Horse silk
The Boss's Dream59
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR:  100| BF
4/1
0-10 over fences and never really flourished in this sector of his game. Very well handicapped in comparison to his hurdles rating but plenty has to be taken on trust.

Horse silk
Waikiki Waves45
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-11| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR:  99| C
11/2
Versatile regarding the trip but noteworthy he's never won over this far and needs everything to go right for him (pulled up when tried over 3m2f before). Also up 4lb after winning over 2m here last time. Respected but also risky at the same time.
3
Horse silk
Hepburnp,t63
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-9| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: A Stronge| OR:  97
16/1
Still a maiden but possible she has more to offer after only three previous starts over fences. The mare does have to up the ante though.
4
Horse silk
Foxy Lassp34
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR:  97
33/1
Outpaced over 2m4f here last time and has a big query about her stamina to answer. Others look more convincing. (Also lacks experience with just one previous outing over fences to her name.)
5
Horse silk
Danseur Du Large24
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: J J Burke| T: P Gundry| OR:  93| D
13/2
Ran in snatches over this trip latest and, despite that being his best effort since joining his current yard, the gelding has a lot to prove.
6
Horse silk
Big Time Frankb129
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: P Gundry| OR:  92
7/2
Highly consistent since he returned from a break and possible the fitting of blinkers will give the gelding the extra element that has been lacking near the finish in recent outings. Big chance of finally gaining a deserved win in this company.
7
Horse silk
Burgess Dream34
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-3| J: P J Brennan| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR:  91| CD
6/1
Narrow winner over C&D in December (bt Big Time Frank by a nose) and followed up at Fontwell in the same month (on Boxing Day). Wasn't so good over hurdles last time but cannot be ruled out back over fences. Career best required though.
8
Horse silk
Goring Onep22
Age: 14|  Weight: 10-9| J: Rex Dingle(5)| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR:  83| C
9/1
Finished tailed off latest but the veteran had previously shown he's no back number when outgunning Big Time Frank her over 2m4f last month. Solid chance of upholding the form at the weights . Merits consideration.
9
Horse silk
Snowball70
Age: 12|  Weight: 10-3| J: James Bowen| T: D W P Arbuthnot| OR:  77| D
10/1
Behind Burgess Dream and 7l adrift of Big Time Frank over C&D last time (similar ground conditions) and respected on that effort. Hard to see him reversing the placings though.
10
Horse silk
What Larksb47
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-2| J: Tom Cheesman(5)| T: Dr J R J Naylor| OR:  76| D
12/1
His only previous win was gained over this trip but the gelding has a long losing sequence to his name since then. Hard to see him turning back the clock despite a plummeting handicap mark.
11
Horse silk
Canyouhearmenowp22
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-1| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR:  75
25/1
Winner at Fontwell last March and only raced twice since then due to wind surgery. Possible he needed the outing last time but he's closely matched with Goring One on a literal reading of that form. Worth a betting check.
12
Horse silk
Onurbiket142
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Bargary| T: J G O'Neill| OR:  71
33/1
Low-grade handicapper set to race from out of the weights and has plenty to prove after failing to complete either of his last two starts.

Forecasts

Big Time Frank (7/2), The Boss's Dream (4/1), Waikiki Waves (11/2), Burgess Dream (6/1), Danseur Du Large (13/2), Goring One (9/1), Snowball (10/1), What Larks (12/1), Hepburn (16/1), Canyouhearmenow (25/1), Onurbike (33/1), Foxy Lass (33/1)

Verdict

A risky one to get involved with as a handful of these are old rivals that are closely matched. However, the fitting of blinkers might provide BIG TIME FRANK with the additional concentration aid he seems to require to see out his races. He gets the nod in slender preference to Burgess Dream and Goring One. A betting move for Canyouhearmenow could also be rewarding for an each-way punt if the odds are attractive enough.
  1. Big Time Frank
  2. Burgess Dream
  3. Goring One
