All About You

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Joe Anderson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

10/1

Thewayyouare gelding that fetched 5,500 euros as a foal and £8,000 as a three-year-old. Taken a while to get to the track but yard know how to ready one and market check crucial.

Form:

Djebel Rome³¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: R Menzies

7/2

Well held in a couple of point-to-points and picked up by connections for £14,000 last May. Rules debut today and should know his job.

Form: 43-

Harry The Potter

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant

50/1

Sulamani gelding. Dam unable to complete course in points. Related to a few winners in this sphere and market will be a good guide to chances on debut.

Form:

Ian's Gift

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Colm McCormack⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley

66/1

Brian Boru gelding that cost 11,500 Euros back in 2016. Taken a long time to get to the track. Probably best watched here unless market screams his name.

Form:

Rintulla⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling

2/1

Fifth foal, half-brother to a couple of hurdles/chase winners (both were good stayers) and dam an unraced half-sister to a Topham Chase winner. Needs to very much improve on first two starts but still early days.

Form: 37

Slainte Mhor¹²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Blair Campbell⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

7/1

Son of Milan bought for €40,000 at the sales in August last year. Well held having tried to make the running at Ayr on debut in October and now returns from a break.

Form: 6

Supervisor⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

85/40

Flemensfirth gelding cost €54,000 last year at auction as the second foal out of an unraced dam from the family of several good hurdlers. Looked in need of the run on debut and this longer trip should suit.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Rintulla (2/1), Supervisor (85/40), Djebel Rome (7/2), Slainte Mhor (7/1), All About You (10/1), Harry The Potter (50/1), Ian's Gift (66/1)

The market will provide plenty of clues but SUPERVISOR shaped with promise on debut and this longer trip should suit today. All About You is an interesting newcomer for a yard that do well in this sphere and can chase the selection home.
