Related to winners and showed signs of ability in a bumper at Taunton for Kim Bailey 21 months ago. Not seen since, however, so best watched on return/hurdling debut.

Won a Newcastle bumper for Thomas Gallagher in January 2023. First start since when fourth in a novice at Kempton on stable/hurdling debut and entitled to better that.

Runner-up in a point before disappointing (10/11) when only fifth in a bumper at Sedgefield 95 days ago. Attentions are turned to hurdling now and can't be completely ruled out.

10/1
Stepped up on his bumper debut when third of 12 in one at Huntingdon in April. Further progress when second to odds-on shot Captain Marvellous on return/handicap debut at Warwick but needs to put a blip at Newbury behind him.

125/1
Fair on the Flat but below form in that sphere and his only hurdling outing (in July 2023) lacked promise, so others make more appeal.

Pether's Moon gelding. Half-brother to smart bumper winner Redemption Day and fairly useful hurdler Big Bresil, stays 3m. Unplaced sole start in points (May 2024).

From quite a good family and made a solid start when runner-up in a bumper at Newton Abbot 20 months ago. Has left Nicky Henderson since but joined another top outfit.

9/1
Califet mare who was successful on last of 4 starts in points and excellent start under Rules when making all in a Uttoxeter bumper (15.8f) back in April. Not disgraced when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on hurdling debut and should benefit from it.

8/15
Useful on Flat (stays 1½m) in Germany, successful twice in 2024, including Deutsches Derby. Left Henk Grewe €1,400,000 in October. Arrives with a big reputation and is fully expected to make a winning start.

Forecasts

Palladium (8/15), Jack Hyde (3/1), Taxus Baccata (9/1), Pure Carbon (10/1), Karton Plein (14/1), Manala (40/1), Wolf Moon (50/1), George Darling (50/1), Idamix (80/1), Sgian Dubh (125/1)

Verdict

German Derby winner PALLADIUM has been well touted as a juvenile to follow and, now making his belated start in this sphere, he's likely to account for some average rivals. Jack Hyde could feature if he builds on his hurdling debut and Karton Plein's point form gives him some hope despite an underwhelming start under Rules in a bumper.
