Ivanhowe gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful French chaser (2½m winner) Royale Francois. Mid-field effort on debut at Aintree last month was promising. Of interest switched to hurdling.

Dartmouth filly. Dam (h112), bumper/2m-19f hurdle winner, sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Taniokey. Jumped left at times but still managed to make a winning debut at Newton Abbot in October. One to beat.

Nathaniel filly. Dam unraced. Prominent in the betting and opening run in a Wetherby bumper 3 weeks ago wasn't devoid of promise.

Forecasts

Sailing Grace (6/4), Bois Guillbert (5/2), Noble Intrigue (9/2), Smart Deal (11/2), Beat The Retreat (18/1), Lady Hobbs (40/1)

Verdict

SAILING GRACE saw off a next-time-out winner when successful at Newton Abbot in October and this looks a good chance for the follow up. Noble Intrigue and Bois Guillbert displayed ability starting out in a bumper and could be the main dangers.

  1. Sailing Grace6/4
  2. Noble Intrigue9/2
  3. Bois Guillbert5/2
