Calagogo^p,t⁶⁷⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: J Martin⁽⁵⁾| T: S G Allen| OR: 121| D

125/1

Last of 11 in novice chase at Galway (22.5f, good, 22/1). Off 22 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Has work to do.

Form: 4P68F0/

Royal Pretender⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 118

10/1

Relatively unexposed over staying trips and returned with good second at Exeter. Out of sorts subsequently, though.

Form: 24/2P50-

Edison Kent^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Lily Pinchin| T: James Owen| OR: 117| D

10/3

Off the mark for current yard at Fakenham in December and right back on track when runner-up at Huntingdon 16 days ago. Should make his presence felt again.

Form: 431PP-2

Column Of Fire^p¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Huw Edwards⁽⁷⁾| T: Simon Edwards| OR: 114

125/1

Finished lame at Doncaster 15 months ago having left Gordon Elliott cheaply. Last of 4 finishers completed start in points, fell last time. Obviously has plenty to prove for new trainer.

Form: PPP/4P-F

Storm Nelson^b1²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 114

33/1

Won 5 of his 8 starts during a very good spell with Sandy Thomson. Far more miss than hit for current stable, though. Blinkers go on.

Form: P693P-P

Front View^p1,t⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Benjamin Macey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 112

5/2

Useful hurdler/chaser for Joseph O'Brien back in 2020/21 and, having dropped in the weights, offered some encouraging signs that he retains ability last season. Interesting if the market speaks in his favour after a break with cheekpieces on.

Form: 632425-

Breaking Waves^v¹²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 110

15/2

Untrustworthy individual for Harry Whittington and hasn't made any sort of impact as yet for current yard. Has had a break.

Form: 233/794-

Wavering Down^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 105

13/8

Arrives on the up and travelled like one that's ahead of his mark when runner-up at Warwick a month ago. Looks sure to go well again.

Form: 36/234-2

Forecasts

Wavering Down (13/8), Front View (5/2), Edison Kent (10/3), Kintail (5/1), Breaking Waves (15/2), Royal Pretender (10/1), Fair Frontieres (10/1), Storm Nelson (33/1), Column Of Fire (125/1), Calagogo (125/1)

KINTAIL disappointed at Lingfield last time but remains with potential and appeals as the sort to benefit from a break, so he can get back on the up to get the better of the in-form Wavering Down, who travelled with purpose at Warwick. Front View is one to note if strong in the betting.
