17/2

Won 8-runner bumper at Senonnes-Pouance (14.9f, good to soft). Off 17 months. First run for yard after leaving Mlle D. Mele. Very interesting contender starting out for top connections.

Form: 1-1

Helnwein⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| D

10/3

Brother to a bumper winner. Third on his only start in points and confirmed promise of Rules debut when opening his account at Ffos Las 46 days ago. Obvious player despite the penalty.

Form: 3-51

Farnoge³⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls

9/2

£125,000 4-y-o, Camelot gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser Hawk High and fair hurdler Mountain Hawk, stays 2½m. Joined Paul Nicholls after finishing runner-up on his sole outing in Irish points last February. Of obvious interest.

Form: 2-

Goonhilly¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

10/3

From the family of Oscar Whisky and he pushed a better fancied rival to within a head when a clear second of 10 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, soft) on debut 115 days ago. Has since left Tom Weston and makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 2

Minella Double¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

5/2

Shantou gelding. Dam (b82), bumper maiden, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stays 23f) Death Duty. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 13). Worth a look.

Form: F1

Yonconor⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: B Barr| OR: 110

18/1

Showed plenty to work on when second at Warwick a couple of months ago and could get involved if able to back that up.

Form: 2

Miss Maverick

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: K Brogan| T: G Hanmer

28/1

Westerner mare. Dam placed completed start in points. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Minella Double (5/2), Helnwein (10/3), Goonhilly (10/3), Farnoge (9/2), Hasthing (17/2), Yonconor (18/1), Miss Maverick (28/1)

FARNOGE has joined a top yard after a promising start in points and he's worth chancing to make a successful Rules debut. Helnwein and Goonhilly have both achieved a reasonable level of form, while Minella Double is also of interest based on his form between the flags.
