7/4
£70,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who built on his Worcester debut third when landing short odds at Hexham (heavy) in November. Ought to be very competitive under the penalty.

85/40
Cost €105,000 as a 3-y-o and having been too free at Stratford on debut, showed much improved form to get off the mark at this C&D (good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago, showing a willing attitude under pressure. Has a penalty to carry, but there's plenty to like.

Down the field but not beaten far in a couple of bumpers this winter (latest over C&D). Step forward required if he's to get involved.

Forecasts

Wendigo (7/4), Wilful (85/40), Diva B (4/1), Away She Goes (7/1), Saxon Star (12/1), Magical Hill (18/1), Foster's Fortune (25/1), Apollos Mission (40/1), Come On Big Boy (66/1), Wendywilldo (80/1), Independent Jimmy (125/1)

Verdict

This looks to concern penalised runners WENDIGO and Wilful, with preference for the former having confirmed the promise of his Rules debut at Hexham 9 weeks ago. Jonjo O'Neill's charge showed a willing attitude to open his account over C&D last month, so he won't allow the selection to have it all his own way, while Diva B and Saxon Star are a couple of interesting debutantes worth keeping an eye on, too.
