Buckhorn Rocco

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard

10/1

Saddler's Rock gelding. Closely related to 2 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Buckhorn Timothy, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Buckhorn George. Appealing on pedigree.

Flamenco De Kerser¹³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford

25/1

Vendangeur gelding. Half-brother to Bolero de Kerser. Dam, dual French 23f chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (2¾m-3¼m winner) Semiramiss. Off mark in Irish points at fifth attempt.

Form: 3/F3-21

Furlough Me

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

13/2

€25,000 3-y-o Doyen gelding. Dam, tailed off in 2 bumpers, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (2m-2½m winner) Charlie Stout and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (19f-25f winner) Relentless Dream.

Form:

Gala De Corton^t1²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

11/2

Failed to build on a promising debut when tenth at Kempton last time so needs a tongue strap to have a positive effect if he's to get back on track.

Form: 30

Go Dante

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

1/1

€170,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Angel of Harlem. Interesting newcomer for stable that does well in bumpers.

Form:

Monymusk Lad²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White

16/1

Cheap purchase who came in for a shrewd ride when a narrow fourth at Kempton but lacks the scope of a few rivals. Not discounted.

Form: 4

Roll On Rosco³⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott

40/1

Arvico gelding. Brother to a point winner. Dam (c83), point winner, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 21f) Kincora Fort. Little impact in 3 points, pulled up last time.

Form: 5/UP-

The Turfaccountant^h⁴¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: C Hobson

125/1

Ask gelding out of an unraced dam. No promise to be gleaned from his debut at Huntingdon 13 months ago.

Form: 0-

Young William⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White

22/1

Related to a bumper winner but needed the experience when down the field over C&D on debut. Could prove a different proposition after a break.

Form: 0

Kahina Rules⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland

9/1

Aussie Rules mare who shaped better than the result (flattened out late) when fourth of 5 in a C&D bumper on debut 49 days ago. Should progress, so warrants consideration.

Form: 4

Mangetout

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs F M Shaw

300/1

Schiaparelli mare. Dam unraced. Hard to make a case for.

Form:

Daany

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: James Best| T: K Bishop

66/1

2,500 gns 3-y-o, Pivotal gelding. Dam winner around 1m. Makes very little appeal on paper.

Form:

Non-Runners

Muy Bien²⁸

Weight: 11-4| Age: 5

T: H Fry J: S Bowen

Forecasts

Go Dante (1/1), Muy Bien (7/2), Gala De Corton (11/2), Furlough Me (13/2), Kahina Rules (9/1), Buckhorn Rocco (10/1), Monymusk Lad (16/1), Young William (22/1), Flamenco De Kerser (25/1), Roll On Rosco (40/1), Daany (66/1), The Turfaccountant (125/1), Mangetout (300/1)

GO DANTE cost plenty as a store and has enough in his pedigree to suggest he can handle this sort of test for all he'll likely be better over obstacles in time. As such, he gets the nod ahead of Muy Bien, who should step up on his encouraging debut, and Kahina Rules, hard to discount after a promising start here 7 weeks ago.
