9/4

Runner-up in an Irish point and went one better on Rules/bumper debut at Worcester (2m) in October. Good third at Ffos Las last time so he holds very solid claims.

Yeats gelding who made a winning start in 10-runner bumper over C&D (good to soft, 9/1) 51 days ago. Raced green there so seems sure to take a step forward. Firmly in the picture.

Forecasts

Roger Pol (9/4), Ledders (7/2), Taras Halls (18/5), Mersey Street (15/2), Mount Ferns (10/1), Uncle Mac (11/1), Little Peter (14/1), Fulgurant (16/1), Glengolly (33/1), The Full Pasty (125/1)

TARAS HALLS overcame greenness to make a winning start over C&D so Lucy Wadham's Yeats gelding can take a step forward and defy his 7 lb penalty at the chief expense of Worcester scorer Roger Pol. Ledders is the other winner in the line-up and he can't be discounted either, with Mersey Street and Uncle Mac two newcomers to consider too.
