2/1

Half-brother to 3 winners and justified support (5/6) on debut when landing 7-runner bumper at Carlisle (17f, soft) in November, scoring with a bit in hand. Could be up to defying a penalty with yard continuing to go well.

Form: 1

All About Trev

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

15/8

€32,000 3-y-o, Malinas gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser Cloth Cap, stayed 4m, and fair hurdler/useful chaser Brideswell Lad. Bred for further down the line.

Form:

Mighty Mass

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: Evan Williams

16/1

Dartmouth gelding. Dam, ungenuine bumper/2m-2¾m hurdle winner, closely related to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) Annsam. One to note on debut.

Moments In Time⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Skelton| BF

7/4

Successful only outing in Irish points and showed plenty to work on making Rules debut when fourth of 8 in bumper at Aintree (17f, good, 6/4) on Boxing Day. Will be suited by longer trips in time but can make his presence felt.

Form: 1-4

Thepassingcyclone²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

40/1

Showed some ability on debut when fifth of 10 in bumper at Chepstow (16.1f, soft, 12/1) 24 days ago, rallying having looked in need of the experience. Plenty more required, though.

Form: 5

Hotter Than Dubai²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Bryan Carver| T: C Honour

40/1

Stoutly bred but offered some encouragement on first start when sixth of 10 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy, 33/1) 22 days ago. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Moments In Time (7/4), All About Trev (15/8), Loveable Reprobate (2/1), I Can See Formiles (7/1), Mighty Mass (16/1), Hotter Than Dubai (40/1), Thepassingcyclone (40/1)

LOVEABLE REPROBATE landed the odds on debut at Carlisle in November, pulling clear with a next-time-out winner, and he can build on that effort to follow up. He is preferred to Moments In Time, who shaped encouragingly when making the frame at Aintree on his first start, with newcomer Mighty Mass completing the shortlist.
