15/8
Remains a maiden after eight starts over hurdles, but the cheek-pieces are applied for his chasing debut. His best effort so far came on good ground at Kelso in October (third).

5/1
Her trainer won this race in 2017 with a horse who went onto run up a sequence, but this mare (a point-to-point winner in 2015) was well beaten on her rules chasing debut at Wetherby last month (2m5f+).

6/4
On a stiff mark over hurdles, and whilst he started off well enough over fences (C&D) in November, he's not really kicked on yet. Finished third at Carlisle last week (2m5f), so we know he's well, and this race is weak.

5/1
A maiden after 12 starts under rules over fences (1 from 25 in point-to-points). Posted improved efforts the past twice at Market Rasen and Ayr (both 3m), but tough to get over excited about her in all reality.

Forecasts

Mcginty's Dream (6/4), Ceegem (15/8), Nelly La Rue (5/1), Kilcullen Lady (5/1)

Verdict

A very poor turnout, and a race to be contested by a quartet with career statistics of 1 from 46 under rules, so the best advice is to keep your hands firmly in your pockets. CEEGEM tackles fences for the first time with cheek-pieces newly applied, and seemingly less exposed than the remainder receives the truly tentative nod.
  1. Ceegem
  2. Mcginty's Dream
  3. Nelly La Rue
