Super Survivor²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| D

4/5

Shantou gelding who was bought for £115,000 after finishing runner-up sole start in Irish points in May. Excellent start when winning 4-runner novice at Doncaster and he will take some stopping.

Form: 21

Autonomous Cloud³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Adrian Heskin| T: F O'Brien| OR: 116

2/1

Winner of bumper at Exeter for Colin Tizzard and encouraging start over hurdles for new yard when third at Leicester on belated return. Similar form when third at Wetherby.

Form: 19-33

Bells Of Rutland²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan

100/1

€6,700 3-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner The Trampolinist. Dam (c95/h100), 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m). Likely to be a long-term project judged on opening run.

Form: 5

Gala Des Lys^h¹²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: W T Kennedy| T: D Faulkner

300/1

Modest form at best in 3 bumpers and never a threat on hurdles debut.

Form: 76-69

Mourzouk²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

200/1

Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat but limited promise himself in 2 bumpers and a maiden hurdle.

Form: 566

Pimlico Point^t⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee

4/1

Cost £160,000 after winning his sole start in Irish points last May. Had wind surgery ahead of Rules debut (also tongue tied) and promising start when second in a bumper at Exeter.

Form: 12

Forecasts

Super Survivor (4/5), Autonomous Cloud (2/1), Pimlico Point (4/1), Bells Of Rutland (100/1), Mourzouk (200/1), Gala Des Lys (300/1)

Point-recruit SUPER SURVIVOR looked really professional when making a winning hurdles debut at Doncaster and is expected to successfully defy a penalty. Pimlico Point also fetched a six-figure sum after winning between the flags and he is feared most on the back of a promising bumper effort.
