Poncho¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

Star Flyer²⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Dylan Kitts⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W Greatrex

18/1

Related to winners and offered encouragement when third at Newcastle 9 months ago, albeit looking more of a staying type.

Welsh Charger²⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph

8/1

Showed a bit when sixth at Bangor on debut 6 months ago but he appears to be more of a long-term project.

20/1

800 gns gns 3-y-o, Zoffany gelding. Dam unraced. Didn't cost much but he's worth a market check.

Form:

Villainess

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

2/1

Yeats filly. Sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Sabrina, and closely related to 2 winners. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

Non-Runners

Highway One O Four

Weight: 11-2| Age: 4

Forecasts

Iolaos Du Mou (7/4), Villainess (2/1), Poncho (9/2), Harvie Wallbanger (5/1), Welsh Charger (8/1), Highway One O Four (16/1), Star Flyer (18/1), Zoffalay (20/1), Overtheline (25/1)

PONCHO showed enough at Market Rasen 168 days ago to think he can win a race like this, so he takes narrow preference over Iolaos du Mou, who looks the pick of the newcomers ahead of Villainess. Harvie Wallbanger also deserves some respect.
