1
Horse silk
9/2
Sprang a 20-1 surprise when winning on debut at Chepstow but form of that looks fine (second a winner over hurdles at Perth this autumn) and there was no fluke about it. More rain the better, but always difficult giving a penalty away.
Showed little first two starts but then won a moderate contest at Uttoxeter, his 16-1 price tag indicating it was a bit of a surprise. More to do under a penalty here.
3
Horse silk
50/1
Only moderate form shown in two starts to date and will need to show more here after a break.
From a good jumping family and dam a half-sister to a winning pointer. Yard get plenty of winners in this sphere and are 3-12 here last five years. One to watch closely in the market.

Donladd

11/2
£56,000 purchase at stores sales in 2017, nicely bred and will appreciate a fence in time. Yard have a 10% strike rate in bumpers but are 0-6 here last five years. May be one that needs time.
6
Horse silk
Gaelik Coast244
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr
9/2
£110,000 purchase at Aintree sales earlier in the year. Half-brother to numerous winners in France and breeding a good mix of speed and stamina. Yard always to be respected here but are just 2-27 with their bumper runners last five seasons.

33/1
Pedigree suggests we won't see the best of him until he sees some obstacles, and was a well beaten third on bumper debut at Worcester in June. Needs more here.
9
Horse silk
Rintulla
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: B Pauling
7/2
Fifth foal, half-brother to a couple of hurdles/chase winners (both were good stayers) and dam an unraced half-sister to a Topham Chase winner; it all suggests he may find this too sharp a test on debut.
10
Horse silk
Shut The Box56
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: C Gordon
7/2
Placed in a couple fo moderate bumpers already but pedigree very much suggests he's one that will need time and more of a trip. Others make more appeal.
£41,000 purchase at sales in 2017, dam closely related to the high-class hurdler/chaser L'Ami Rouge, and he made a solid debut when fourth at Chepstow. Will improve but this may be a tough contest.
Makes very little appeal on pedigree and could have stamina issues. Rare runner in this sphere for the yard but faces an uphill task.

As ever, the market will prove the most informative guide but as it stands, JUST ROCKY makes the most appeal. He will come on for that first start at Warwick and should figure prominently here. Gaelik Coast comes from a yard that have plenty of winners here, although their bumper record isn't so good, but nevertheless he makes plenty of appeal on paper. Westerly Wind and Rintulla are others that need consideration.
