11/4

Spanish Moon gelding who made some appeal on paper but ran to just a poor level when fifth of 9 in bumper (5/1) at Carlisle (17f, soft) a couple of months ago, not ideally placed the way the race developed. Could leave that effort behind.

4/1

£10,000 3-y-o, Intello gelding. Closely related to a winner and half-brother to 4 winners on Flat, including smart 7f/1m winner Prince Eiji. Dam very smart 9f-10.5f winner. Should have the speed for this sort of test.

80/1

200/1, badly needed experience when remote fourth of 7 in bumper at Newcastle (16.2f, standard) on debut 3 months ago. Big step forward required.

66/1

Shantou filly who had little go right when last of 10 in bumper (66/1) at this C&D (good) on debut 9 days ago, forced wide from soon after start. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Strutter (11/8), Climbing (15/8), Reggae De Baune (11/4), Senor Diaz (3/1), Mr Zippi (4/1), Conniegetaway (66/1), Forceta (80/1)

STRUTTER was given a considerate introduction when finishing mid-field at Warwick last month and with improvement on the cards, Nicky Henderson's 4-y-o gets the verdict to come out on top now fitted with a hood. Reggae de Baune was up against it the way the race developed at Carlisle on debut so he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Jamie Snowdon's newcomer Climbing.
