3/1
Flemensfirth gelding who shaped encouragingly albeit not seen to best effect when fourth at Market Rasen 4 weeks ago, left poorly placed. Capable of better, so one for the shortlist.

Valirann gelding who went with little encouragement when finishing last on debut at Southwell last month. Will need to leave that effort well behind to feature.

Forecasts

Hermes Du Gouet (13/8), Prairie Wolf (5/2), Sporty Jim (3/1), Forpaddytheplumber (10/3), Canty Bay (7/1), Valamix (18/1), Blackwell Bay (20/1), So Many Roads (25/1)

Verdict

The market will no doubt prove informative with many of these making their debut under Rules but SPORTY JIM showed enough promise at Market Rasen 4 weeks ago to suggest a race of this nature is within his compass so he gets the vote with improvement to come. Prairie Wolf made a pleasing return to action at Carlisle in October so he's feared most under a penalty, ahead of Hermes du Gouet.

  1. SPORTY JIM (IRE)
  2. PRAIRIE WOLF (IRE)
  3. HERMES DU GOUET (FR)
