Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| D

5/6

Well-related Fame And Glory gelding who (9/4) overcame greenness to make winning debut in bumper at Ludlow (2m) 131 days ago. Runner-up has gone in since so one to beat despite saddling 7 lb penalty.

Form: 1

Chris Cool³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

18/1

Fair form in two bumpers, third at Catterick (15.7f, 25/1) on latter occasion when made his effort earlier than ideal. May do better still, so he needs considering.

Form: 53

Junior Massini

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: H James

150/1

Dr Massini gelding. Dam placed in points. Other newcomers make more appeal.

Form:

Pearly Island

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham

11/1

€26,000 3-y-o, Trans Island gelding. Makes appeal on paper and yard can ready them so newcomer is not without interest. Worth monitoring in the market.

Form:

Sol Plum Creek¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R T Dunne| T: Noel Williams

40/1

Little show in bumpers at Wincanton and Southwell before Christmas. Has work to do on his return.

Form: 08

Starevitch^t1¹⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

17/2

£105,000 4-y-o, Sinndar gelding. Half-brother to French 17f chase winner Laskof. Dam 2m hurdle/chase winner. Won sole start in Irish points and debutant commands lots of respect. Wears tongue strap.

Form: 1

Twistedfirestarter³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: R Spencer

18/1

10/1 and hooded, ran green when encouraging third of 5 in bumper at Fakenham (16f, heavy) on NH debut 32 days ago. Can do better so worth considering.

Form: 3

Walkonthewildside

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David England| T: O Murphy

12/1

Walk In The Park gelding. Dam fair 17f-3m hurdle winner. In good hands so debutant is one for the shortlist.

Form:

Kalmoor

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy

16/5

Kalanisi gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser Kalashnikov (by Kalanisi). Catches eye on paper and another newcomer who is worth a second look.

Form:

Who's Zoomin Who^b1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: James Davies| T: N B King

125/1

40/1 and hooded, eighth of 10 in bumper at Taunton (16.5f, soft) on NH debut 19 days ago, running green. Blinkered now and should do better.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Doddiethegreat (5/6), Kalmoor (16/5), Starevitch (17/2), Pearly Island (11/1), Walkonthewildside (12/1), Chris Cool (18/1), Twistedfirestarter (18/1), Sol Plum Creek (40/1), Who's Zoomin Who (125/1), Junior Massini (150/1)

Nicky Henderson has an excellent record in this sphere and his DODDIETHEGREAT is fancied to follow up his debut Ludlow victory and defy a 7 lb penalty with that form working out well. Jamie Snowden's Irish points winner Starevitch appeals as the pick of the rest, with fellow newcomer Pearly Island also not taken lightly either in a race where the market should prove highly informative.
