4/1

Related to above-average jumpers and shaped promisingly when third in a Ffos Las bumper on debut in October, not ideally placed. Gelded since and open to improvement.

Form: 3

7/4

€72,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Paranoid and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Kilbarry Way. Stable’s first-timers usually fancied.

Not Sure²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee

6/1

Bred to need time and distance and shaping accordingly when fifth of 10 at Ludlow on debut 23 days ago, finishing with running left.

Form: 5

Little Else⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: J Scott

5/1

Midnight Legend filly who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests in a 13-runner contest at Newton Abbot on debut 55 days ago. Expected to build on that and not ruled out.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Montys Medoc (7/4), Getastar (4/1), Name In Lights (4/1), Little Else (5/1), Not Sure (6/1)

MONTYS MEDOC ticks the right boxes on paper being a half-brother to a bumper winner, so he's fancied to strike at the first time of asking for his top stable. Getastar seems likely to step up on an encouraging debut at Ffos Las and is considered the main threat.
