Autumn Equinox^h1,t1¹²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley

10/1

Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Kangaroo Court and fair hurdler/chaser Canny Tom. Successful sole start between the flags in December and market should point the way on this Rules debut.

Form: 1

Barnard Castle⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss R Curtis

22/1

Bred to do better further down the line but hard to make a case for having travelled with little fluency when only sixth of 7 at Warwick 3 months ago.

Form: 6

Bob's Bar⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

18/1

Third in an Irish point and bumper at Hereford on rules debut. Likely to be suited by further, so others make more appeal.

Form: 33

Friends Don't Tell^p1²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: C Ellam

300/1

Mount Nelson gelding who was sent off a huge price and failed to beat a rival at Wetherby 25 days ago. Tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 9

Iontach Cheval⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph

40/1

Out of a bumper winner but yet to show a great deal of ability.

Form: 60

Parisencore⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards

20/1

Prominent in the betting but only fifth at Ayr first time out. Better expected back from a break, so not completely dismissed.

Form: 5

Stony Man²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer

9/2

Placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points and improved from Rules debut when third in bumper at Uttoxeter last time. Another step forward required.

Form: 4-P363

Hermes Boy

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Chester Williams⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Williams

5/1

£22,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 2 point winners. Dam, 11.5f-13f winner, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Tabac Brun. Interesting newcomer.

Form:

Quickbuck

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Alfie Jordan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N J Henderson

6/4

€50,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/useful chaser More Buck's and useful 25f hurdle winner Barbados Buck's. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

Vintage Fizz⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

16/1

Sulamani gelding who showed something to work on when sixth at Wetherby on debut. Unlikely to improve enough to feature in this, though.

Form: 6

Welsh Wayne

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: R Patrick| T: Tom Dascombe

10/1

Dragon Pulse gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 7f-10.4f winner Sootability. Dam 7f winner. One to note if market speaks in his favour.

Form:

Dicey Rielly

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: P & M Bowen

28/1

Getaway filly. Dam (h110) bumper/25f hurdle winner. Likely to need more time and distance.

Forecasts

Quickbuck (6/4), Stony Man (9/2), Hermes Boy (5/1), He's A Knowall (5/1), Dragoon Springs (6/1), Autumn Equinox (10/1), Welsh Wayne (10/1), Moot Court (12/1), Vintage Fizz (16/1), Bob's Bar (18/1), Parisencore (20/1), Barnard Castle (22/1), Midnight Henry (25/1), Dicey Rielly (28/1), Iontach Cheval (40/1), Friends Don't Tell (300/1)

QUICKBUCK has an appealing pedigree, represents a top yard and has a promising claimer taking off 10 lb, so it's worth taking a chance on him to make a winning start in an interesting bumper. Dragoon Springs is the pick of those with Rules form, though ex-pointers Moot Court and He's A Knowall both warrant a mention.
