C&D winner here in November and sets the standard on that form. Stable have been under a cloud, but recent signs have been more encouraging.
Dual bumper winner on bad ground, but his two attempts over hurdles have been marred by jumping errors. Clearly has the ability to win one of these when getting his act together.
Signs of ability despite the wide margins he has been beaten so far. May need more time and the future opportunity to run in handicaps.
Picked up for £55,000 after splitting a useful pair in an Irish point-to-point. Off the track almost two years, but could prove good enough if market suggests he is ready.
Claims on his Irish form which includes a point-to-point win on heavy ground. Not so good since arriving in this country and he has shown signs of temperament.
Well beaten in three maiden hurdles to date and likely to be of more interest once eligible for handicaps.
Has improved since going hurdling, but his form is still well below the standard that will be required to win this.
Took a big step forward here last time in a decent contest. However, his point-to-point win came on good ground and he may be one to note when conditions improve.
Well-beaten on all starts so far and it is doubtful she has the ability to play a prominent role this time.
Forecasts
The Last Day (2/1), Air Navigator (2/1), Another Emotion (4/1), Kings Monarch (4/1), Court Duty (20/1), Babytaggle (25/1), Alltimegold (66/1), Concealed Ambition (200/1), Moynihans Girl (200/1)
The Last Day handles this track on testing ground so has to go on the shortlist. However, his stable have been struggling for winners and ANOTHER EMOTION is preferred. The newcomer represents a top yard and his point-to-point form suggests he might be better than these if ready for his first run in almost two years. Air Navigator would be a threat if his jumping improved and King's Monarch may want better ground.
