Annual Invictus⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: J E Moore| T: C Gordon

4/1

Was a winner of a point-to-point at Toomebridge (3m) on just his second racecourse appearance, where he was much better that his disappointing debut. Set for his opening start under Rules here. Worth consideration.

Form: P-1

Bring The Bacon^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Adrian Heskin| T: T R Gretton

20/1

Sulamani gelding whose dam was unraced but is a half-sister to Ryde Back who prevailed in a bumper. Will wear a hood on his debut start. Likely to be better with experience on his side so others are preferred.

Form:

Counteract

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: M G Nolan| T: Miss S Smith

15/2

Dr Massani gelding whose dam was a winner of a bumper at this course. She also turned into a useful hurdler and chaser. Interesting newcomer who can't be ruled out on his opening appearance on the track here.

Form:

Right Hand Of God³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

25/1

Failed to shine on his debut at Ascot (1m7½f) when he was 12th of 16 runners, beaten by 47L after weakening inside the closing stages of the race. Needs to take a big step forward this time to challenge for the placings.

Form: 0

Russian Exile

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.⁽³⁾| T: C L Tizzard

9/2

Pasternak gelding whose dam was lightly raced but is a half-sister to Psychomodo who was useful over hurdles and fences at trips up to 2m4f. Stands out on paper from this leading yard. One to consider.

Form:

Jungle Prose⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: L P Aspell| T: N J Gifford

14/1

Finished sixth of 12 on her debut at Fontwell (1m5½f) back in October. She was hampered with 3f to go in that opening run but she was fading at that point after going off at 11/1. Others appeal more.

Form: 6

Kilconny Bridge¹⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A J Honeyball

10/11

Was impressive when she prevailed in her sole appearance to date in a point-to-point at Inchydoney (3m). Set for her first run under Rules now after being sold for £75,000. Leading contender to score once again.

Form: 1

Wessington Park

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Pte Alexandra Bell⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lampard

100/1

Bollin Eric filly whose dam was successful in a point-to-point. She is also a half-sister to a point-to-point winner. Market likely to speak volumes about her chances of success on this opening appearance here.

Form:

Non-Runners

Windswept Girl

Forecasts

Kilconny Bridge (10/11), Annual Invictus (4/1), Russian Exile (9/2), Windswept Girl (5/1), Counteract (15/2), Jungle Prose (14/1), Bring The Bacon (20/1), Right Hand Of God (25/1), Wessington Park (100/1)

KILCONNY BRIDGE was successful on her only racecourse appearance so far which came in a point-to-point. She has since been sold for £75,000 and can follow up that victory with another win here on her Rules debut. Russian Exile and Windswept Girl are both interesting newcomers who can have a say in this race on their debuts and may well come home in that respective order.
