Horse silk
Diger Daudaie22
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon
17/2
Former point-to-point winner who showed the benefit from hios rules debut to win over 2m6f at Newcastle last time out. Carries a 6lb penalty for that success but going the right way and has to merit a second look in the betting.

Chinensis242
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies
9/4
Swapped hands for £82,000 at the Doncaster sales in May after stellar performances in winning three point-to-points on the bounce. Been off for a while but is in the right hands. Suited by the trip too. Shortlisted.

Horse silk
Clondaw Robinp,h18
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cheesman(5)| T: Miss Z C Davison
100/1
Modest former pointer that has shown very little in three previous starts under rules. Others more convincing here.
4
Horse silk
Colonel Keating35
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: A Glassonbury| T: R Rowe
16/1
Winner of a point-to-point in April and may have been in need of the run on debut under rules in November. Big step forward still required though.
5
Horse silk
Duarigle35
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson
12/1
Bred to have an impact over jumps and has already won a point-to-point. Rules form has been nothing special so far; hard to recommend as one to follow on the route to riches at this moment in time.
6
Horse silk
Due South38
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Garner| T: Mrs L C Jewell
100/1
Well beaten in all three starts so far (which have been well spread out over the last three years). Anything better than his previous start will be a bonus - the gelding finished last of 18 at Lingfield in November.
7
Horse silk
El Hageb Rose14
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore
40/1
Went for £85,000 as a three-year-old but three starts so far have been inconclusive as to his ability as a hurdler. Needs to start improving quickly; the step up in trip might help but likely he's best watched just now.
8
Horse silk
Geordie B20
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Miss V Williams
11/4
Yard starting to wind things up a bit just now and have been rewarded with a few well placed winners. This fellow is on the upgrade too and looks ready fro a crack over this distance. Shortlisted.
9
Horse silk
Go George Go17
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith
100/1
No better than an average handicapper on the Flat and has a poor record since switching codes. Others readily preferred.
10
Horse silk
Hugo's Reflection20
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: B I Case
66/1
Only hinted at ability so far and has plenty to find if he's going to reverse Hereford form with Geordie B on a literal reading of their encounter last month; stiff test ahead.
11
Horse silk
King Of The Sharks299
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: Miss Z C Davison
20/1
Winner of a couple of point-to-points, this 54,000 purchase (as a 3YO) looks an interesting recruit for his small yard. May need the experience but worthy of a place in the notebook as one to follow as he gains experience.
12
Horse silk
Samburu Shujaa22
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR:  125
9/4
Yet to win over hurdles from 7 previous starts but did go close at Warwick on his penultimate outing. Reverted to type last time though and now has a bit to prove. Steps up in trip and jockey booking an obvious plus, so still worth a betting check.
13
Horse silk
Speedy Buck242
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore
25/1
Carries useful form over from his point-to-point days and is a nicely-bred individual. Might just need this experience of hurdles though.
14
Horse silk
Noisy Neighbourv45
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-5| J: Graham Carson(7)| T: L Allan
100/1
Previous two starts have been very poor and the gelding is very difficult to recommend on the evidence of those well-beaten runs.
15
Horse silk
Oldtown Pollyt1240
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: B G Powell
66/1
Point-to-point winner in Ireland but not yet shone over hurdles and looks one to be wary of just now. First time fitting of a tongue tie might help bring improvement but may still not be enough.

Forecasts

Samburu Shujaa (9/4), Chinensis (9/4), Geordie B (11/4), Diger Daudaie (17/2), Duarigle (12/1), Colonel Keating (16/1), King Of The Sharks (20/1), Speedy Buck (25/1), El Hageb Rose (40/1), Oldtown Polly (66/1), Hugo's Reflection (66/1), Due South (100/1), Clondaw Robin (100/1), Noisy Neighbour (100/1), Go George Go (100/1)

Verdict

Venetia Williams has her string in good order just now and the in-form yard may be worth siding with again as GEORDIE B takes the next step froward in his development. The step up in trip can be expected to suit and the gelding is a worthy candidate in a race that lacks a lot of strength in depth. Chinensis looks an interesting recruit for an equally highly respected yard, while Diger Daudaie is not out of this despite picking up a 6lb penalty for winning last time out. Support in the betting for Samburu Shujaa could also be rewarding to follow if the odds are attractive enough for a place bet.
  1. Geordie B
  2. Chinensis
  3. Diger Daudaie
