3/1
Flat debut for this dual bumper winner (including Cheltenham Listed raced) who didn't really look a natural over hurdles. Intriguing runner here and a big player even if the trip may be sharp enough.

Nothing if not consistent, having finished third in his last five starts, all over 10f on all-weather surfaces. Upped in trip outside of handicap company but 72 rating leaves him vulnerable.

Reliable Man gelding beaten 7½L into fifth of 11 on debut at Kempton last month over 1m3f. Can improve but certainly needs to here.

9/2
Manduro gelding made favourite on debut at Kempton and collared late on over 1m3f. With normal improvement expected he looks sure to make a bold bid here.

Stormy River gelding only beaten 1¾L into fourth on debut at Kempton but Kashi was a close second there. Both can improve but no obvious reason he turns the tables.

Casamento filly never really involved when fifth of six on debut at Kempton over 1m3f and hard to fancy after that.

Well held in 1m4f maidens at Kempton and Beverley and looks one for low-grade fillies handicaps after today.

11/4
Beautifully bred Nathaniel filly improved on midfield 1m debut run a two when second over 1m3f at Kempton latest although she rather threw away a winning chance when veering badly left; big chance if she keeps straight.

Midfield in two starts so far (1m at Newbury and 1m2f at Windsor). More needed but hood added and yard she represents is alone a reason to not give up hope.

Forecasts

Float (11/4), Urban Artist (3/1), Raventree (10/3), Kashi (9/2), Cafe Milano (10/1), Lemon Song (18/1), Gentleman At Arms (22/1), Pickyourown (33/1), Atailof Two Cities (50/1), Anisoptera (80/1)

Verdict

Two horses who finished second over 1m3f at Kempton last time out headline the contest with slight preference for FLOAT who probably would have won but for veering badly left when challenging; hopefully Callum Shepherd is ready to remedy any such action here. Andrew Balding's Kashi did little wrong on debut and there really is little between he and the selection. Classy bumper performer Urban Artist is an intriguing contender and certainly not one to take lightly.
