2/15
Fairly useful bumper winner last season who has made a positive start over hurdles, off the mark at second attempt in a Carlisle novice (17f) before chasing home subsequent listed scorer Fingle Bridge over extended 18f trip here 46 days ago. The one to beat.

Well held both starts in bumpers last spring for Pam Sly and little impact in 2 hurdle runs for present yard. Low-grade handicaps will be more suitable moving forward.

Has shown ability but also looked a hard ride in bumpers and similar story on hurdles debut (pulled hard) when third in 6-runner Warwick novice (2m) in September. Will need to settle better if he's to feature on this return to action.

5/1
Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m). Has the physique for hurdling but ultimately spoilt his chance by refusing to settle when fourth in 14-runner Kempton maiden (2m) on yard/hurdles bow 25 days ago. Forecast quicker ground in his favour here and entitled to do better. Hood on 1st time.

Fair in bumpers and showed similar form over hurdles for Nicky Henderson. Absent since falling at Worcester on second start for present stable in summer 2023 and he's best watched.

Well held all 3 starts in bumpers and she rates a likely outsider now her attentions switch to hurdles.

Shaped like a stayer in bumpers and longer-term project on what she's achieved in pair of 2m novice hurdles back in the autumn.

Forecasts

Wellington Arch (2/15), Indemnity (5/1), Fidendum (10/1), Peace Of Rome (50/1), Heather Honey (100/1), Barleythorpe (150/1), Annies Gold (200/1)

Verdict

Having opened his account over hurdles at Carlisle in December, WELLINGTON ARCH again ran well when chasing home a subsequent listed winner here (18.6f) 46 days ago. He looks the one to beat and is fancied to concede weight all round and come out on top. Indemnity and Fidendum rate next best, in that order.

  2. Indemnity5/1
  3. Fidendum10/1
