Arms Park⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: Evan Williams

10/1

Half-brother to 4 winners and pulled clear of the rest when chasing home the odds-on winner on debut in a Plumpton bumper (17.8f, good to firm) in September. That form is nothing to write home about, but he has to enter calculations with that experience to draw upon and Harry Cobden booked.

Form: 2

Canty's Cove²⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

7/4

Out of a bumper winner and finished second on sole completed start between the flags in February. Hails from a yard in terrific form and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.

Form: 2P-

Devon Paige

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Baptiste Le Clerc| T: J D Frost

100/1

Dartmouth gelding out of a bumper/2m hurdle winner who stayed 25f. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers and he's probably best watched this time.

Form:

Lord Virginia³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley

33/1

Offered something to work on in Newton Abbot bumper in April, but he failed to build on that when returning from a break at Worcester last month.

Form: 4-9

Louis Des Landes

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard

5/1

€22,000 3-y-o, Voiladenuo gelding. Brother to a winner, and half-brother to French 2m hurdle winner Magique des Landes and hurdle/chase winner in France Grand des Landes. In-form yard saddled a winning newcomer in a bumper at Ascot last week and this one needs close attention in the betting.

Form:

Mad World^h1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore

16/1

Pillar Coral gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful staying chaser Houston Texas. Dam winning pointer. It's likely that he will need more time and distance if pedigree is any guide. Hooded.

Form:

No Hard Feelings^h1³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: P Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Hanlon

25/1

No real impact in a handful of maiden points and this Irish raider will need to step up markedly if he's to make a winning start under Rules with a hood enlisted here.

Form: 46-55

Religous Cross²⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland

11/4

Half-brother to fair hurdler Badbury Rings and did the job well when landing his sole start in maiden points during the spring. Appealing credentials and the market should be a guide in terms of expectations.

Form: 1-

Tenshillings

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

100/1

Very limited appeal on paper and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form:

Four Decades⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: T Ellis

80/1

Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Before Midnight, but yard doesn't enjoy a great deal of success in bumpers and this filly was beaten a fair way in one on debut at Worcester.

Form: 6

No Risk Today²⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: J J Burke| T: F O'BrienWS

5/1

Fetched £100,000 after running out a decisive winner of her sole start in Irish points in February. Since undergone a wind op and very much of interest on Rules debut for respected yard.

Form: 1-

Forecasts

Canty's Cove (7/4), Religous Cross (11/4), No Risk Today (5/1), Louis Des Landes (5/1), Arms Park (10/1), Mad World (16/1), No Hard Feelings (25/1), Lord Virginia (33/1), Four Decades (80/1), Devon Paige (100/1), Tenshillings (100/1)

NO RISK TODAY and Religous Cross both looked like decent prospects when winning maiden points earlier this year and they could be the pair to concentrate on. Marginal preference is for the former, who was a seven-length winner of sole start between the flags. Louis Des Landes is an interesting newcomer who needs a close look in the betting, while Canty's Cove showed ability on the first of his two starts in points and is also respected, along with Arms Park.
