Settings
Selected odds by:
5/1, showed ability when third of 8 on C&D debut in December but this is a deeper race and he'll likely need improvement to finish placed again here.
|
Expensive son of Flemensfirth who shaped with bags of encouragement when second at Sandown in November. The one to beat with improvement on the cards.
|
£12,500 Scorpion gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Wagner. Dam (h96) 2m hurdle winner. Stable does well in bumpers so he needs keeping an eye on in the betting.
|
Bought for £6,500 last year and is a brother to modest hurdler High Five Oscar. Yard not known for bumper winners. Likely outsider.
|
18/1, 8 lengths third of 14 on Uttoxeter debut (soft) 72 days ago, finishing strongly. Stiffer test now should play to his strengths.
|
Geordieland gelding. Dam 6f winner. Likely outsider on debut.
|
£20,000 Milan gelding. Closely related to untrustworthy but smart hurdler Lieutenant Colonel. Dam bumper winner. Yard has had a bumper winner but he'll need to be useful to take this on debut.
|
Arvico gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to bumper winner/useful hurdler (2½m-21f winner) Pere Blanc and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Behindthelines. Best watched on debut.
|
€5,500 Dylan Thomas gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to 2m French hurdle winner) Mazalunna and fairly useful hurdler Honey Pound. Betting should help guide to expectations.
|
14/1, made an encouraging start when third of 13 in bumper at Ascot (good to soft) in November. Likely the chief threat to Flemenstide.
|
Malinas mare. Dam, 2¾m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Poole Master. Second in a point back in March but she's likely to need longer trips than this under Rules.
|
Arvico mare. Half-sister to useful bumper winner Cool George and ungenuine but fair chaser Long John. Hooded for debut. Yard 0-14 in bumpers in last 5 seasons.
|
Forecasts
Flemenstide (4/5), Top Of The Bill (3/1), Landen Calling (9/1), Kicksaftersix (10/1), No Word Of A Lie (12/1), Grumpy Freya (14/1), The Plimsoll Line (20/1), Barbarian (50/1), King Orry (80/1), Pol Ma Cree (150/1), Mollyvico (200/1), Mr Sociable (200/1)
FLEMENSTIDE shaped very well when second on his Sandown debut in November and can go one better now with improvement on the cards. Top of The Bill is the obvious danger after his promising third at Ascot. Landen Calling is another who showed plenty of ability on debut and completes the shortlist.
- FLEMENSTIDE (IRE)
- TOP OF THE BILL (IRE)
- LANDEN CALLING (IRE)
