Marble Sands⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| D

6/1

Left debut form behind when landing an Ascot bumper with a bit up his sleeve. Form has been boosted since and probably best excused a sub-par showing in listed company at the same track 89 days ago.

Form: 515

Washington¹²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| D

10/3

Westerner gelding who made the ideal start when scoring hard held at Fakenham 4 months ago. Form isn't really working out but he has plenty of potential nonetheless.

Form: 1

Grosvenor Court³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Max Browne⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A King

15/2

Appealing pedigree, in good hands, and left debut form behind when runner-up at Kempton 36 days ago. Could do better still with a 10-lb claimer on board, so hard to dismiss.

Form: 6-2

Lebowski⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Wintle| BF

17/2

Encouraging second in Tipperary bumper for Paul Nolan in June, and has placed on both outings for this stable, albeit not delivering quite as much as promised when off the bridle. Solid claims.

Form: 223

Our Colossus¹⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

6/4

€4,000 3-y-o, Yeats gelding. Brother to bumper winner Party Central. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Dec 6). Makes plenty of appeal for top stable.

Form: 2

One Eye On Vegas

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

8/1

Blue Bresil gelding. Dam (h119), bumper/21f hurdle winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (stays 4¼m) Rathvinden. Boasta above-average pedigree, so not discounted.

Forecasts

Our Colossus (6/4), Washington (10/3), Marble Sands (6/1), Grosvenor Court (15/2), One Eye On Vegas (8/1), Lebowski (17/2)

An open affair. OUR COLOSSUS is related to a bumper winner and has already shown ability between the flags, so he's worth chancing to make a winning Rules debut for a shrewd yard. Washington, an impressive debut winner 4 months ago, is feared most ahead of Marble Sands.
