14/1

Showed more than on debut when third in a bumper at Uttoxeter 17 days ago, albeit having the run of things from the front. Likely to be outclassed.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

7/4

£32,000 3-y-o, Della Francesca gelding. Dam, French bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2¼m listed winner) Passe Partout Aulmes. Makes some appeal on paper.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan

18/1

Showed ability when runner-up in a 4-runner event at Musselburgh 6 months ago but this looks a good deal stronger.

Ask gelding. Half-brother to a point winner. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Corrieann.

Rectory Oak⁵⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Cobden| T: C L Tizzard

4/1

Not seen since a highly encouraging second at Exeter 16 months ago but, provided he retains all his ability, boasts excellent claims of going one better.

Form: 2-

Royal Pretender

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

17/2

£17,000 3-y-o, Great Pretender gelding. Dam 17f-19f winner over hurdles/fences in France. One to take consider on debut.

Form:

22/1

€37,000 3-y-o, Jeremy gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (2½m winner) Kill Devil Hill. Wears tongue strap.

Form:

Lady Jane P

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

7/2

Walk In The Park filly. Dam point winner out of fairly useful hurdler (19f winner in France) Belle d'Ecajeul. Stable’s first-timers usually warrant consideration.

Forecasts

Fan Club Aulmes (7/4), Lady Jane P (7/2), Rectory Oak (4/1), Royal Pretender (17/2), Light N Strike (9/1), Canastero (14/1), Isle Of Aron (18/1), Stoop Lead (22/1), Members Bounce (66/1), Johnofgorcombe (200/1)

A chance is taken on newcomer LADY JANE P who is actually bred to need a bit further but represents an in-form yard with an exceptional record in this sphere. Fellow newcomer Fan Club Aulmes is also interesting and Rectory Oak looked above-average when second at Exeter on debut, although he has a lengthy absence to overcome.
