Crest Of Honour⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Kimber| T: Mrs J Williams

50/1

Limited sign of ability to date, lacking fluency in his jumping, so up against it again.

Form: 4P6

Le Soleil Reve

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams

11/8

Goliath Du Berlais gelding. Closely related to a winner, and half-brother to useful hurdler Ecris L'Histoire and bumper winner/fair hurdler Halpha Soleil. Notable newcomer.

Form:

Red N Yellow³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White

6/4

Promising type. Second of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, soft, 10/3) on NH debut 36 days ago, running on. More to come and can put his experience to good use.

Form: 2

Star Of Guiting⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

11/2

Boasts a useful jumping and was well backed, yet he ran as if amiss when last of 12 in bumper at Exeter on debut. Bit more encouragement at Aintree next time and shouldn't be dismissed switched to hurdling.

Form: 04

Widdybank⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

11/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/top-class chaser Santini. Minor promise in bumper here 58 days ago and should take to this discipline.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Le Soleil Reve (11/8), Red N Yellow (6/4), Star Of Guiting (11/2), Widdybank (11/1), Crest Of Honour (50/1)

RED N YELLOW made a positive start when second at Bangor last month and, with the benefit of that initial experience, he should be able to open his account at the second attempt. Le Soleil Reve is a notable newcomer on paper and may emerge as the main danger.
