9/1

Yeats gelding. Half-brother to the stable's high-class chaser Top Ville Ben. Appeals on paper, so newcomer is well worth a second look.

Form:

Amber Gold

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

9/1

£9,000 4-y-o, Toronado mare. Half-sister to 2 winners on Flat, including 6f-7f Robbie Roo Roo. Yard going well, so she's much respected on her debut.

Form:

Tangiers

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander

8/1

£17,000 3-y-o, Masked Marvel filly. Half-sister to 6 winners, notably French hurdler/chaser Just Move On. Dam useful winner up to 1½m in Spain. Bred to be no back number, so she's in the picture.

Form:

Forecasts

Boot 'n' Shoe (11/4), Ri Na Farraige (18/5), Bingoo (9/2), Tangiers (8/1), Top Ville Bobby (9/1), Elena De La Vega (9/1), Miss Maple (16/1), Askalli (20/1), Syltezar (22/1), Amber Gold (25/1)

The market should reveal plenty here, but RI NA FARRAIGE catches the eye on breeding and is a rare runner in this sphere for Richard Fahey so is taken to emerge on top with Brian Hughes a significant booking too. Boot 'N' Shoe is another who should make his presence felt, while both Elena de la Vega and Tangiers hail from in-form yards and need considering.
