Annual Invictus⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

18/1

Scored in a point-to-point at Toomebridge (3m). Finished second of eight on his debut under Rules at Plumpton (2m1½f) in a bumper last month. Not one to ignore on his first appearance over hurdles.

Form: P-12

Ardbruce⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J McGrath| T: J W Mullins

100/1

Has just one horse behind him in a 10 runner field at Chepstow (2m) on his debut in a bumper after going off at 25/1. He weakened with 3f to go on that first run. Needs to take a big step forward this time.

Form: 9

Fil D'ariane^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Coleman| T: T Symonds| OR: 119

20/1

Had some good form in France before switching to the UK. Was second of six runners two starts ago at Southwell (1m7½f), while he came back fourth of 16 last time at Wincanton (1m7½f). Can't discount.

Form: 3-5R324

Full Back³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

11/4

Made a modest start to his career under Rules as he was fifth of 11 at Ascot over 2m5½f after going off at 20/1. Should be able to build upon that opening run here on this latest appearance. Big player.

Form: 25

Hugos Other Horse³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| C

5/2

Scored in a bumper at Fontwell (2m1½f) on just the second start of his career. Was sixth of 11 runners on his debut over hurdles last time at Ascot (2m5½f) where he was 10L off the winner. Remains open to improvement. One to consider.

Form: 41-66

Kaymar⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

4/1

Finished second of eight at Wincanton (2m) in a bumper on his opening career start. Appeared over hurdles last time at Warwick (2m3f). Must be respected from this yard, especially if there is strong market confidence.

Form: 26

No No Maestro³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood

20/1

Was second at this course in a bumper on his debut over 2m1½f. His last two runs have come over hurdles where he has been well held. Finished sixth of 10 on his latest effort at Ludlow (2m). Needs to improve.

Form: 246

Premiumaccess²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard

5/1

A point-to-point winner at Kinsale (3m) back in November. He was eighth of 17 at Newbury on his debut under Rules. Travelled well in that race until the closing stages. Stepping up in trip. One to think about.

Form: 2-318

Rookie Trainer^t1²⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: R T Dunne| T: N P MulhollandWS

20/1

Has been successful in a point-to-point but well beaten on his two runs under Rules. He was sixth of seven at Newton Abbot (2m5½f) last time. First start for his new yard here and has had a wind-op. Best to watch.

Form: 418-6

Table Mountain⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs F Kehoe

66/1

Was fourth of eight at Fakenham (2m4f) on his opening appearance last month. Made a couple of mistakes over his hurdles. Stepping down in trip slightly. Needs to step up from his debut.

Form: 4

Always Able²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: Mrs F Kehoe

40/1

Finished fifth of 10 on her debut under Rules at Fakenham (2m). Stepped up in trip last time at Warwick where she was fourth of 12 over 2m5f. More exposed than some of her rivals here so others are preferred.

Form: 86254

Coachella Green⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey

100/1

Point-to-point winner, however, she was tailed off on her debut under Rules at Chepstow (2m3½f), finishing 13th of 15, 86L off the winner as a 100/1 shot. Will have to produce much more this time to be in the mix.

Form: P1/PF-0

Rose Of Aghaboe²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

33/1

Scored in a bumper on her first start under Rules at Warwick (2m). Was then second of seven over hurdles at Lingfield (2m). Could only finish fifth of 12 on her latest attempt at Warwick (2m5f). Others appeal more.

Form: PF1-125

Forecasts

Hugos Other Horse (5/2), Full Back (11/4), Kaymar (4/1), Et Moi Alors (9/2), Premiumaccess (5/1), Annual Invictus (18/1), Rookie Trainer (20/1), Fil D'ariane (20/1), No No Maestro (20/1), Rose Of Aghaboe (33/1), Always Able (40/1), Table Mountain (66/1), Coachella Green (100/1), Ardbruce (100/1)

FULL BACK did fare badly on his debut at Ascot last month. He is stepping down in trip on his second start and has a great chance of getting off the mark as improvement is likely. Hugos Other Horse is a bumper winner who can also come on from his sole run over hurdles at this latest attempt, while Et Moi Alors has finished in the placings on a number of his most recent starts and he can do the same again here.
