4/1

Friendless in betting but showed plenty when midfield in 10-runner Chepstow novice (2m) on debut 14 months ago. Disappointed on return at that venue in November but got back on track when second in 6-runner maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f) 18 days ago. Could still do better.

Form: 5-62

Howaya Now⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 116

8/13

Fair hurdler who ran well when second in 9-runner maiden at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 53 days ago, despite going in snatches. Sets the standard.

Form: 532-F42

Monty Searle¹²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss Ella Herbison⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke

14/1

Malinas gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Go Steady. Successful on last of 5 starts in points (Dec 2023). Needs a market check on Rules debut.

Form: 2PRP/1

Worldwide Fury^t1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

11/1

£150,000 purchase after winning an Irish point last March and shaped as if in need of the experience when sixth of 9 in a Wetherby bumper (2m) on Rules debut 19 days ago, not knocked about. Upped significantly in trip on hurdle bow and fitted with a first-time tongue strap.

Form: 1-6

Singapore Lady

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott

6/1

5,000 gns 3-y-o, Schiaparelli mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Singapore Saga and modest hurdler Asian Spice, stays 21. Yard amongst the winners so must be respected on debut, especially if the market vibes are strong.

Forecasts

Howaya Now (8/13), Anytrixwilldo (4/1), Singapore Lady (6/1), Worldwide Fury (11/1), Monty Searle (14/1)

ANYTRIXWILLDO got back on track when second at Market Rasen 18 days ago and could yet build on the abundant promise of his Chepstow debut given his lightly-raced profile, so he earns the vote over the more exposed Howaya Now. Irish point winner Worldwide Fury makes a quick switch to hurdling in a first-time tongue strap and can't be dismissed, either.
