Useful chaser who has built on earlier hurdling promise of late, landing the odds in couple of C&D novice events. Should give another good account, but this won't be easy conceding 14 lb+ all round.

Age: 11|  Weight: 10-12| J: Unknown| T: M Keighley
Bangor bumper winner on debut in December 2018. Disappointing sole subsequent start in that sphere but good second on return/hurdles debut at Southwell (15.8f) and this stiffer test should help.

Bumper winner who stepped up on previous hurdles efforts when placed at Taunton and Doncaster late last year. Tame effort at Market Rasen on latest start in January but probably worth another chance.

Modest maiden on the Flat (0-22 in that sphere). Little impact on C&D hurdles debut earlier this month, and similar story at Fontwell on Tuesday.

Modest maiden under both codes and has plenty to find if he's to trouble the principals here.

Le Grand Rocher278
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-10| J: Unknown| T: D Pipe
£10,000 buy after winning an Irish maiden point last year. Showed precious little on Rules debut but she did at least step up on that when fifth in a 12-runner Southwell novice (20.4f) recently.

Beaten just one rival home in total following 3 starts in bumpers, and it's impossible to make a case for her now switched to hurdles.
Timeform
Poor maiden on the Flat. Showed some aptitude for this game when third here (18.5f) in July but she was beaten 27 lengths.

Verdict

This step up in trip promises to suit CALUM GILHOOLEY, who made an encouraging start to life over hurdles when runner-up at Southwell and is taken to go one better here. Templepark has to be feared in his bid for a C&D hat-trick but he has to concede lumps of weight all round and a bigger threat may be posed by Floating Rock.

  1. CALUM GILHOOLEY (IRE)
  2. FLOATING ROCK (GER)
  3. TEMPLEPARK
