Odds
Horse A-Z
Fetched £140,000 after winning lone point-to-point at short odds in November when showing a good turn of foot to land a slowly run race. Trainer has a notable record in bumpers but it stands at a more modest 2-21 here since 2014.
£12,000 purchase by Morozov with speed on the dam's side of the pedigree. Stable having a good year with their bumper runners and have gone close in the last three runnings of this. Hard to fault debut effort when a truer gallop would have helped.

Horse silk
7/1
£42,000 son of Dubai Destination related to three winners who have all needed at least 2m3f over hurdles. Stable 3-14 in last two weeks.
Son of Al Namix who fetched £13,000 at Goffs in August. Stable have had a couple of bumper winners this season.

16/1
Home-bred Black Sam Bellamy gelding out of a dam who won three 3m hurdles in these colours. Stable introduced a useful sort in this race two years ago, but likely one or two of these might have too much speed.

Horse silk
33/1
Cost $275,000 as a yearling but swapped hands for just £9,000 at the sales in July. Ordinary form in two bumpers so far and he appeared not to stay this far last time.
Related to five Flat winners including multiple scorers Homeric and Boychick. Took some pushing and shoving to reach third on debut, but should improve for the experience and gets a useful allowance.

33/1
Filly by Arc winner Rail Link out of a 1m Fibresand winner. First NH runner for yard since the 2011-12 season and likely to be at long odds to make a winning debut.

Forecasts

Beyond Redemption (1/2), Sadlermor (7/2), Tension Time (7/1), Soyouthinksoagain (14/1), Blackfinch (16/1), According To Alex (16/1), Ehmaj (33/1), Anahline (33/1)

Verdict

A few possibilities in this but a race that should rest between Beyond Redemption and SADLERMOR. The former will be a short price given his trainer's record in this type of event and a stylish performance on his sole point-to-point start. It would be no surprise to see him live up to his price tag but the yard have a modest bumper record here. The selection represents a yard who have been doing well in this class all season. He was beaten by two highly regarded types on debut in a slowly run race and, with a few in this having stamina in their pedigree, it is to be hoped there is a stronger pace here.
  1. Sadlermor
  2. Beyond Redemption
  3. Soyouthinksoagain
