Quid Pro Quo¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

8/11

Half-brother to useful bumper winner and looked above average himself when landing the odds at Hereford in November. That form is working out, so he should be up to defying a penalty.

Form: 1

Allo Allo²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs F Kehoe

50/1

Placed between the flags but not enough encouragement in his Rules debut to make him of interest in this.

Form: P625

Clear On Top⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

50/1

Nicely-bred individual who was never better than mid-field at Lingfield on debut 48 days ago. Marked step forward required if he's to make his mark.

Form: 9

Hurricane Bay

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham

14/1

Malinas gelding. Dam (h106) 2½m-2¾m winner. May need further in time, but stable has a solid record in this discipline.

Form:

I'm Spellbound⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling

16/1

Closely related a bumper winner and offered something to work on when fourth at Southell 84 days ago. Plenty of improvement required, though.

Form: 4

Iontach Cheval¹⁰⁰

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

50/1

Out of a bumper winner but failed to justify strength in the betting when only sixth at Doncaster 100 days ago.

Form: 6

Pitch It Up

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

22/1

€14,500 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Fair To Middling. Dam (h65), lightly raced over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (2m-3m winner) Robbie. One to note.

Form:

Sami Bear¹³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

40/1

£10,000 Sulamani half-brother to yard's smart chaser On The Slopes. Unsuited by speed test when only eighth in bumper at Lingfield 136 days ago. Needs marked improvement to feature in this, though.

Form: 8

Westtara⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell

250/1

Looks more of a long-term project, down the field at Lingfield on his sole start to date.

Form: 0

Commander Rocks⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: J M Quinlan| T: J Butler| C

50/1

Unfancied in the betting when landing junior bumper at Huntingdon for Paul D'Arcy and failed to back it up on debut for current stable.

Form: 19

Braganza Bay

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly

17/2

Gris De Gris gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful bumper winner/useful hurdler Meet The Legend and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Kayfleur. Notable newcomer with Johnson booked.

Form:

Come Dancing²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Page Fuller| T: O Signy

40/1

Fame and Glory gelding who was seventh at Kempton on debut but should be more suited by this sort of test, so he's open to improvement.

Form: 7

Hanafy⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: S Bowen| T: K Bishop

11/1

Half-brother to 3 winners and made a positive start when third in a bumper at Lingfield 48 days ago. Could make an impression if he's able to build on that.

Form: 3

Hidor De Bersy

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Aidan Coleman| T: T Symonds

18/1

Nidor gelding. Half-brother to 6 winners, including temperamental but useful hurdler Don Bersy and fairly useful hurdler Prince de Bersy, stayed 3¼m. Makes some appeal on paper.

Form:

Red Hot Radish²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J R Fanshawe

33/1

Related to several winners but debut effort at Kempton was a bit uninspiring, so hard to make a compelling case for.

Form: 6

Season In The Sun²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

15/2

Has looked green and in need of further on both outings to date, so hard to envisage him getting seriously involved.

Form: 34

Forecasts

Quid Pro Quo (8/11), Season In The Sun (15/2), Braganza Bay (17/2), Hanafy (11/1), Hurricane Bay (14/1), I'm Spellbound (16/1), Hidor De Bersy (18/1), Pitch It Up (22/1), Red Hot Radish (33/1), Sami Bear (40/1), Come Dancing (40/1), Allo Allo (50/1), Iontach Cheval (50/1), Clear On Top (50/1), Commander Rocks (50/1), Westtara (250/1)

QUID PRO QUO looked an excellent prospect when narrowly seeing off a subsequent winner at Hereford on debut and looks a solid proposition in his bid to maintain his unbeaten record. The others with form have something to find on form but I'm Spellbound looks open to improvement, while Pitch It Up is a notable newcomer worthy of consideration.
