules debut at Newcastle last time offered little hope that he is about to break that duck in this sphere. Others readily preferred.

Forecasts

Just Don't Ask (1/10), Hurricane Volta (10/1), Geronimo (18/1), Mr Sandgate (66/1), Trust Me I'm A Dr (100/1)

Verdict

A very moderate opener where it is hard to envisage anything being good enough to beat JUST DON'T ASK, whose hurdles form is very much the strongest in the field. Geronimo is an interesting debutant and is would be no surprise to see Sandy Thomson's gelding show promise, while Hurricane Volta is in good hands and stays well, though conditions are definitely a concern based on his public form.
