Champersgalore

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott

18/1

Bollin Eric gelding. Dam little impact sole start over hurdles. Worth a market check for all he doesn't make much appeal on pedigree.

Form:

Knockanore²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: R Potter

3/1

Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points and found only one too good at Newcastle on Rules bow. That's the best piece of form on show and he's capable of better, so obvious claims.

Form: U22

My Monty

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: S Drinkwater

10/1

Mount Nelson gelding. Dam (h89), maiden hurdler, 2m winner on Flat, half-sister to useful hurdler (2½m winner) Court Shareef.

Form:

No Tackle

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater

10/1

Gentlewave gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Nightboattoclyro. Dam (c122/h120), 21f-25f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 3½m). Bred to need more time and distance.

Form:

Park This One⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

6/1

Point winner who made a satisfactory start under Rules when second at Hereford a couple of months ago. Should better that on this slightly stiffer tarack, so he's a definite player.

Form: P-312

Spider Bill

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard

22/1

Arvico gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2½m-3m winner) Copper Boy. Can't be ruled out on debut, acknowledging he appears to be the stable second-string.

Form:

Stans The Man³⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: J E Moore| T: L HurleyWS

14/1

Milan gelding who showed something when third at Chepstow for Laura Young on debut a year ago.

Form: 3-

Waterloo Quay³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: David Dennis

15/2

Fair form on each of his 3 starts to date, leaving Matt Sheppard and off 11 months prior to a creditable fifth at Stratford 31 days ago. He's clearly vulnerable, though.

Form: 22-5

Bertie Wooster

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard

7/2

€70,000 3-y-o, Beat Hollow gelding. Half-brother to Champion/Irish Champion bumper winner/2m winner sole start over hurdles Fayonagh and fairly useful hurdler Buck Rogers. Highly respected on debut.

Form:

Prince Rhinegold

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Miss L Blackford

33/1

£28,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdlers Fern Hill, stays 3m, and Flow Away, stays 19f. Likely to come good in time.

Form:

Wellwillya

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes

50/1

Universal gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Luccombe Down.

Form:

Asian Spice¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Ben Jones| T: J D Frost

250/1

Scorpion filly who is hard to fancy having failed to beat a rival at Stratford on debut.

Form: 0

Insolente Nelsa¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

10/1

Started off in unpromising fashion at Uttoxeter recently, going in snatches before running out entering the straight. He might have learned from that, however, and he's in good hands.

Form: R

Forecasts

Knockanore (3/1), Bertie Wooster (7/2), Park This One (6/1), Waterloo Quay (15/2), Insolente Nelsa (10/1), No Tackle (10/1), My Monty (10/1), Stans The Man (14/1), Champersgalore (18/1), Spider Bill (22/1), Prince Rhinegold (33/1), Razzo Italiano (33/1), Benville Bridge (33/1), Wellwillya (50/1), Keepitunderyourhat (66/1), Asian Spice (250/1)

KNOCKANORE travelled smoothly and pulled clear of the rest when second at Newcastle first time out under Rules, and a reproduction of that sort of effort may well be enough to see him go one better. Park This One is a danger and, as a half-brother to a Champion Bumper winner, Bertie Wooster has to be respected first time out.
