Selected odds by:

Dobryn³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: S Thomas

6/4

14/1, winning debut on soft ground at Hereford last month. Stable has been in excellent form since and there's every chance he can defy a penalty.

Form: 1

Cheeky Ches⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant

25/1

40/1, showed ability when third of 9 on C&D debut in September but the form has taken a couple of knocks since. This doesn't look the deepest bumper but he'll still need to improve to go close.

Form: 3

Fabuleux Du Clos²⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J Kington| T: S G West

80/1

16/1, beaten just over 20 lengths when third on Newcastle debut in March and he'll need to step up a fair bit on that bare form to play a leading role on his return.

Form: 3-

More Beer

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: T J FitzGerald

22/1

€5,000 Westerner gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdlers Dahills Hill and Mossy White. Worth a precautionary market check for a stable which has had a few run well on the Flat of late.

Form:

Northern Falcon

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: Miss P Robson

11/4

Kayf Tara gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/smart hurdler Augusta Kate out of unbeaten bumper winner/very smart hurdler Feathard Lady. Brian Hughes up for debut. Betting should guide.

Form:

Risk D'Argent²⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph

11/2

Sent off second favourite when falling in Larkhill maiden point in March. Stable back among winners in recent weeks. Another for whom market should provide more clues.

Form: F-

Skipness

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby

80/1

Desideratum gelding. Dam 2½m hurdle winner. Stable 0-26 in bumpers in last 5 seasons so watching has to be the percentage call.

Form:

Tardree^h³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: L Morgan

7/2

Point winner. 8/1 and hooded, no match for a promising sort on his C&D Rules debut last month but he did see off 10 other rivals. Likely to be thereabouts.

Form: 43SF1-2

Forecasts

Dobryn (6/4), Northern Falcon (11/4), Tardree (7/2), Risk D'Argent (11/2), More Beer (22/1), Cheeky Ches (25/1), Fabuleux Du Clos (80/1), Skipness (80/1)

Sam Thomas has had 6 winners from only 11 runners in November so there's every reason to believe DOBRYN can build on last month's Hereford debut success. Tardree may have bumped into a smart sort when a remote second on his C&D Rules debut 5 weeks ago and looks good for another placed finish. Northern Falcon, who is the mount of Brian Hughes, and More Beer are newcomers to note in the betting.
