50/1
Well held in both starts in bumpers including on soft ground at Kempton last time out. Probably best watched on hurdling debut.
2
Horse silk
20/1
Winner three times on the AW but well held on sole completion over hurdles and fell at Huntingdon last time.
3
Horse silk
25/1
Pulled up on his sole point-to-point start but ran well for a fair way when attempting to make all in an AW bumper at Lingfield recently.

1/4
Placed on all three starts over hurdles including when beaten 5L on good-to-soft ground at Warwick last time out. Has run well over this trip in the past and is a leading contender today.

11/2
Signs of ability over hurdles including when finishing third off a mark of 91 at Doncaster (soft) last time out. Likely needs to improve on that if he's to break his maiden today.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-10| J: Patrick Cowley| T: C Fryer
8/1
Placed in a couple of Towcester bumpers in 2016 but finished well beaten on hurdling debut here in November and probably best watched at present.

Forecasts

Weebill (1/4), Wisecracker (11/2), Schap (8/1), St Patrick's Day (20/1), Telegraph Place (25/1), Shouldagonetovegas (50/1)

Verdict

WEEBILL looks likely to prove hard to beat here having finished runner-up to a previous winner at Warwick last time out. Olly Murphy's charge has the trip and ground to suit today and can get the better of stablemate Telegraph Place who showed plenty of promise when making his debut last month. Wisecracker performer better following wind surgery last time and can finish third today.
  1. Weebill
  2. Telegraph Place
  3. Wisecracker
