Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Hosie| CD

6/5

Left debut behind when winning a 3-runner event over C&D a week ago for Nigel Twiston-Davies. More needed under a penalty turned out quickly for new stable.

Form: 9-1

Buck Of Maine³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

5/2

From a good French family and promise when third of 6 in Plumpton bumper on debut a month ago. Could improve and bold show likely for in-form stable.

Form: 3

Maillot Vert

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Mrs S Leech

13/2

Dunaden gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including ungenuine but smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser Up And Go, stayed 23f, and fair hurdler Maillot Blanc. Betting should help guide to expectations.

Form:

Petrograd^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

11/2

Maxios gelding. Dam unraced. Wears tongue strap for debut. One to note in the market.

Form:

Telenn D'annain

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: Christian Williams

10/1

Cokoriko gelding. Dam, maiden over hurdles in France, half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler (17f winner) Lou Princess. Petrograd possibly the stable first string on jockey bookings but the betting will reveal more.

Form:

Prelinsia²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Mrs S Gardner

66/1

Related to winners but beaten a long way in bumpers 7 months apart.

Form: 0-5

Forecasts

Corporal Jackjones (6/5), Buck Of Maine (5/2), Six And Out (5/2), Petrograd (11/2), Maillot Vert (13/2), Telenn D'annain (10/1), Prelinsia (66/1)

Unless the betting speaks in the favour of one of the Christian Williams newcomers this may develop into a straight fight between SIX AND OUT and Buck of Maine, with the former selected to make it third time lucky after a pair of promising runner-up efforts.
