Selected odds by:

War Soldier⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Thomson

8/1

Point recruit who made a succesful start in bumpers at Newcastle in December. Form doesn't look anything to shout out (second/third beaten since) so he will need more to defy penalty.

Form: B5-31

Bella Union

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: J C McConnell

11/2

Mahler half-brother to 4 winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Sharp Rise and useful hurdler/chaser Go Another One. Likely sort on paper for Irish yard no stranger to success in Britain.

Form:

Bingoo²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt

12/1

9/2, ran to a fair level when third of 10 in a Newcastle AW debut on his debut in January. May do better but more will likely be required to take this.

Form: 3

Langdale Lane

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: S R B Crawford

7/1

Kalanisi half-brother to fair hurdler Transient Bay. From respected yard and would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour.

Form:

Maximilian⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

3/1

Successful sole start in Irish points (Oct 31). Joined good yard ahead of Rules debut. Very much a player if the betting suggests he's fancied.

Form: 1

Paddock Cottage⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards

9/2

£45,000 Pour Moi gelding. 7/2, promise when thrid of 14 on his Ayr debut in November, staying on after running green. Likely to improve for experience for stable with good bumper record.

Form: 3

Supreme Gift⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| BF

10/3

Off mark in Irish points at second attempt last May and has shaped well when runner-up in bumpers at Southwell and Huntingdon for new connections. Should make a bold bid to go one better now.

Form: 4-122

Top Ville Bobby²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby

40/1

9/1, 17 lengths sixth (Bingoo third) of 10 in bumper at Newcastle (AW) on debut 20 days ago. Will need to leave that well behind.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Maximilian (3/1), Supreme Gift (10/3), Paddock Cottage (9/2), Bella Union (11/2), Langdale Lane (7/1), War Soldier (8/1), Bingoo (12/1), Hashtag Lord (12/1), Top Ville Bobby (40/1), Izzy Bell (50/1)

SUPREME GIFT sets the standard on his pair of runner-up efforts towards the end of last year and gets a narrow vote ahead of likely improver Paddock Cottage. Point-winner Maximilian and Irish-trained newcomer Bella Union are other interesting contenders in a contest where the market could be informative.
