2/9
Runner-up in an Irish point in February and has made a promising start under Rules, benefiting from the step up to 2½m when landing an Aintree maiden last month. Definitely more to come and hard to beat.

12/1, weakened to finish eighth of 12 in a Uttoxeter bumper on his debut in May. Switches to hurdles after 6 months off.

Modest form in 2 Uttoxeter bumpers during the summer and remote fifth on hurdle debut there 25 days ago.

Useful bumper performer in 2023/24 season. Hasn't got close to that level in 3 hurdle starts but Newton Abbot reappearance fifth was more encouraging and it's still very early days.

Timeform
Only modest form at best when fourth in 2m Worcester novice on debut in June and well beaten at Chepstow 5 months later. Looks more one for handicaps after this.

Timeform
Signs of ability in a bumper and 2 maiden hurdles but seems unlikely to be of real interest until handicapping.

50/1
Modest form in 2 bumpers last season (trained in Ireland on debut). Best watched now hurdling after 8 months off unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Forecasts

Marsiac (2/9), Montemares (11/4), Noahsgreatrainbow (4/1), Justice Served (8/1), Broadway Honey (25/1), Bushstreet Bowman (33/1), Harley's Pride (50/1), Man Up Front (80/1), Three Figs (100/1)

Verdict

MARSIAC looked a useful prospect at Aintree and is taken to make light of his penalty. C&D debut scorer Montemares may be the chief threat unless the betting speaks in the favour of Twiston-Davies stable newcomer Justice Served.
