Well-bred 6-y-o who forged clear in impressive fashion when landing a bumper at Southwell in December 2020. Disappointing at Warwick 3 months later and makes return after 11 months off.
|
Soldier of Fortune gelding who showed an encouraging amount of speed when runner-up in bumper at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy, 6/1) on debut in December. Has since moved yards and he's not discounted.
|
Soldier of Fortune gelding who showed a bit but looked clueless once coming under pressure when third in a Southwell bumper 10 weeks ago. Will need to have learnt plenty from that effort.
|
Getaway gelding who shaped as if in need of run for fitness and experience when third at Utttoxeter on debut. Similar form at Exeter since and makes return after nearly 3 months off.
|
Easy winner of his sole point and showed plenty of ability when second of 17 in Warwick bumper on debut. Had little go right at Southwell since (stumbled home turn) so worth another chance.
|
Cokoriko gelding. Dam, French bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Azrou d'Ex. Market can guide.
|
€6,200 3-y-o, £170,000 4-y-o, Ask gelding. Successful sole outing in Irish points (Nov 21) so betting should guide as to expectations. Wears hood.
|
€80,000 3-y-o, second foal. Dam 19f-21f hurdle winner, half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Glacial Sunset and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Deep Sunset.
|
Promise on all 3 starts, particularly when runner-up at Doncaster last month. A repeat of that effort puts him firmly in the thick of things again.
|
Martaline gelding who shaped like a stayer when sixth of 10 in bumper at Sandown (16f, soft, 7/2) on debut in November. Every chance he will build on that effort so he makes the shortlist.

Forecasts
Lookaway (5/2), Nollyador (3/1), Nightboat To Cairo (5/1), Fame And Concrete (8/1), Sandalwood (9/1), Athgarvan (10/1), Grand Knight (16/1), Avalanche Peak (22/1), Awaythelad (25/1), Hi Riko (40/1)
The one to focus on could be NOLLYADOR, who has shown promise on all 3 starts, particularly when runner-up at Doncaster last month, and this represents a good opportunity for him to go a place better. Sandalwood should learn from his debut sixth at Sandown so could provide the main threat, ahead of the penalised Fame And Concrete.
