Good Risk At All⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: S Thomas| D

10/1

Confirmed debut promise when grinding out a listed success at Cheltenham 3 months ago but that race looked sub-standard for the grade, so likely to prove vulnerable under a penalty.

Form: 21

Autonomous Cloud⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Adrian Heskin| T: C L Tizzard

40/1

Well-bred 5yo who overcame inexperience when landing the odds in an Exeter bumper 79 days ago. Bare form of that doesn't amount to much but he's open to improvement.

Form: 1

Bill Baxter⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| D

6/1

Runner-up in a point prior to readily landing a bumper at Fakenham 48 days ago. Looks well above average, so could play a part in this.

Form: 21

Gelino Bello⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

8/1

Has a quality French pedigree and looked a good prospect when quickening up smartly to score at Plumpton first time out. Form has a strong look to it and there's more to come, so one to note.

Form: 1

Jack The Farmer³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryan Carver| T: K Woollacott

200/1

Bred to need more time and down the field at Exeter on debut, so hard to make a case for.

Form: 0

Jersey¹¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

18/1

Presenting gelding who is bred to need further and could only finish fourth at Ascot on debut 113 days ago. Plenty to find.

Form: 4

Might I⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: H Fry| D

5/2

Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Binge Drinker and bumper winner Stattler, so no great surprise when he made a successful start at Warwick, and he's well worth his place in this grade.

Form: 1

Risk D'Argent⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph

40/1

Fell on his sole start in points and, while he has showed plenty to work on when runner-up in a couple of bumpers, he's likely to be outclassed in this company.

Form: F-22

Merry Mistress³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: M Sheppard| D

33/1

Clear-cut winner on Hereford debut (heavy) before disappointing in listed event at Market Rasen on final outing for Tom Symonds. Remains with potential.

Form: 17

Horn Cape²²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

7/2

3/1, won 9-runner bumper at Argentan (12.4f, soft). Off 7 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving E. Grall. Very interesting recruit for top connections.

Form: 61

I Like To Move It⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

10/3

Impressive winning start to his career at Aintree and supplemented that when landing the odds at Wincanton 5 weeks ago. Limit unlikely to have been reached, so boasts leading claims.

Form: 11

Non-Runners

Mucho Mas⁵⁷

Weight: 11-2| Age: 5

Forecasts

Might I (5/2), I Like To Move It (10/3), Horn Cape (7/2), Bill Baxter (6/1), Gelino Bello (8/1), Mucho Mas (8/1), Good Risk At All (10/1), Jersey (18/1), Merry Mistress (33/1), Autonomous Cloud (40/1), Risk D'Argent (40/1), Jack The Farmer (200/1)

I LIKE TO MOVE IT has shown bags of quality to land his first couple of starts to date, powering clear in ready style at Wincanton for the latest success 80 days ago, so he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record moving into listed company receiving weight-for-age from the bulk of his rivals. Debut-winners Gelino Bello and Bill Baxter could lay down the strongest challenges to the selection.
