Getaway Withit61
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: Miss R Curtis
7/1
Half-brother to chase/hurdles winner Hangover finished midfield on debut at Newbury in January and though improvement is likely he rates a more long-term project.
2
Horse silk
Mister Watson
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: B Pauling
11/1
Son of Mawatheeq cost €23,000 as a three-year-old. Flat basis to his pedigree so may have the requisite pace here but yard's seven percent strike rate in bumpers recommends some caution.
3
Horse silk
Ocean Drifter113
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood
5/1
Bought for £100,000 after winning third and final Irish point-to-point in December. Trainer won one of 11 bumpers this term and best guide today may well be the market.
4
Horse silk
Precious Momento366
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: D M Loughnane
50/1
Son of Casamento had misfortune of bumping into Shishkin on debut where he was beaten 31L into seventh 12 months ago. Doubt there are any such stars here but he is still best watched.
5
Horse silk
The Edgar Wallace26
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls
2/5
Clear form setter based on third at Exeter and second at Doncaster both in considerably bigger field especially considering he was beaten a little over 1L each time. Will be hard to beat today.
6
Horse silk
Beacon Fox
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-7| J: R T Dunne| T: B Eckley
50/1
Son of Yorgunnabelucky out of an unplaced maiden both on the Flat and over hurdles. Represents small yard and best watched here.
7
Horse silk
Marie's Girl
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans
66/1
Newcomer by Passing Glance out of a very ordinary mare whose two previous progeny are maidens of 13 races. Makes little appeal.

Forecasts

The Edgar Wallace (2/5), Ocean Drifter (5/1), Getaway Withit (7/1), Mister Watson (11/1), Precious Momento (50/1), Beacon Fox (50/1), Marie's Girl (66/1)

Verdict

This looks a very good opportunity for twice placed THE EDGAR WALLACE whose two races are easily the most persuasive form in this contest. Point winner Ocean Drifter ought to be competitive on Rules debut and he is preferred to Getaway Withit who is likewise expected to be a chaser further down the line.
  1. The Edgar Wallace
  2. Ocean Drifter
  3. Getaway Withit
