|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd | 1 | — |
Bailly's Comet (G)
Looked useful when quickening to lead near the finish and edge out reopposing stablemate Champ Kabai on Wincanton debut in November. Open to improvement.

Berkshire Woody (G)
25/1, third of 12 in bumper at Aintree (17f, good) on debut 34 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Should be sharper for the run.

305 | Dylan Johnston | Miss R Curtis | 4 | 69.9 kg |

| 9th | 3 | — |
Champ Kabai (G)
10/1, collared only in the dying strides by stable-companion Bailly's Comet on Wincanton debut 6 weeks ago. The stiffer test here ought to suit him.
|
2 | Ben Godfrey | A J Honeyball | 4 | 69.9 kg |

25/1

| 6th | 4 | — |
Crack Ops (G)
Half-brother to 4 winners on Flat and built on his promising Huntingdon debut second in October when showing a determined attitude to fend off the reopposing Faithful Guardian by ½ length at Ludlow 8 weeks ago.

Crest of Arms (G)
9/2, 9½ lengths seventh of 12 to Bailly's Comet (Champ Kabai second, Roximan third) in bumper at Wincanton on debut 42 days ago, finishing with running left after ruining his chance by hanging left on bends. The switch to a left-handed co…

| 10th | 6 | — |
Don't Rein Me In (G)
Ran to a fair level when length second on 13f Exeter debut in October but he'll need to improve for the longer trip if he's to play a prominent role this afternoon.
|
204 | Bryan Carver | C Honour | 4 | 69.9 kg |

Faithful Guardian (G)
Australia gelding who shaped well when ½-length second of 8 to Crack Ops on Ludlow debut 56 days ago. May do better.

28-3 | Thomas Bellamy | A King | 4 | 69.9 kg |

16/1

| 2nd | 8 | — |
Garrincha (G)
Doctor Dino gelding. Brother to hurdle winner/chaser in France Madara. His stable is among the winners but the percentage call is to look elsewhere on debut.
|

| 4th | 9 | — |
Ivor Bear (G)
Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam, 2m-19f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 21f), half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful chaser (stayed 25f) Castle Oliver. Check the betting for a yard which gets plenty of bumper winners.

| 13th | 10 | — |
Maestrow (G)
Masterstroke gelding. Will need to be smart to make a winning debut here but his in-form stable has a healthy bumper strike-rate and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.
|
0079-5 | Ben Jones | B Pauling | 4 | 69.9 kg |

25/1

| 12th | 11 | — |
Mariole (G)
Second of 9 in French bumper over 1½m for Mathieu Pitart in April. Recruited by a top stable since and would firmly enter calculations if the betting suggests he's fancied.
|
036 | David Bass | N J Henderson | 4 | 69.9 kg |

| 5th | 12 | — |
Molly's Lad (G)
Strong in the betting and made a promising start to her career when second of 12 in Aintree bumper 54 days ago, staying on well. Respected.
|
2532 | J J Burke | F O'Brien | 4 | 69.9 kg |

5/1

| 11th | 13 | — |
Pureis King (G)
Justified short odds on Market Rasen in October but well beaten under a penalty at Aintree the following month, doing too much too soon. Needs to learn to race more efficiently.

08821 | James Bowen | Faye Bramley | 4 | 69.9 kg |

| 14th | 14 | — |
Roximan (G)
Very promising first effort when ½-length third of 12 to reopposing Anthony Honeyball pair Bailly's Comet and Champ Kabai at Wincanton 6 weeks ago. This race looks sure to place more emphasis on stamina and that will suit this son of Kapga…

Solly's Gold (G)

Soldier of Fortune gelding who readily made a winning start to his career at Wetherby last month. In top hands and high on the shortlist here.

Marvelous Dragones (F)

Placed in a pair of French bumpers in recent months and that form puts her in the mix here.
