Chancellorstown²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Lawes

25/1

Placed on 2 of 3 starts in Irish points and shaped as if needing the run when fourth of 11 in a Fontwell novice (17.7f) 4 weeks ago, unable to sustain effort.

Form: 2P/3-4

Dancing Master¹⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryan Carver| T: N P Mulholland

300/1

Poor handicapper on Flat in Jersey nowadays, stays 16.5f: has left Christa Cuthbert. Hard to recommend on hurdle debut.

Form:

Diamatiste²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: K Woollacott

150/1

Fourth both starts in points but showed only minor promise when filling same position in a 10-runner Exeter novice (16.7f, heavy) on recent Rules debut.

Diesel Line^h1⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott

11/2

Attracted support and made a winning debut in good style in 9-runner bumper at Exeter last February. Could only manage a remote third on his hurdle debut at Taunton 9 months later but should do better. Hood goes on.

Form: 1-3

Entity Of Substanz

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

15/2

No Risk At All gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Eva's Oskar, stays 33f, and useful hurdler/chaser Amore Alato. Dam (c120/h121) 2m-21f hurdle/chase winner. Noteworthy newcomer to watch closely in the betting.

Form:

Hidden History³³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: C Gordon

11/1

Sold for £45,000 after easily winning an Irish point last February. One to note in the betting on hurdle debut.

9/4

5-y-o who improved plenty again when third of 14 in maiden hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 15 days ago, finishing with running left. Open to further improvement and looks up to winning a novice hurdle.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

9/1

Form: 3/9-4

Officer Of State²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore

12/1

Useful on the Flat (stays 15f) for Andre Fabre. Sold for 65,000 gns in October and should improve on his opening effort in this sphere when last of 5 in introductory event over C&D 24 days ago.

Form: 3-05

Tough Approach^t1⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: D PipeWS

66/1

Runner-up sole start in Irish points in March and showed plenty to work on when third in a Newton Abbot bumper but made an unpromising start to hurdle career at Uttoxeter in November. Tongue strap on for 1st time (also had breathing op).

Form: 2-36

Two To Tango⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

7/2

Form: 35-3

Fantastic Artist^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Stronge

300/1

Down the field in minor events/handicaps on the level and has offered little both stats over hurdles.

Forecasts

Into The Park (9/4), Two To Tango (7/2), Diesel Line (11/2), Entity Of Substanz (15/2), Jaitroplaclasse (9/1), Hidden History (11/1), Officer Of State (12/1), Alnilam (14/1), Soir De Gala (14/1), Chancellorstown (25/1), Samazul (50/1), Tough Approach (66/1), Diamatiste (150/1), Fantastic Artist (300/1), Aworkingman (300/1), Dancing Master (300/1)

INTO THE PARK caught the eye finishing right on the heels of a much more highly-touted pair without being not knocked about at Taunton 15 days ago and looks well worth siding with to confirm the promise of that run. Entity of Substanz and winning-pointer Hidden History are a pair of interesting Rules debutants who require close market scrutiny.
