Billytherealbigred³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

16/1

From the family of useful chaser Storm Control. Promise when second on his Stratford debut last month. Unseated early at Hereford a fortnight later.

Form: 2U

Captain Marvellous³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs J Williams

8/11

Masked Marvel gelding who made a promising start to his career when second of 12 over C&D 5 weeks ago. That form has been boosted and he stands a good chance of going one better now.

Form: 2

Goodwin Face

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon

17/2

Half-brother to a couple of hurdle winners. One to note the betting on debut.

Form:

Great Valley³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

22/1

Related to numerous winners and hinted at ability prior to running out at Hereford on debut. Should have learned from that experience.

Form: R

No Guarantee¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Cynthia Woods

200/1

Well held in 2 bumpers this autumn and a likely outsider now hurdling.

Form: 09

Push To Pass

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: Harry Derham

2/1

Pillar Coral gelding. Dam unraced, out of sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser Better Times Ahead. Interesting newcomer with Harry Cobden up for this in-form yard.

Captain Marvellous (8/11), Push To Pass (2/1), Goodwin Face (17/2), Billytherealbigred (16/1), Great Valley (22/1), No Guarantee (200/1)

The C&D race CAPTAIN MARVELLOUS was second in on debut has thrown up a few winners so Jane Williams' charge should take a bit of stopping if making the anticipated improvement. Stratford runner-up Billytherealbigred is the one likely to follow him home unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Harry Derham newcomer Push To Pass.
