Black Kalanisi⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tuite

9/2

Promise in bumpers at Ludlow and Lingfield when trained by Ben Pauling. Starts out for a new trainer and has each-way claims.

Form: 47-

Daario Naharis¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Alex Edwards⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph

9/2

Winged Love gelding who was second in the latest of three point-to-points in January. This is a totally different discipline and he is best watched.

Form: 4422-

Thomas Darby

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gregory⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy

6/4

Beneficial gelding who fetched €160,000 as a three-year-old and is from the family of some smart jumpers. Stable unveiled a nice sort in a bumper at Ayr the other day, so he is certainly one to note in the betting.

Form:

Ace Cheetah^t1⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Jenkins

40/1

Never made it to the racecourse for David Lanigan and sales price dropped sharply from 40,000 gns to 9000 gns for current connections in November. Well held on Lingfield debut and needs to do better in a first-time tongue tie.

Form: 5-

Skyline^t1⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| BFWS

5/1

Promise in three starts in bumpers, but was a disappointing odds-on shot at Lingfield in March. Has had wind surgery since then and may find improvement in a first-time tongue tie.

Form: 263-

Delayed Reaction⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss K Evans⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hedger

100/1

Cheap purchase by Black Sam Bellamy out of an unraced mare. Only beat one home in an 11-runner Towester bumper on debut and is readily opposed.

Form: 0-

Flaka

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Hicks⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Pinfield

40/1

Lucarno filly whose dam was placed over hurdles and is a half-sister to useful chaser Mon Villez. Probably best watched as she makes her racecourse bow.

Form:

Nanny Pat's

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Teal⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore

6/1

Kayf Tara mare who is a half-sister the very useful Ballyandy and talented Megastar. An eyecatcher on paper for her good yard and certainly worth a look in the betting.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Thomas Darby (6/4), Black Kalanisi (9/2), Daario Naharis (9/2), Skyline (5/1), Nanny Pat's (6/1), Lyndsays Lad (6/1), Bright Forecast (7/1), Balleticon (12/1), Luna June (14/1), Ace Cheetah (40/1), Flaka (40/1), Delayed Reaction (100/1)

Lyndsays Lad looks sure to step up on his Kempton debut display and is much respected, while Skyline, Luna June and Black Kalanisi bring fair form to the table and can get involved. The well-bred Nanny Pat's is a newcomer to note, but an even more interesting one is THOMAS DARBY, who cost plenty as a three-year-old and hails from an in-form yard who won with a bumper debutant at Ayr on Monday.
