16/1

Yeats gelding who was only sixth of 7 in a bumper at Tipperary on sole outing for John E. Kiely. Tongue tied on debut for new yard, but well up against it.

Form: 6

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: M Keighley

25/1

€50,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam unraced. Placed once from 3 starts in Irish points, unplaced last time (Dec 6). Not completely discounted.

Form: F26

Greatest Star¹⁴³

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

4/1

Promising debut in third in Warwick bumper but couldn't build on it at Stratford and has been off 143 days since. Needs to up his game on return.

Form: 34

Hillview³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer

40/1

Third on sole start in a point but didn't show enough on Rules debut at Hereford to think he can make a serious impression in this.

Form: 3-6

Nothin To Ask^t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| BF

11/4

Made the frame in Irish points and plenty of encouragement when runner-up both starts under Rules, suited by the emphasis on stamina at Catterick on latest. Solid claims again.

Form: 545-22

Hallwood

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: T Scudamore| T: M G Rimell

6/1

£120,000 3-y-o, Martaline gelding. Brother to smart hurdler/useful chaser Very Wood. Dam ran once on Flat/over hurdles. Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree, so claims if he's ready to go on debut.

Form:

Hob House^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Aidan Coleman| T: N J Henderson

5/2

Walk In The Park gelding. Dam (c116/h123), bumper/19f-21f hurdle winner, half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Epatante. Notable newcomer who could take the beating if ready to roll.

Form:

Ocean Heights

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Corey McGivern⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Wadham

8/1

£9,000 3-y-o, Dubawi gelding. Half-brother to 7f-1m winner Elegant Light. Dam ran once on Flat. Makes some appeal on paper.

Form:

Shighness³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond

50/1

Has an average pedigree and hasn't offered much on either outing to date.

Forecasts

Hob House (5/2), Nothin To Ask (11/4), Greatest Star (4/1), Hallwood (6/1), Hazard Collonges (6/1), Ocean Heights (8/1), Annual Review (16/1), Brorson (25/1), Hillview (40/1), Shighness (50/1)

HOB HOUSE is out of a bumper winner from the family of Epatante and represents top connections, so he seems the obvious way to go in an interesting bumper. Nothin To Ask is the clear pick of those with experience and Hallwood is another newcomer that makes appeal on pedigree.
