Showed some decent form on the Flat when he was with Mark Johnston but has finished well held in all his three hurdles starts.

6/4
From a yard that are going really well at the moment this winning bumper horse has yet to score over hurdles despite three decent efforts so far. Made a solid start in handicaps when last seen and has potential for more to come back to novices.

15/8
Has shown up well in bumpers and over hurdles his penultimate start suggesting that he would have more to come in handicaps when he gets there. Ran a sound enough race last time and should enjoy the better ground.

25/1
Has looked rather limited so far in bumpers and over hurdles and was tailed-off when falling at the last here last time. Others appeal more; hooded first-time.
5
Horse silk
20/1
Has twice faded out of contention in bumpers rather quickly and that could have been the reason for the recent wind op. Did look to show some ability in those races though and may be able to show his true worth now.
6
Horse silk
100/1
Had no form on the Flat and didn't get the chance to show what he could do over hurdles when hampered and unseated here recently at the first. Given that performance he can only be watched for now.

7/2
Dual bumper winner who showed up well and shaped better than his final placing on his hurdles debut over C&D. Looked as though he failed to stay though and could do with a sharp 2m rather than this test.

General Allenby16
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-12| J: M D Grant| T: H Tett
10/1
Modest on the Flat (2m winner) there were some positives to take from his hurdling debut albeit he never troubled the first two. His final placing (an unthreatening 3rd) was probably the best he could manage; needs to build on that.
9
Horse silk
28/1
Little impact over hurdles so far in a couple of outings and expected to be seen to better effect in low-grade handicaps once he has a mark.

Honey P360
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-9| J: T J Phelan| T: R Woodman
150/1
Well held in a Plumpton bumper on her only start so far and makes very little appeal on her hurdles debut.
11
Horse silk
66/1
Struggled in all her starts so far and continues to show very little.
12
Horse silk
50/1
Pulled-up in both her hurdles starts separated by a break of 165 days and there is little evidence for her chance here.

Forecasts

Holryale (6/4), It's Got Legs (15/8), White Valiant (7/2), General Allenby (10/1), Mr Dorrell Sage (20/1), Maratt (25/1), Zillion (28/1), Swift Native (50/1), Remember Me Well (66/1), The Winningtipster (100/1), Honey P (150/1), Daleelak (200/1)

Verdict

With the Dan Skelton yard being in such good form at the moment it’s hard to ignore the chances of Holryale here especially as his form is amongst the strongest also but IT’S GOT LEGS comes from a yard that should always be respected here and may well enjoy the better ground. Gary Moore’s charge is given a narrow vote therefore with the race lacking depth although it will be interesting to see if dual bumper winner White Valiant can last out this trip better this time around. Of the others General Allenby may be able to get involved and a wind op might just allow Mr Dorrell Sage to show more.
