Bated Breath gelding who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 4-runner bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) back in October, leading approaching final 1f then forging clear. Sold from Henry Daly for 30,000 gns the following month and should progress under a penalty.
|
Desinvolte gelding. Dam 17f/19f hurdle/chase winner. Likely outsider on debut.
|
£15,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful chaser Brother Pat and modest hurdler Bathgate. Dam, 10.5f winner on Flat in France, half-sister to temperamental/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Marseillais.
|
£9,500 3-y-o, Time Test gelding. Half-brother to 7f winner Ring of Gold. Dam, dual bumper winner, from family of top-class sprinter Marwell and very smart miler Marling.
|
Belied a big price to make a successful debut at Doncaster in November but ran no sort of race when tailed-off last of 16 in listed bumper at Cheltenham (16.8f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Hood applied and fancied to bounce back returned to calmer waters.
|
16,000 gns 3-y-o, Sea The Stars gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including smart 13f winner Waltham. Dam, 10.3f winner who stayed 14.5f, half-sister to untrustworthy but useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Leo Luna. Considered.
|
Mukhadram gelding who was easy to back and shaped like a non-stayer when well beaten in bumper at Newcastle (16.9f, good) in November. Easy to look elsewhere.
|
Blue Bresil gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/smart hurdler (stayed 3m) Indefatigable. Worth a market check on debut.
|
Dartmouth filly who produced a promising first effort amidst greenness when second of 9 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, heavy) last month, keeping on after shuffled back home turn. Yard's newcomers normally come on plenty for their initial experience, so she holds leading claims.
|
£8,000 3-y-o, Outstrip filly. Half-sister to 7f-1¼m winner Nayade. Dam, unraced, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Nexius. Worth a second look on debut.
|
Golden Horn filly who showed ability when 5½ lengths fourth of 10 to Merely A Detail in bumper at Doncaster (16.6f, good) in November, no extra only late on. Should take a step forward on that initial effort so she's one to consider.

Forecasts
Naval Tribute (15/8), Tilehurst (10/3), Dilly's Gunner (11/2), Regal River (9/1), Emerald Time (10/1), Connect The Dots (11/1), Casting (14/1), Merely A Detail (16/1), Night Burlesque (25/1), The Three J's (50/1), One More Bottle (100/1)
DILLY'S GUNNER hails from a yard whose newcomers normally come on plenty for their initial experience so, having shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up at Wetherby on debut, she gets the vote to go one better at the expense of Merely A Detail, who caused a shock when scoring on debut but found listed company all too much at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Stable-switcher Tilehurst and Regal River can both get involved, too.
- Dilly's Gunner11/2
- Merely A Detail16/1
- Tilehurst10/3
