Wings of Eagles gelding. Dam (c93/h111), ungenuine bumper/19f hurdle winner (stayed 23f), half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3½m) Masters Hill. Yard enjoy plenty of success in this discipline and another who would command respect if strong in the betting. Wears tongue strap.

12/1

£20,000 3-y-o, Hillstar gelding. Closely related to a winner, and half-brother to 4 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Flash The Steel. Makes appeal on paper but kicks off in what could well prove a pretty warm race.

11/1

£32,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Brother to a point winner. Dam (h105), bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Teescomponents Lad and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 21f) Teescomponentsyess.

Form:

Up The Hill

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: P Gundry

100/1

Getaway mare. Dam (h115), 2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) As I See It out of smart 2m-21f hurdle winner Chomba Womba. Bred more for stamina than speed.

Form:

Scaredofnothing

Forecasts

Fine Tuning (7/4), Beau Speed (11/4), Murphy's Mate (5/1), Scaredofnothing (11/2), Lingering Glance (6/1), Shady Knight (10/1), Valiant Soldier (11/1), Trojan Tale (12/1), Elusive Pb (16/1), Dunstall Star (22/1), Up The Hill (100/1)

Several choicely bred newcomers on show including FINE TUNING, who represents a yard operating at a 25% strike rate with their representatives in this sphere so far this term and the booking of Sean Bowen very much catches the eye. He shades preference over Paul Nicholls' Beau Speed before market clues. Shady Knight and Murphy's Mate complete the shortlist.
