11/8
Returning from wind surgery when finishing runner-up over C&D on good ground last time out. Drop in trip appeared to suit that day and is one to note in this contest.

Castledhem

2/1
Unraced gelding by Alkaadhem cost connections €17,000 at the sales in June last year. Half-brother to a couple of winners and is of interest for a stable with a 40% strike-rate (2/5) in recent weeks.

Richidish
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-11| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore
7/1
Unraced son of Spanish Moon purchased for £36,000 11 months ago. Half-brother to useful hurdler Lareena and represents a good yard on first racecourse appearance.

Risks Emery
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-11| J: J McGrath| T: M RobertsWS
20/1
Unraced Vision D'Etat gelding bought for £12,000 in December. Half-brother to four winners over hurdles and market support would be notable on racecourse debut.

Betty Battens18
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-9| J: Kevin Jones(3)| T: M Hawker
100/1
Beaten 51L when finishing 13th of 16 in a 2m bumper at Chepstow (good-to-soft) on debut earlier this month. Others make more appeal.

Horse silk
Jeans Genie
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Stock(5)| T: M Keighley
20/1
Unraced home-bred daughter of Kayf Tara out of a mare who won on the Flat and five times over hurdles. Worth a check in the market on debut.

5/1
Unraced daughter of Rip Van Winkle cost connections €28,000 at the sales in spring last year. Half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Sublimity among others and hails from a top yard on debut.

Forecasts

Milkwood (11/8), Castledhem (2/1), Whocalledmespeedy (5/1), Richidish (7/1), Jeans Genie (20/1), Risks Emery (20/1), Betty Battens (100/1)

Verdict

WHOCALLEDMESPEEDY receives weight from all bar one of her rivals and she can make a winning debut in the concluding bumper. The selection is a half-sister to a Champion Hurdler and she can improve on trainer Dan Skelton's 37% strike-rate (19/52) in recent weeks. Second place can go the way of Richidish who hails from a good local stable while Milkwood who finished second here last time out can finish third on this occasion.
