Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: M G Nolan| T: R Stephens

10/1

Cost 5,000 Euros as a three-year-old. By Stowaway out of a mare who won over 1m, 4f, he is bred to stay and is likely to need this debut outing, although his stable can get one ready.

Form:

Bredon Hill Leo

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lucy Gardner⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner

10/1

Sulamani gelding, he is a half-brother to winning hurdler and chaser Bredon Hill Lad. Stable not noted for its bumper winners.

Form:

Eat My Dirt

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams

11/4

Bought for 8,000 Euros as a three-year-old, he is a brother to point-to-point winner Richard Rabbit and a half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Stanton Court. Stable going quite well and good jockey booking.

Form:

Tis What It Is

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

7/4

Fetched £34,000 in December, he is a second foal of a mare who won a maiden point-to-point. Of obvious interest given the trainer/jockey combination.

Form:

State Sovereignty¹⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: L Treadwell| T: M Scudamore

2/1

The only one of these to have run - and to a reasonable level at that. Her close second at Hereford in December was a good effort and entitles her to plenty of respect against the newcomers.

Forecasts

Tis What It Is (7/4), State Sovereignty (2/1), Mac Tottie (9/4), Eat My Dirt (11/4), Bredon Hill Leo (10/1), Awaywiththeblues (10/1)

Plenty of guesswork involved with five newcomers taking on a fair maiden in State Sovereignty. She has to be respected, but the market is going to speak volumes and the one that catches the eye on paper is MAC TOTTIE, whose breeding suggests he will be favoured by the forecast ground. Tis What It Is would be of major interest if coming in for support, while Eat My Dirt and Awaywiththeblues also appeal on breeding.
