Cost £75,000 after winning Irish point and plenty of promise on Rules bow when runner-up in novice hurdle at Aintree (20f). Failed to progress next time but just about sets the standard.

Out of half-sister to Irish Grand National winner Lion Na Bearnai. Winning pointer who exceeded market expectations when close second at Fontwell and big player on that form.

Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling after 13 months off when fourth in Newcastle maiden. Mixed record since and more needed.

Modest in bumpers for Adam West. Off 12 months, offered something to work on when fourth on 2½m Fakenham hurdle debut for top stable but well held in jumpers bumper since.

Only mid-field in a couple of bumpers in October but stepped up on that when fourth on hurdles bow at Plumpton despite a few sloppy leaps. Entitled to learn from that and progress.

Forecasts

Docpickedme (15/8), Drakes Well (4/1), Enemenemynemo (4/1), Fontana Ellissi (7/1), Night In Manhattan (15/2), One Handsome Dude (9/1), Nashville Nipper (11/1), Roscoe Tara (18/1), Great Gable (18/1), Largy Mouth (22/1), Bennie Boy (66/1), Hello Buddy (200/1), Ach Captain (250/1), Willcollins (300/1)

Verdict

Point-winner DRAKES WELL exceeded expectations on Rules debut when splitting a pair of winners in a novice at Fontwell and shades the vote over Docpickedme, who has also shown a similar level of form. Night In Manhattan is from a top yard and has a nice pedigree so is a newcomer to note.

  2. DOCPICKEDME (IRE)
  3. NIGHT IN MANHATTAN
