11/4
Shoed fair form when making the frame first 2 starts over hurdles. Bit disappointing in a trio of handicaps subsequently but still needs considering in an ordinary race.

5/2
Useful seven-time Flat winner at up to 2m for David Brown. Stepped up on low-key hurdles debut when fourth in a 12-runner Newbury novice in January. Below that level twice since, but it's still too early to write him off.

11/10
Well held in bumpers but much better over hurdles, finding only one too good for a third consecutive start in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (22f) 10 days ago. Sure to be on the premises again.

Trans Island gelding. Dam showed nothing on Flat. Maiden pointer, runner-up last time (Apr 30). Worth a market check.

Well held in bumper at Exeter (16.7f, soft) on NH debut in December. Upped in trip for hurdles debut.

Timeform
Lucarno mare. Dam (c119/h123) 2m-3¼m hurdle/chase winner.

Forecasts

Glengeever (11/10), Ben Lilly (5/2), Ballygoe (11/4), Mr Craftsman (14/1), Martha Burell (33/1), Take Me Dancing (50/1), Mabel Kingsmill (100/1), By Jove (125/1)

Verdict

GLENGEEVER hardly sets an insurmountable standard, but he's done enough to suggest he can win an ordinary contest like this one. Ben Lilly has something to prove at present but isn't one to write off just yet, while Ballygoe can also figure.
