5/4

Scoresby^h1³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

28/1

Bred to need time and distance, so no surprise he failed to feature (raced freely) over C&D on debut. Needs to improve markedly in a first-time hood.

Form: 6

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Houlihan| T: R StephensWS

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: L Hurley

200/1

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Hey Bud, but didn't offer much over C&D on debut 3 weeks ago. others make more appeal.

Form: 6

Getaway gelding. Dam, multiple winner over jumps in Italy, half-sister to hurdles winner in Italy Emozioni.

9/1

Sans Frontieres gelding. Half-brother to temperamental/poor chaser Mac Cennetig, stays 21f. Dam unraced sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Spendid. Likely to need time.

Form: PF

Ellies Sister

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

9/2

Court Cave mare. Sister to point winner Whisper In Court and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Ellie Mac, and half-sister to bumper winner Thisonetime, stays 2¼m. Of obvious interest on debut.

Form:

Masked Matgil^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

9/2

Masked Marvel filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Dino Velvet. One to take seriously on debut. Wears tongue strap. Notable newcomer.

Forecasts

Lock Out (5/4), Masked Matgil (9/2), Ellies Sister (9/2), Get The Value (6/1), Papa John (9/1), Yonconor (10/1), Wot You Wearing (14/1), Scoresby (28/1), Bright Focus (200/1), King Of The Woods (200/1)

LOCK OUT has already won a point and his yard has a good record in this sphere, so he's an obvious choice ahead of Ellies Sister and Masked Matgil, both interesting newcomers on paper. Those with experience are unlikely to feature.
