Doctor Dino gelding who left debut form well behind after 13 months off when third in 11-runner bumper at Hereford (2m) in April. Sets the standard.

8/1
€12,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam (h67), maiden hurdler, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Off You Go. Yard has plenty of success in this sphere, so must be respected.

9/2
Dartmouth gelding. Dam (h94), maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2¾m) Watcombe Heights out of useful 21f-2¾m hurdle winner Golden Bay. Yard does well in this sphere so would enter calculations if supported.

Timeform
Order of St George mare. Dam unraced half-sister to Irish Grand National winner Thunder And Roses. Posted an encouraging first effort when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in March and is open to improvement over this longer trip.
|
Timeform
Masked Marvel filly who showed promise in a tongue strap for her debut when third of 6 in bumper at Argentan (1½m, good to soft) on sole outing for E. Grall in October. Step up in trip likely to suit and must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Major Dino (5/2), Lightsoutandaway (3/1), The Drunken Sailor (9/2), Knight Crossing (5/1), Savanna Storm (8/1), Magnifix Du Moulin (9/1), Tommy Tipa (14/1), Maucourt D'airy (80/1), Blackmore Jack (300/1)

Verdict

MAJOR DINO showed why he was near the top of the betting for his debut when returning with a much-improved third at Hereford last month and is the one to beat on that form. Lightsoutandaway makes most appeal of the newcomers before market clues, while Knight Crossing could step on her initial outing at Uttoxeter, especially with the longer trip promising to suit.
