Didn't show much at Doncaster 4 months ago and looks firmly up against it again.

The Sainted Canary¹⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

9/2

Half-brother to fair chaser Tractor Fred and showed a bit to work on when fourth at Ascot 5 months ago. Looks more one for the long term, however.

Form: 4-

Dance And Glance^t1⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: R P McLernon| T: A J Honeyball

9/4

Has an appealing pedigree and shaped as if better for the run when mid-field in 20-runner bumper at Newbury on debut. This looks easier and he should up his game.

Moon Monarch

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon

7/2

Sea Moon colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Scipion and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Classic Concorde. Interesting newcomer.

Form:

Sixty Plus³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: C Hobson

28/1

Better effort in bumpers when third at Fakenham last time but will need to step forward again if he's to have any sort of chance in this.

Form: 63-

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: R T Dunne| T: S Drinkwater

10/1

£13,500 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Redwood Queen. Might take time to come good.

Form:

Walk With Charisma²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: David Noonan| T: T Lacey

28/1

Closely related to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Norton Hill, and half-brother to 2 winners. Looked green when ninth of 12 at Bangor first time up but should have at least learned something from it.

Form: 9-

Forecasts

Dance And Glance (9/4), Eileen's Milan (3/1), Moon Monarch (7/2), The Sainted Canary (9/2), Tackletommywoowoo (10/1), Walk With Charisma (28/1), Sixty Plus (28/1), Tank Top (40/1)

EILEEN'S MILAN is related to a bumper winner and represents top connections, so he's worth chancing to make a successful debut at the possible expense of Dance And Glance, who offered some encouragement at Newbury first time out. Moon Monarch is another interesting debutant.
