Has started at big odds and looked decidedly moderate in all starts over hurdles. Can only watch.

80/1
Well beaten in both bumpers. Flat pedigree. Hooded for hurdles debut and one to watch.
3
Horse silk
80/1
16-1 and well held here on debut in a bumper in May. Another with a Flat pedigree, but some stamina in there. Check the market for any clues on hurdles debut.
100-1 and beaten 79L on debut at Perth last month. Much improvement needed.

Went close in a bumper here last month (good to firm) but beaten 14L when favourite for another of those at Sedgefield last time. Bred to do this and likely to be a contender on his hurdles introduction.

6/1
Irish point-to-point winner. Bought for £10,000 in August. Modest National Hunt pedigree, but in a weak race, he may be capable of making an impact.

15/2
Placed in a couple of point-to-points. Bought for £16,000 in August. Half-brother to 2m hurdle winner. Probably one to watch on rules debut.
Irish point-to-point winner. Bought privately for £10,000 in August. Half-brother to a 2m hurdle winner and a point-to-point winner, out of an unraced half-sister to two hurdle winners. In good hands and can probably get involved on debut.

33/1
Hasn't shown much in three bumpers. Full-sister to 3m chase winner Spirit Of Hale, and half-sister to 2m3f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Beauboreen, so will probably do better over further in time.

Forecasts

Goldencard (11/8), Thelongwayaround (6/4), Starozov (6/1), Stoney Rover (15/2), Definite Wisdom (25/1), Fig's Pride (33/1), Barney's Caulker (66/1), Captain Kurt (80/1), Flying Dismount (80/1), Broomey Road (80/1)

Verdict

A very modest opener can go to GOLDENCARD, who has the strongest bumper form and is bred to jump. Little else makes a huge amount of appeal on paper, but Definite Wisdom, Thelongwayaround and Starozov may all be capable of making an impact in a weak race.
