Asking Questions⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Ed Glassonbury⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

7/1

Point-to-point winner (on good to firm) at Tyrella in January although that form is hard to rate with any great accuracy. Yard yet to have a bumper winner from a small number of runners in them and suspicion is that others hold better chances.

Form: P5812

Charlie's Charm⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: T J FitzGerald

20/1

No great confidence to b gleaned from the breeding (half-sister was placed in a bumper) and didn't really show enough in his debut at Doncaster to make him of interest here.

Form: 94-

Rockalzaro⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr

11/1

Weakened out of things very quickly at Hereford on debut but heavy ground a possible excuse there, particularly as half brother Royalzaro won two points on good ground. Better can be expected here but yard are struggling a bit for winners.

Form: 63-

Trigger Nichol⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R D Day⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards

10/1

Half-brother to the useful chaser Fine Parchment and also winning hurdler Coole Cody, so winners in the family, and he should improve from his debut on heavy ground at Ayr in February. On to keep an eye on, as the yard do well in these events.

Form: 5

D'gentle Reflexion

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Bannister⁽³⁾| T: W Greatrex

6/4

Yard get plenty of winners in this sphere and after a quiet time, are firing the winners in again in the past week. Will want more of a stamina test in time but bound to be well prepared for this debut and one of the more likely ones.

Form:

Juge Et Parti

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Deutsch⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams

11/2

Nicely bred and a mix of speed and stamina in the family. New trainer keen to make a good impression early and this one may well be forward enough to make an impression here. Market will give the best guide.

Form:

Steve Mequine

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Robert Hawker⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Leech

16/1

Some speed in the family but not related to any superstars, and yard not known for bumper winners. May win a race down the line bt asking a lot on debut today.

Form:

Min Tiky⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss L Bradstock⁽⁷⁾| T: M Bradstock

20/1

Good looking, well made type but faded out of things on her debut at Huntingdon and may be one that needs a bit of time.

Form: 8

Glama⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Ned Curtis⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Henderson

5/1

With a top trainer but didn't show enough on debut at Newbury to suggest she was a winner in waiting next time. Gets plenty of weight here but more likely winners unless market is particularly strong.

Form: 8

Forecasts

D'gentle Reflexion (6/4), Glama (5/1), Juge Et Parti (11/2), Asking Questions (7/1), Trigger Nichol (10/1), Rockalzaro (11/1), Steve Mequine (16/1), Charlie's Charm (20/1), Min Tiky (20/1)

With the Warren Greatrex team back in form after a quiet spell, D'GENTLE REFLEXION may be good enough at the first time of asking. The yard have done well in bumpers over the past couple of seasons and this one may well add to the tally. Money for either Juge Et Parti or Trigger NIchol should be taken heed of.
