Horse A-Z
€20,000 3-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Successful sole start in points and impressive in making a wining Rules/hurdle debut in a Wetherby maiden (2m) last month, forging clear. Big player under a penalty.

7/4
Fairly useful form over hurdles in France, off the mark in 15-runner handicap at Compiegne (2¼m, soft) in June. That form has a solid look to it, so he merits strong consideration on UK/stable debut.

£5,000 4-y-o half-brother to 4 winners, including useful chaser General Principle (2m-29f winner including Irish Grand National). Made frame completed start in points but others preferred on Rules bow

Timeform
Dam bumper/2½m-21f chase winner. Produced a promising first effort when third of 13 in a Fontwell bumper in November. Nice hurdle prospect.
|
Timeform
Cost £20,000 after finishing runner-up on his second start in Irish points. Shaped as if he'd come on for his midfield effort in a Doncaster novice (16.5f) last month but rates yard second string.
|
Timeform
Just modest form in a pair of bumpers. Likely to need time and distance judging on pedigree.
|
Timeform
£14,000 Arcadio half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Misala and fair hunter chaser Excitable Island. Yard can ready a newcomer, so worth noting if market vibes are positive.

Shaped as if in need of the experience on bumper debut here 10 weeks ago. Might need more time and distance over jumps.

Schiaparelli mare who rates a longer-term prospect judged on low-key exploits in pair of bumpers to date.

80/1
Out of a modest winning hurdler and ran to only a similar level in a Sedgefield bumper on debut in December. In good hands but she's likely to find easier hurdle assignments in due course.

Dreams Of Home (4/5), Raf Tavel (7/4), Gulliver Collonges (5/1), Gamalou D'alene (16/1), Royal Arcade (20/1), Obey The Rules (50/1), Your Place (50/1), Pure Surf (80/1), Pitempton Power (150/1), Ferney Green (150/1), The Jad Factor (200/1), Economic Editor (200/1)

Verdict

A winner of his sole start in points, DREAMS OF HOME was impressive when scoring with a good deal of authority on hurdles bow at Wetherby last month and he's fancied to maintain his 100% record here. Raf Tavel showed fairly useful form when winning himself in France last summer and comfortably rates the chief threat. Gamalou D'Alene and Gulliver Collonges can do battle for minor honours.
