Call Me Harry¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 118| D

3/1

Landed his first two starts comfortably, then was pulled in tough conditions in the Champion Bumper. Has sights lowered markedly now, but gives weight away all round.

Form: 11P

Jimmy's Jet^t1¹⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: A M Thomson| CD

6/1

Cheap purchase who looked well bough when landing a C&D bumper with something to spare on debut 5 months ago. Has changed hands (left Donald Whillans) since, but the form hasn't really worked out.

Form: 1

Largy Shark²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford

15/2

Showed something to work on when seventh at Navan first time out and his shrewd yard do well in British bumpers, so he's likely to be more competitive this time.

Form: 7

Magic Wave²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

9/2

Related to a bumper winner and was doing his best work at the finish when second at Doncaster 28 days ago. Open to improvement and stable is flying at present, so he's a big player.

Form: 2

Autumn Return⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson

11/4

£55,000 5-y-o, Fame And Glory mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Ferrobin and fairly useful chaser Minella Hub. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt last time (Jan 16). Very much one to note on Rules debut.

Form: 3-F1

Captain Nelson

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: R M Smith

14/1

€20,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Hyperdrive and fair hurdler Patience Patience. Dam unraced. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Form:

Idem¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

8/1

Half-brother to 3 winners and showed plenty when runner-up at Aintree on debut 147 days ago. Should have learned from that, so progress on the cards if he's fully tuned up.

Form: 2

Celestial Fashion^h⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: I A Duncan

80/1

Telescope filly who was a big price when offering little over C&D on debut. Hard to fancy.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Autumn Return (11/4), Call Me Harry (3/1), Magic Wave (9/2), Jimmy's Jet (6/1), Largy Shark (15/2), Idem (8/1), Captain Nelson (14/1), Celestial Fashion (80/1)

MAGIC WAVE finished to good effect when runner-up at Doncaster a month ago and, with his yard in red-hot form, he's worth chancing to go one better. Winning-pointer Autumn Return looks a major player on Rules debut, while Idem should play a part if he's ready to go on his first start of 2022.
