18/1

€21,000 Sirocco half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Kilbrew Boy. Dam unraced, out of useful 2m hurdle winner Titled Dancer. One of 2 runners from stable. Betting should help to separate them.

Our Surprise¹¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: H Fry

11/2

£50,000 buy after getting off the mark at second time of asking in Irish points in October. Goudhurst Star looks stable first string on jockey bookings but this one still needs monitoring in betting.

Form: 21

11/2

€85,000 Milan gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/smart hurdler (stays 19f) Quick Grabim. Of obvious interest on debut for leading stable.

Sherborne⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard

10/3

Cost £105,000 and made an encouraging start to his career when second at Hereford in November. Stable looks to be hitting form again. Major player with improvement on the cards.

Form: 2

Time For Timone

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales

7/2

€4,500 Mahler gelding. Half-brother to useful chaser The Kings Writ. Yard not known for its bumper prowess.

Form:

Soul Icon

100/1

Sixties Icon gelding. Dam (h94), 19f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stays 3½m) Seaston Spirit. Yard 1-9 in bumpers in last 5 seasons. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Sherborne (10/3), Time For Timone (7/2), Kyntara (4/1), Reilly (11/2), Our Surprise (11/2), Guardino (6/1), Goudhurst Star (7/1), Chosen Shant (14/1), Lunar Lander (18/1), In Our Dreams (50/1), Soul Icon (100/1)

The Colin Tizzard team is back among the winners so SHERBORNE gets the nod to build on his Hereford second in November. Kyntara is a potentially dangerous opponent having joined Kim Bailey on the back of a comfortable point win. Goudhurst Flyer and Reilly also make paper appeal in a contest where the betting could prove informative.
