Bubble Dubi³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

13/2

Showed a bit when fourth at Huntingdon last month but only boasts place claims unless he can find some improvement.

Form: 34

Itso Fury^t⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| BF

10/11

Has improved with each run and was only denied by a well-fancied newcomer when second at Kempton last time. Worth a chance to open his account at the fourth attempt.

Form: 2-32

Rare Edition¹²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: C E Longsdon

6/1

£45,000 4-y-o, Califet gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Pencilfulloflead, stays 25f. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Dec 5). Merits plenty of respect switched to Rules.

Form: 42

Rocket Robbo¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: J Candlish

50/1

Bred to do better at some point, but not enough encouragement as yet to think he'll be landing this on second start for Jennie Candlish.

Form: 83

Silver Coin

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Callum Bewley| T: Ruth Jefferson

22/1

Fairly Ransom mare. Dam unraced. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Form:

Dj Pete

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Alfie Jordan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Sherwood

12/1

€30,000 3-y-o, Malinas gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser She Ranks Me and 2m hurdle winner Finisk Rose, stayed 3m. Dam unraced. One to take seriously on debut.

Form:

Ha'an

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Reed| T: M Appleby

20/1

Black Sam Bellamy colt. Dam unraced. Others make more appeal on paper.

Form:

Kaleb²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy

9/2

Sir Percy gelding from a good family and encouraging signs when placed first two starts, second having cut out the running at Kempton last time. Should give another good account of himself.

Form: 32

Zuul

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Appleby

40/1

Black Sam Bellamy colt. Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including 1¼m-1½m winner Deinonychus. Dam (h106) 17f hurdle winner, also 1¼m winner on Flat. Should be well equipped for this sort of test.

Forecasts

Itso Fury (10/11), Kaleb (9/2), Rare Edition (6/1), Bubble Dubi (13/2), Yeomen Warder (7/1), Major Fortune (8/1), Dj Pete (12/1), Ha'an (20/1), Silver Coin (22/1), Zuul (40/1), Rocket Robbo (50/1)

ITSO FURY has a progressive profile in similar events and is fancied to go one better than his recent second at Kempton. Point-scorers Rare Edition and Yeomen Warder both make plenty of appeal for stables that do well with similar types.
