14/1
In top hands but could manage a remote sixth of 11 in Market Rasen bumper in September and hurdling debut in novice at Exeter was no better. Needs to improve back from 139 days off.

Regressive on the Flat and showed nothing back from 7 months off in novice at this course on hurdling debut. Others make more appeal.

Well held on only start in bumpers and limited promise both starts over hurdles. More of a handicap type.

Modest in bumpers and better effort over hurdles when third in novice at Newton Abbot 19 days ago. Claims if he can take another step forward.

Maiden pointer who hinted at ability in a novice at this course on second Rules outing. Unlikely to feature in this, however.

4/9
Fairly useful hurdler who wasn't disgraced when third of 4 in novice at Ascot last time. This is much easier, so excellent claims if he settles fully.

10/1
Well-bred type who landed a bumper for Philip Hobbs in December but was a disappointing sixth on hurdling/stable debut. Could do better.

Superb NH pedigree but has shown only greenness in a bumper and novice hurdle 13 months apart. Needs more time.

Forecasts

Sopran Thor (4/9), Mister Watson (2/1), Noble Savage (9/2), Galan Des Planches (7/1), Without A Doubt (10/1), Baron Nelson (14/1), On The Rise (40/1), Southfield Lily (100/1), Moved In March (125/1), Citta D'Oro (150/1)

Verdict

SOPRAN THOR is quite consistent and has been presented with an excellent opportunity to open his account in a decidedly weak contest, so he's an obvious choice. Mister Watson could lay down a challenge if back to the form that saw him finish second at Sandown on his penultimate outing, while further progress from Noble Savage would thrust him into the mix.

  1. SOPRAN THOR (FR)
  2. MISTER WATSON
  3. NOBLE SAVAGE (IRE)
