Selected odds by:

City Derby⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| D

9/2

Confirmed debut promise (unseated when set to go close) when scoring in bumper Lingfield 57 days ago but will need to find more if he's to defy a penalty against better opposition.

Form:

Silent Revolution⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls| D

11/4

Shaped promisingly in second at Wincanton on debut and didn't need to improve on that when landing an 8-runner event at Huntingdon 74 days ago. He'll need to do more now penalised, though.

Form:

Charlie's Glance^t1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin

14/1

Passing Glance gelding. Brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Passing Call, stays 2½m, and fairly useful chaser Neil The Legend. Wears tongue strap.

Form:

Head On

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: Ian Williams

11/1

€42,000 3-y-o, Robin Des Champs gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Flemings Dream. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Drumbaloo.

Form:

Moonlight Flit¹¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

10/1

Appealing on paper and likely to leave his uninspiring debut at Uttoxeter (112 days ago), so not totally discounted.

Form:

Our Jester

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: H Morrison

11/2

Garswood gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Urban Artist. Dam (b102), bumper winner, also 1¼m-1½m winner who stayed 1¾m on Flat. Big player based on pedigree/connections/

Form:

Young Butler

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle

3/1

€21,000 3-y-o, Yeats gelding. Closely related to bumper winner/useful hurdler Carningli, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser Put The Kettle On. Of obvious interest on debut.

Form:

Master Malcolm^t1⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Jamie Bargary| T: Mrs E Bishop

22/1

Mastercraftsman gelding who had a wind op prior to his debut and ran with credit to fill the frame in a brace of small-field contests. Tongue tie fitted.

Form:

Tika Moon

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Rex Dingle| T: P R Webber

66/1

Casamento gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 8.5f Trolius. Dam temperamental maiden on Flat (stayed 8.5f).

Form:

Non-Runners

Fame And Concrete⁸³

Weight: 11-9| Age: 5

T: J & A O'Neill J: R P McLernon

Forecasts

Silent Revolution (11/4), Fame And Concrete (11/4), Young Butler (3/1), City Derby (9/2), Our Jester (11/2), Moonlight Flit (10/1), Head On (11/1), Charlie's Glance (14/1), Master Malcolm (22/1), Tika Moon (66/1)

FAME AND CONCRETE looked something out of the ordinary when powering away to make a winning debut at Southwell and should be up to defying a penalty despite some interesting opposition. Fellow winner Silent Revolution is a threat, while newcomers Young Butler and Our Jester are both appealing on pedigree.
