9/1
Stepped forward from his first 2 efforts over hurdles when third in 2m Wincanton maiden in April. Too free when well held on Uttoxeter handicap debut last month but claims if a first-time hood helps him to settle better.

25/1
Modest maiden handicapper on Flat for Micky Hammond. No show in 2 outings over hurdles for Polly Gundry. A chance of trainer needs to have had a positive effect.

5/6
Fair hurdler who has been on his game when placed in similar company on his last 3 outings. Likely to be on the premises again.

11/4
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat (stays 1m) for David Menuisier. No impact in 2 outings over hurdles for Oliver Sherwood but more positive signs for new yard when third in 2m Newton Abbot novice 16 days ago. Has the potential for more, particularly if settling better.

100/1
Third in an Irish point. Showed a bit when fourth in a Worcester bumper on Rules debut but well held in another bumper and a novice hurdle since.

20/1, sixth of 7 in a course bumper on debut 4 weeks ago. Best watched now switching to hurdles unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

5/1
Quite a good pedigree and offered more in this sphere when fifth of 12 in novice at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last month. May be capable of better for top stable.

Forecasts

The Geordie Ginge (5/6), Ar El Bee (11/4), Emily's Star (5/1), Afta Party (8/1), Gieves (9/1), Heresmax (25/1), Buck Of Maine (25/1), Side Stepper (80/1), Go On Ya Goodthing (100/1)

Verdict

There's a possibility AR EL BEE could have more to offer for new trainer Harry Derham and he may ensure that The Geordie Ginge has to settle for minor honours again. Dan Skelton's Emily's Star looks best of the remainder.
