13/2
Showed a fair level of ability in 3 bumpers in the second half of 2022 and should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

Recharge gelding. Dam 5f/6f winner who stayed 1m. Potential non-stayer who is unlikely to feature on his hurdling debut.

3/1
Modest stayer on the Flat. Has made a positive start over hurdles, good fourth in 2m4f Aintree handicap last month. Came in last back on the level at Chelmsford City only three days ago but solid form claims.

Showed just poor form in bumpers for Gordon Elliott. Won 2 British points before Christmas but pulled up both runs over hurdles for his current yard. Back from a wind op with lots to prove.

13/8
Showed fairly useful form when winning on second of 2 starts in bumpers. Hood reapplied when promising fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Open to more progress. Big shout.

8/1
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Much better effort over hurdles when third of 10 in novice (33/1) at Worcester (16f, good) 19 days ago, finishing well. May do better still. Considered.

£30,000 buy after finishing second in her sole Irish point. 40/1, encouraging third of 11 in novice at Cartmel (17.2f, good) on hurdles bow 36 days ago. Possibilities if building on that initial effort.

Timeform
Most Improved mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Star of Lanka. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 1m). One to take seriously on debut. In good hands and this newcomer warrants a market check.

Forecasts

Rock On Harry (13/8), Fandabidozi (3/1), Callin Baton Rouge (4/1), Borderline (13/2), Sobegrand (8/1), Luckie Money (28/1), Great Schema (50/1), My Boy Grizzle (125/1), Doves Delight (300/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but ROCK ON HARRY was a fairly useful bumper winner and is fancied to build on his promising Uttoxeter fourth and open his account in this sphere. Sobegrand also looks to have more to offer on the back of his recent Worcester third and is feared most. Hurdling debutants Borderline and Luckie Money have the potential to have a say too in a competitive maiden.
