Zonisty⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: Sir Mark Prescott| BF| CD

30/100

Landed a C&D bumper in November then ran well under a penalty when runner-up back here the following month. Very much the one to beat.

Form: 412

Its Going Rome²⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: D FaulknerWS

80/1

Yet to show anything and will need to take a big step forward following a wind op if he's to make an impact.

Form: 5-7

Looksee⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: P R Chamings

66/1

Sent off at 80/1 and was well adrift of Zonisty when sixth in the C&D bumper won by Ledders in December.

Form: 6

Ropeman

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs D O'Neill

16/1

Telescope gelding. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Benbane Head. Probably best watched on debut, unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Form:

Bella Madonna

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Simon EarleWS

40/1

Eastern Anthem mare. Dam, 2m-2¼m hurdle winner, out of half-sister to bumper winner/smart hurdler (2¾m-3m winner) Material World. Market should be a guide with regard to expectations.

Form:

Cheeky Chester

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: K Jewell

20/1

Life Force gelding. Dam showed little in bumpers/over hurdles. Yard 0-8 in bumpers and this 4-y-o doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner.

Form:

Elusive Enemy¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Luke Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: T H Weston

9/2

Shaped better than the bare result when sixth in a 13-runner Doncaster bumper (16.6f, good to soft) on recent debut. Wouldn't need to improve much on that to make an impact here.

Form: 6

War Bonnet¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley

11/1

Bred for the Flat and hinted at ability when mid-field at Huntingdon in November. Failed to fire at Southwell subsequently but each-way claims if able to get back on track.

Form: 68

Forecasts

Zonisty (30/100), Elusive Enemy (9/2), War Bonnet (11/1), Ropeman (16/1), Cheeky Chester (20/1), Bella Madonna (40/1), Looksee (66/1), Its Going Rome (80/1)

This is best left to ZONISTY, who lost little caste in defeat when runner-up under a penalty over C&D in December. War Bonnet looks capable of picking up some place money judged on what he showed on debut but Elusive Enemy is preferred for forecast purposes.
