Horse A-Z
1
Horse silk
12/1
Impressive winner on his sole point-to-point start but yet to really fire under rules. Not seen since making modest stable debut at Kempton (2m, beaten 23L) but represents in-form yard.
2
Horse silk
10/1
Impressive winner of his bumper at Fontwell in March 2017 and returned from mammoth absence with 5L defeat at Ffos Las (2m) in December. Has another slight absence but likely there is more to come.

100/1
8L winner on final point-to-point start but bombed out on first two starts under rules. Never on terms eighth at Doncaster (2m3f) in December and looks to have plenty to prove.
4
Horse silk
66/1
Very uninspiring in three starts under rules. Fared little better than previous efforts when 36L seventh at Leicester (2m) in December. Not seen since and plenty more is required on form book.

13/2
Encouraging efforts in France but took his time to come to hand for this yard. Outran his odds with 9L defeat at Ludlow (2m) last time out. Likely to come on for that but bit to find on ratings.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: Page Fuller(3)| T: A Stronge
50/1
Easy winner of last point-to-point start before bombing out on rules debut for previous trainer. Last seen finishing 43L sixth behind impressive winner at Doncaster (2m) in January so plenty more is needed.
Outsider for both of his starts to date and ran to them expectations in each of them. Arguably regressive when beaten 29L lengths last time out and is merely best watched at the moment.

Meagher's Flagt12
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs S Leech| OR:  106
66/1
Modest mixed-performer at present who was last seen pulling up over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m) in January. Two poor efforts on the AW since so makes limited appeal in this.
10
Horse silk
50/1
Taken on some high-class opposition in three starts under rules but rarely failing to trouble. Beaten 32L on hurdles debut at Wincanton (2m) last month and needs a major step up to be competitive.

6/5
Low-grade handicapper on the Flat for Charlie Hills and put disappointing C&D on hurdles bow behind him with two promising efforts, including third of 16 at Ludlow (2m) in February. Leading contender on that form.
12
Horse silk
20/1
Only completed one of his three starts over hurdles to date when defeated by 54L at Lingfield (2m). Incredibly unlucky over C&D last time when saddle slipped and rider unseated so hard to judge on that.
13
Horse silk
28/1
Showed some promise when with Gordon Elliott in Ireland but well-held since for this yard. Put in some better signs when 12L fifth at Carlisle (2m1f) and may go on slightly more from that.

7/2
Useful performer on the Flat for this yard and was of interest on hurdles bow and certainly ran well when 1L third in 2m Uttoxeter maiden hurdle. May well go on for that and holds leading claims.
15
Horse silk
20/1
Four-year-old gelding by Iffraaj who raced five times in France for John Hammond. Best effort came when 3L defeat at Deauville in the Summer before switching to this yard. Market will guide.

Forecasts

Rhosneigr (6/5), Land Of Winter (7/2), Funambule Sivola (13/2), Fazayte (8/1), Chez Castel Mail (10/1), Beyond Redemption (12/1), Soldier To Follow (20/1), Yaazaain (20/1), Special Brute (28/1), Getabuck (50/1), Motdepas (50/1), Meagher's Flag (66/1), Just A Deal (66/1), Down To The Sea (66/1), Cremant (100/1)

Verdict

A whole host of unexposed types make up this field but recent Uttoxeter third LAND OF WINTER is in receipt of weight from a host of his rivals and looks to have the scope to progress significantly. Similarly Chez Castle Mail got his career back on track last time out after a long absence and could be set for more improvement, if the bounce factor does not strike, while Rhosneigr cannot be ignored as he looks to be getting the hang of things along and the same principle can be applied to Fazayte.
