16/1

£55,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Form: 3

Circle Of Steel⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

40/1

Well-held sixth when sent off at 3/1 for a Musselburgh bumper before Christmas. The stable is going better now.

Form: 6

Dilrisk

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Callum Bewley| T: N G Richards

2/1

€35,000 No Risk At All gelding. Half-brother to French hurdler Dylidancer. Dam lightly raced on Flat in France. Newcomers from a yard which does well in bumpers, including a win in this last year. Market support could prove significant.

Form:

Eagle Warrior^h1³⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: P W Wadge| T: A M Thomson

4/1

€60,000 purchase after winning an Irish point last May. Hooded for Rules debut. Would need considering if the betting suggests he's fancied.

Form: 6-1

Hawthorn Road^h1⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| BF

12/1

Found to have an irregular heartbeat when pulled up on Musselburgh debut in December. The fact he went off at only 5/2 suggests he had been showing up quite well at home and Brian Hughes rides on return with a hood also fitted.

Form: P

Jet Noir⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs J Stephen

12/1

Third sole start in Irish points in January. New yard 0-12 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons.

Form: 3

L'appel Du Large^t⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander

66/1

Half-brother to 7 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Desir du Large. Never looked living up to market expectations (5/2) in a C&D bumper on debut in December but is seemingly thought capable of better.

Form: 9

Mhordart⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: C Grant

40/1

Big prices and comfortably held in 2 C&D bumpers this winter.

Form: 67

Midday Rendezvous

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ian Power| T: J Candlish

9/1

Passing Glance gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Fromheretoeternity, stays 2½m, and fair hurdler/chaser Redbridge Rambler. Stable gets bumper winners. Check the betting.

Form:

Mr Man

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies

14/1

Kingston Hill gelding. Dam little form in bumpers/over hurdles. The market should help guide to expectations with this one.

Form:

Orestina⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: Paul Robson

12/1

Masar mare who overcame inexperience to make a successful debut in 8-runner AW bumper here in January. A penalty shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 1

Rubinio⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

9/2

12/1, offered plenty to work on when fifth of 15 in bumper at Wetherby (soft) on debut 77 days ago, faring best of those held up. That form has been franked.

Forecasts

Dilrisk (2/1), Eagle Warrior (4/1), Rubinio (9/2), Midday Rendezvous (9/1), Hawthorn Road (12/1), Jet Noir (12/1), Orestina (12/1), Mr Man (14/1), Bay Runner (16/1), Batchelor's Lad (25/1), Silver Cirrus (25/1), Circle Of Steel (40/1), Mhordart (40/1), L'appel Du Large (66/1), Countryman Joe (100/1)

RUBINIO shaped quite well in a decent bumper at Wetherby on Boxing Day and is preferred to penalised AW course scorer Orestina. Nicky Richards newcomer Dilrisk and Sandy Thomson Irish point scorer Eagle Warrior would need considering if the betting speaks for them.
