Grenardier²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley

28/1

Bred for further and looked more one for the longer term when sixth at Exeter on debut 25 days ago. Others are more appealing.

Land Of Moon¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex

4/1

Backed and shaped encouragingly first time up under a ride of exaggerated patience in Lingfield AW bumper in December and, while he disappointed at Doncaster next time, he can get back on track faced with a quicker surface after 4 months off.

Form: 30-

2/1

Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Southport and fair staying hurdler/chase winner Chu Chu Percy. Interesting Rules newcomer.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: P D Niven

40/1

Related to a point winner but didn't offer a great deal at Ayr 6 months ago and others are more persuasive.

15/2

€14,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Brother to bumper winner Star Walking, and half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Uptown Harry. Dam unraced. One to note if the market speaks in his favour.

15/2

Cyclonic⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Ben Jones| T: T H Weston

6/1

Showed more than first time up when third of 7 in bumper at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) just over 6 weeks ago, staying on gradually straight. Will need to improve again.

Form: 63-

22/1

Dartmouth filly. Dam (c101/h110) 3m/25f hurdle winner. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Forecasts

Mountain Mike (2/1), Land Of Moon (4/1), Cyclonic (6/1), Chattamento (6/1), Kashchei (15/2), Jukebox Joker (15/2), St Irene (8/1), Dartmouth Rose (22/1), Grenardier (28/1), Threeandahalf (40/1)

JUKEBOX JOKER is related to several winners, including a bumper winner, and the bar isn't set all that high, so he's worth a chance to make a successful start. Land of Moon can play a part if back on track and point-recruit Mountain Mike is a player.
