Bulls Aye³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| C

80/1

Fair 7f Flat winner but he beat only one on his hurdles bow over C&D in December. Needs a big step forward.

Form: 5

Impulsive One^t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 127| D

13/8

Dual 2m scorer over hurdles but he was well below par on the Flat at Wolverhampton 30 days ago. Holds good claims if shrugging off that run back in this sphere.

Form: 1123

Inca Prince^h³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 121| CD

13/8

Ex-Irish gelding who is thriving for his new yard and arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Catterick and over C&D. On the upgrade, and he merits serious consideration.

Form: 53311

Sonning¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Adrian Heskin| T: A King| OR: 116| D

12/1

Fairly useful winner at 10f on the level and has matched that form over hurdles, scoring at Catterick. Good fourth in handicap at Wincanton (15.2f) 11 days ago, and shortlisted.

Form: 2134

Calvados^h1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: J C McConnell| D

7/1

Fairly useful Irish 2m winner over hurdles. 33/1 and tongue strap on, creditable sixth of 7 in Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown 42 days ago. Hood on for 1st time and much respected.

Form: 13326

Innatendue^t⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: T Scudamore| T: J C McConnell

14/1

Dual bumper winner in France. Faces no easy task on his hurdles/yard debut here, however. Market can guide too.

Form: 1231

Malakahna²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 115| D

10/1

Fair 12f Flat winner who went in on his debut in this sphere at Fakenham. Made mistakes when only fair second of 4 in juvenile at Sandown 29 days ago and more is required here.

Form: 152

Forecasts

Impulsive One (13/8), Inca Prince (13/8), Calvados (7/1), Malakahna (10/1), Sonning (12/1), Innatendue (14/1), Bulls Aye (80/1)

C&D scorer INCA PRINCE hasn't looked back since joining Ruth Jefferson and looks the way to go in his bid for a hat-trick. Impulsive One rates a big threat though if back to his best after a modest showing on the level, while Irish-challenger Calvados is not dismissed either.
