Selected odds by:
Hinted at ability in bumpers but he's shaped like a longer-term project in a couple of spins over hurdles so far this winter.
|
Scorpion gelding who has improved with each start in bumpers, again finding only one too good when keeping on at Catterick (15.7f) in November. Goes hurdling now.
|
Fairly useful 1m Flat winner for this yard but does stay 1¼m. Not a great deal of short-term promise to glean from pair of hurdle outings so far this winter and he may be one for handicaps later on.
|
Showed little in bumpers/over hurdles to date.
|
Fairly useful 14f winner on Flat and pleasing start when third on yard/hurdles debut in a Southwell maiden (15.8f) 3 weeks ago, keeping on gradually having been caught some way back. Entitled to do better.
|
Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m). Not always fluent when last of 4 on hurdles debut at Fontwell (17.7f) in September and below his best back on the level in recent weeks.
|
Authorized half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart hurdler/high-class chaser Sceau Royal (15f-17f winner). Fair form in French juvenile hurdles, 3 lengths fifth at Bordeaux (18.4f) in April. Very interesting on return for powerful yard.
|
Modest maiden on Flat, stays 6f, well held in handicaps last 2 starts. Hard to warm to now tackling timber. Hood replaces cheekpieces.
|
Fair maiden on the Flat for William Haggas and showed an aptitude for hurdling after 4 months off when second in 8-runner event at Ludlow (15.8f) in November. Not in same form when filling same spot at Southwell 8 days later but given a break since. Not dismissed.

Forecasts
Toothless (5/4), Liverpool Knight (7/4), Balgowan (13/2), Boleyn Boy (11/1), Stopnsearch (12/1), City Roller (18/1), Dandy Maestro (28/1), Miss Connaisseur (200/1), Hunsbury (250/1)
A half-brother to very smart hurdler/high-class chaser Sceau Royal, TOOTHLESS showed fair form in juvenile events in France early last year and, with progress anticipated representing a powerful stable, he could be the way to go on return. Liverpool Knight looks the chief threat on the back of an encouraging third at Southwell 3 weeks ago. Balgowan can emerge best of the remainder.
