Barnards Green⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: N P Mulholland

22/1

Showed plenty of ability at Southwell on debut but seemed amiss there 74 days ago. Too soon to write him off.

Form: 30

Bashers Reflection^h,t1⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: B I Case

16/1

Mount Nelson gelding who offered something to work on when fourth in a C&D bumper a couple of months ago. Tongue strap on now, and he's open to improvement.

Form: 4

Cammy Bear

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

5/1

Norse Dancer gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Tedham and fair hurdler Lily of Leysbourne. Highly respected on debut.

Form:

Campden Lad⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien

9/2

Arrives with a progressive profile after a good third at Ffos Las and he has the most experience in this field, so no surprise if he's involved in the finish.

Form: 7-23

Chilinlikeavillain^t1¹⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David England| T: D Skelton

17/2

€5,800 3-y-o, £35,000 4-y-o, Imperial Monarch gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Detatched, stays 21f. Remote second in an Irish point in October, but yard should have him ready.

Form: 2

Ohnodonttakemehome⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: P G Murphy

9/4

Unfancied in the betting but posted an excellent debut at Southwell 74 days ago, staying on into second and having running left at the line. Big player with improvement on the cards.

Form: 2

Parc d'Amour

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

11/2

€60,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam, fair 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to top-class hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) More of That. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

Diamant Sur Canape

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

18/1

£18,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam unraced. Stable is going well at present, so warrants a market check.

Form:

Robiola⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

11/1

Stepped up a little on his debut when runner-up over 1¾m at Ludlow 57 days ago. Likely to relish the step up to 2m this afternoon. Considered.

Forecasts

Ohnodonttakemehome (9/4), Campden Lad (9/2), Cammy Bear (5/1), Parc d'Amour (11/2), Chilinlikeavillain (17/2), Robiola (11/1), Bashers Reflection (16/1), Diamant Sur Canape (18/1), Give Me A Cuddle (20/1), Barnards Green (22/1)

OHNODONTTAKEMEHOME was an eye-catching second on debut and the form has a solid look to it, so he may well be capable of opening his account at the second attempt. Parc d'Amour is a notable newcomer for a yard that does well in this sphere, while point-recruit Chilinlikeavillain is a notable contender for a quality stable.
