5/6
Points recruit who has rattled off two impressive wins at Newbury on soft ground either side of a lesser effort in heavy conditions at Cheltenham. Remains a smart prospect and likely to make a bold bid despite conceding weight all round.

Horse silk
Oistrakh Le Noir14
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-5| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR:  131| BF
3/1
Winning French recruit who scored for this yard at Market Rasen (soft) in February. Travelled best for a long way on his handicap debut at Newbury (2m3f, soft) but just edged out by Mister Chow after a last flight blunder. Respected.

Horse silk
Act Of Valour24
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: P F Nicholls| OR:  136| D
2/1
A 97-rated Flat performer who was an impressive winner at Newcastle on his hurdling debut but hasn't quite kicked on and was down the field in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham last month. Clear player here receiving weight from two principal rivals.

Chimes Of Dylan57
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: T E Whelan| T: N B King
150/1
Only moderate form in bumpers and beaten 34L on his hurdling debut at Doncaster before an even less encouraging effort at Kempton when sent off 150/1. Hard to enthuse over right now.
5
Horse silk
150/1
Bits and pieces of bumper promise in 2015/16 but pulled up in his first two hurdling starts before toiling badly at Huntingdon recently after a 600+-day absence. Not hard to overlook.
6
Horse silk
By Railh44
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-7| J: J M Quinlan| T: N P Littmoden
66/1
Victorious on the Flat over 1m2f in France but unconvincing on his hurdling for this yard at Kempton before taking step backwards with a blundering, hard-pulling effort at Huntingdon. Likely to need more time.

Forecasts

Pacific De Baune (5/6), Act Of Valour (2/1), Oistrakh Le Noir (3/1), By Rail (66/1), Chimes Of Dylan (150/1), Relight The Fire (150/1)

Verdict

Pacific De Baune sets a good standard here on the back of two impressive Newbury wins but a defeat in between at Cheltenham suggests he's not bombproof and successfully conceding 6lb and 12lb to Oistrakh Le Noir and ACT OF VALOUR respectively may prove too big an ask. The latter - who wasn't entirely discredited in the Fred Winter - comes out particularly well on these terms, especially if able to recapture the sparkle he showed when winning at Newcastle in December.
  1. Act Of Valour
