Down the field at Market Rasen on debut and unlikely to make an impact 160 days on.

Edgewell²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: R Menzies

14/1

Well Chosen gelding who stepped up on his debut when third over C&D recently and could make an even bigger impression with another improved effort.

Indian Louis¹⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

9/4

£70,000 5-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam (c113/h121) 19f-21f hurdle/chase winner. Successful both completed starts in Irish points (latest Jan 29). Looks the one to beat on Rules debut.

Form: SP11-

Run Resdev Run^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby

16/1

Cityscape gelding. Dam 11.6f-13f winner who stayed 2m. Tongue tied for debut, and worth monitoring in the betting.

Form:

St Cuthbert's Cave

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: R Dobbin

20/1

£22,000 3-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced. Hard to fancy unless strong in the betting.

Form:

The Back Braes

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: A M Thomson

14/1

Mustameet gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) Katachenko. Might not have enough pace for this sort of test.

Form:

Wotyoudunnow Buddy¹⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett

14/1

Showed something on first two starts last year, third at Carlisle when last seen 164 days ago. Could get involved if there's enough emphasis on stamina.

Form: 43-

Arthur Lilley

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: I A Duncan

80/1

(Production):€2,500 3-y-o: half-brother to fair chaser Harry The Lemmon (3m winner, by Milan): dam, well beaten in bumper, sister to fairly useful hurdler (21f-2¾m winner) Dreamy Sweeney.

Form:

Lemoine¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart

7/1

Black Sam Bellamy gelding who has finished third at Ayr on first two outings. Has been off 162 days but this stiffer track should play to his strengths.

Form: 33-

Shengai Enki¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: M J O'Hare

3/1

Showed more than on debut when eighth in a competitive affair at Punchestown last month. This doesn't look as strong and he's likely to be involved.

Form: 98-

Wolfburg

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson

7/1

€8,500 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful 19f-21f hurdle winner Theme Tune. Not discounted.

Form:

Perfect Poli⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine

22/1

£25,000 3-y-o, Dunaden mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Brampton Belle. 25/1 but made a solid start when fourth at Wetherby on debut. Likely to improve from that, so worthy of respect.

Forecasts

Indian Louis (9/4), Shengai Enki (3/1), Lemoine (7/1), Wolfburg (7/1), Edgewell (14/1), Wotyoudunnow Buddy (14/1), The Back Braes (14/1), Run Resdev Run (16/1), St Cuthbert's Cave (20/1), Cracking Rhapsody (20/1), Perfect Poli (22/1), Breizh River (50/1), Arthur Lilley (80/1)

INDIAN LOUIS has already won two points and has joined an excellent stable, so he's fancied to make a successful start. Shengai Enki should find this race a lot easier than the one he contested at Punchestown last time, so he's considered the biggest danger, although Lemoine should be on the premises if tuned up after 5 months off.
