10/3

Dam unraced half-sister to temperamental but fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Court By Surprise. Placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points and lasted longer than expected from the front in listed company at Cheltenham. Not quite in same form when third at Lingfield (AW) latest.

Form: P-363

Phoenix Reach gelding. Dam (b86) 1½m bumper winner, also 1½m winner on Flat. Interesting newcomer.

Paddy Elvis⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: J J Slevin| T: S R B Crawford| BF

10/3

Elzaam gelding. Dam (h69) ran once over hurdles. Well backed but offered little on debut at Aintree in November. Has to be capable of better than that.

Form: 9

Rouse⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies

10/1

Didn't shape with much obvious encouragement when eighth of 12 on Aintree debut in November but stable's good form at present provides hope for better now.

Form: 8

Slugger^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: I Jardine

7/4

Ocovango gelding. Dam, no show sole start in bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (best around 2m) Falcon Island. Noteworthy newcomer. Wears hood.

Form:

Owzthat²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson

40/1

Travelled with purpose when sixth of 9 in bumper (33/1) at this C&D (standard) on NH debut 24 days ago.

Forecasts

Slugger (7/4), Jack Hyde (10/3), Paddy Elvis (10/3), Highfield Prince (15/2), Rouse (10/1), Mister Moodles (14/1), Nortonthorpebanker (25/1), Nulli Secundus (40/1), Owzthat (40/1), Farnon (50/1), Dragon Art (80/1), Wheres The Crumpet (150/1), Heer He Goes (150/1), Houxty Reiver (200/1)

Given his pedigree, this AW bumper should be ideal for MISTER MOODLES and, representing a stable in form, he's awarded the vote on debut. Jack Hyde sets a fair standard, with Slugger another newcomer to take seriously.
