9/4

Point winner who belatedly confirmed chase debut promise when successful over 18f here in December, quickening clear 3 out and eased markedly close home. Claims from 10 lb higher mark in this groove.

Form: 0/26P-41

Sarasota Star³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 128| D

4/1

Dominant from the front when scoring at Chepstow (2m) in November and very nearly followed up under similar tactics from 8 lb higher at Hereford next time. Expected to put up another bold bid.

Form: 461412

Golden Boy Grey²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 122| D

7/2

Fairly useful dual hurdle winner last term. Entitled to have derived plenty from chase debut second at Lingfield (2m) last month and better to come in this sphere for his in-form yard.

Form: 1717-2

All Dancer⁴¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 120

15/8

Landed a juvenile hurdle at Fontainebleau (17f) prior to an improved effort when third in similar event at Compiegne last November. Has to be worth a look now chasing on debut for leading stable.

Forecasts

All Dancer (15/8), Quoi De Neuf (9/4), Rockstar Ronnie (5/2), Golden Boy Grey (7/2), Sarasota Star (4/1)

Hard not to be positive about all five in this line-up but QUOI DE NEUF could hardly have been more impressive when scoring over further here in December and a 10 lb hike back up the weights shouldn't prevent another bold bid in this sort of form. All Dancer looks the chief threat.
