4/1

Nayef gelding. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to 17f-21f hurdle/chase winner Questimato. In excellent hands so he's one to note on debut.

£8,500 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 3m) Woodland Opera out of very smart chaser up to 3m Opera Hat. Not ruled out on paper. Market can guide.

Form:

Inmemoryofmilly²³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mullineaux

300/1

Forecasts

First Street (4/5), Time To Believe (4/1), Tiger Orchid (5/1), Maxcel (5/1), Parsons Stone (22/1), Tampico Rocco (33/1), Twiggys Pride (125/1), Inmemoryofmilly (300/1)

FIRST STREET shaped well when runner-up in a Huntingdon bumper on his debut and Nicky Henderson's son of Golden Horn is fancied to go one better with that form looking much the best on offer. Newcomer Time To Believe is in very good hands and bred to be no back number so is feared most ahead of C&D scorer Tiger Orchid.
