Useful Flat winner in Ireland for Jim Bolger and looked of at least that standard when seeing off 3 hurdle winners on his hurdling bow at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) last month. More to come. Considered.

Shirocco gelding who won his only start in Irish points and scored impressively in 15-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) in December. Exciting prospect and the clear form pick.

Lightly-raced maiden on the level. Pulled up on hurdles debut at Doncaster so hard to make a case for returned to this sphere. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Out Of Office (4/6), Dancila (2/1), Sea Village (11/1), Smart Casual (11/1), Aurigny Mill (16/1), Townhill (22/1), Fever Dream (40/1), Faded Fantasy (100/1), Faerie Cutlass (100/1), Hobsons Bay (150/1), La Referi (150/1), Gun Runner Cash (150/1), Bob Bank (200/1), Bright Focus (250/1)

Verdict

Evan Williams' Shirocco gelding OUT OF OFFICE created an excellent impression when going in at Chepstow just after Christmas and can return from a break in style here before tackling better company. Dancila also brings plenty of hurdling potential on the back of his debut Musselburgh success and rates much the biggest threat. Ascot debut fifth Townhill and hurdling newcomer Smart Casual can fight it out for minor honours.
