Off time: 15:44 | Winning time: 4m 18.20s

Do Ye Wanna

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley

33/1

Doyen gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Mr Utah and poor hurdler Brae On. Probably best watched on debut.

Form:

Frankie Lamb²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

16/1

Half-brother to bumper winners Miss Lamb and Tom Lamb but only hinted at ability at Newcastle on debut, so will need to up his game.

Form: 6

Future Fortune²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: W Greatrex

3/1

Out of a winning chaser but showed enough know-how to make a successful bumper debut at Hereford in October. Came up short in listed company next time but capable of getting back to winning ways in calmer waters.

Form: 18

Just Aidan²⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin

10/1

Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Danse Away and fair hurdler Life Isfor Living. Won sole start in points (Apr 2023). Not discounted.

Form: 1-

Lawrenny²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish

22/1

Dam (h95), lightly raced over hurdles, 1¾m-2m winner on Flat. Showed something when fourth of 5 Bangor on debut but more needed if he's to seriously feature.

Form: 4

Noble Don⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Jeffreys

20/1

£8,000 3-y-o, £26,000 4-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Dam maiden in points/under Rules. Placed both completed starts in points, runner-up latest (Nov 5). Merits respect.

Form: 3F-2

Ocean Of Stars

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P Neville

22/1

£2,000 4-y-o, Sea The Stars gelding. Dam fairly useful 7f winner. Worth a market check.

Form:

Speed Davis²⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| BF

9/2

Successful sole start between the flags and, while he fell below expectations on Rules debut at Kelso 9 months ago, there's scope for better.

Form: 16-

Upfordebate

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: P Neville

14/1

€6,500 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Duke of Deception. Dam (c112/h128) 2½m-21f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 3m).

1,000 gns 3-y-o, Siyouni gelding. Dam 1¼m winner on Flat in France.

Form:

Ada's Day

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

3/1

Authorized filly. Dam ran twice on Flat in France. Not much to go on pedigree wise, but market could be informative.

Form:

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 10p in the pound

Forecasts

Future Fortune (3/1), Ada's Day (3/1), Speed Davis (9/2), Just Aidan (10/1), Upfordebate (14/1), Im The Boss (14/1), Frankie Lamb (16/1), Noble Don (20/1), Lawrenny (22/1), Royal Observatory (22/1), Ocean Of Stars (22/1), Do Ye Wanna (33/1)

FUTURE FORTUNE's winning debut was quite impressive and she's worth excusing a lesser effort in a higher grade since, so she's fancied to resume winning ways for all that Speed Davis is expected to fare better than on his Rules debut. Noble Don is another one to consider.
