50/1

Gelded son of French Derby winner Darsi out of unplaced maiden jumps mare. Showed only a glimmer of ability in two Irish point-to-point and makes Rules debut now. Expected to find this a tough ask in heavy ground.

8/1

Fair NHF debut at Fontwell when runner-up in November, but no show in subsequent bumper and on hurdles bow. Shaped better after a break until unseating rider two out at Sandown last month so not dismissed out of hand.

Market Court^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: N J Gifford

100/1

Showed little on debut in NHF at Plumpton in May 2016, and it was the same again on hurdles bow after a long absence at Plumpton in January. Tongue-tied and hard to get excited about on evidence so far.

7/4

Has shown ablity on last four hurdles starts, finishing runner-up last two outings, including on heavy ground. Not out of it and should get involved again in a modest contest.

8/15

Westerner mare who won only point-to-point start in Ireland and subseqently sold for £120,000. Favourite on hurdles bow at Newbury in January, leading to 2 out before fading after 10 month absence. Better for that and has leading claims.

Form: 1-4

Forecasts

Kupatana (8/15), Pull Together (7/4), It's Got Legs (8/1), Buster Moon (50/1), Market Court (100/1)

As long as she copes with the very testing ground, KUPATANA should prove too good for her four rivals. She cost connections a pretty penny after bolting up in a point-to-point and will be sharper here than on her Newbury debut. Pull Together looks set to prove the main danger having threatened to win a race a time or two and already being proven on this ground., while It's Got Legs ran a fair race until unseating last time and looks the other probable threat.
