Coby Nine

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

12/1

Arcadio gelding from the family of useful hurdler/chaser Fait Le Jojo. Likely to need this first appearance, but is one to watch with the future in mind.

Form:

Dark Episode

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White

10/11

Son of Getaway who cost £50,000 as a three-year-old and is from a successful jumping family. Represents a top, in-form trainer and it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of things.

Form:

Hold The Note

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Adrian Heskin| T: M R Channon

2/1

Gelding by Jeremy who fetched €24,000 last year and is a half-brother to winning hurdler Supakalanistic. Stable can ready one for bumper debut so he is another to note in the betting.

Form:

Poison Arrow

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Matt Griffiths| T: Nicky Martin

5/1

Scorpion gelding who cost €32,000 last year and is a half-brother to a winner in Germany. Stable has a decent record in these races so he is well worth noting in the betting.

Form:

Dancing Grey^p⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: David Noonan| T: Miss G Haywood

22/1

Promise in two of her three bumpers. Faces some nicely-bred sorts and it will be a surprise if she is able to match strides with one or two of them.

Form: 593

Little Robin¹²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁵⁾| T: L Hurley

66/1

Robin Des Pres mare who cost only €2,000 as a three-year-old., but is from a successful family. Beaten a long way on debut at Worcester and needs to take a big step forward on that form.

Forecasts

Dark Episode (10/11), Hold The Note (2/1), Ninth Wave (5/2), Enrilo (10/3), Winningseverything (7/2), Poison Arrow (5/1), Coby Nine (12/1), Johnny Rocco (12/1), Jakamani (12/1), Dancing Grey (22/1), Little Robin (66/1)

Plenty of guesswork involved with some leading stables saddling well-bred debutants. Dark Episode and NINTH WAVE represent a strong, in-form stable and the selection looks the yard's main hope on jockey bookings. Winningseverything, Johnny Rocco and Enrilo will probably have their supporters, while Jakamani's pedigree catches the eye and Hold The Note represents a yard which does well in bumpers.
