A Large One Please^t1³²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J GuerrieroWS

9/1

Promising start when third in heavy-ground Chepstow bumper for Dan Skelton a year ago. Has changed yards since and also had wind surgery (tongue tie added here).

Form: 3-

Bayfriars Bobby⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

9/1

12/1, shaped like a stayer when fourth of 7 on Perth debut in August so the likely softer ground now may play to his strengths.

Form: 4

Fly By Milan

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R D Day| T: N G Richards

2/1

€45,000 Milan gelding. Brother to bumper winner Motown Girl, and closely related to 2 winners, including fair hurdler Stormy Oscar. Stable a healthy 19-74 in bumpers here.

Form:

Freezing Point²⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

11/8

£65,000 purchase after making a winning start in a British point in January. Joined a top yard ahead of Rules debut and clearly an interesting contender, particularly if market vibes strong.

Form: 1-

Rock Rebel⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie

28/1

8/1, hinted at ability before weakening to finish a remote fifth of 8 in bumper at Perth on debut 49 days ago.

Form: 5

Spider Pig⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

13/2

£50,000 Yeats gelding who showed a bit when 7 lengths third of 7 on Hexham debut last month. May do better.

Form: 3

Veshenskaya²²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: J Kington| T: A Crook

100/1

Poor form both starts and likely she's up against it again.

Form: 78-

Forecasts

Freezing Point (11/8), Fly By Milan (2/1), Spider Pig (13/2), A Large One Please (9/1), Bayfriars Bobby (9/1), Rock Rebel (28/1), Veshenskaya (100/1)

A LARGE ONE PLEASE shaped quite encouragingly on his debut last winter so is the percentage call to make a winning start for new trainer Oliver Greenall, although strong market support for Freezing Point, who has won a point, or Fly by Milan would put a slightly different slant on things.
