Isaac Des Obeaux¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| BF| CD

9/4

Made the ideal start when scoring readily over C&D. Only third next time but likely to double his tally after 104-day break.

Form: 13

Don't Tell Su¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: P F Nicholls| BF

9/2

Out of a bumper winner but only fifth at Warwick 100 days. Likely to improve so can't be ruled out.

Form: 5

Jemura²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: N J Henderson

18/1

Point winner who was sixth of 8 in bumper at Warwick (16f, soft, 9/2) on NH debut 29 days ago. Needs a lot miore if he's to feature in this.

Form: 46

Law Of Supply¹⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

5/1

£7,000 3-y-o, £80,000 4-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Poetic Verse. Dam, 1½m winner. Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Oct 2022). One to consider.

Form: 44-1

Two To Tango⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle

13/2

Half-brother to 3 winners and encouraging third at Fontwell first time out. Could improve and shouldn't be dismissed.

Form: 3

Vincenzo¹⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas

13/2

Strong in the betting but disappointing when only fourth of 10 in bumper at Bangor first time out. Could prove a different proposition second time out.

Form: 4

Yes Day¹³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: K Brogan| T: J & A O'Neill

13/2

€17,000 3-y-o, £80,000 4-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m-2½m winner) Back To Bracka. Successful sole start in Irish points (Nov 2022).

Form: 1

Holy Legend

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Alexandra Dunn

100/1

Passing Glance gelding. Dam (b84), ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to smart hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 2¾m) Midnight Shadow.

Form:

Hour Star⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: J Tizzard| BF

40/1

Brother to a bumper winner and made a positive start when second of 4 at Exeter on debut. This looks a stronger race, however.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Isaac Des Obeaux (9/4), Don't Tell Su (9/2), Law Of Supply (5/1), Vincenzo (13/2), Yes Day (13/2), Two To Tango (13/2), Jemura (18/1), Hour Star (40/1), Holy Legend (100/1)

ISAAC DES OBEAUX sets the standard and should be able to gain a second win in quite a thin race. His stablemate Don't Tell Su is a danger and Law of Supply looks an interesting recruit from points.
