Selected odds by:

Celtic Dino¹²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas| OR: 118

4/9

Well positioned when making a successful start at Ascot and far from disgraced when third in a listed contest at same track. Strong claims back in calmer waters.

Form: 13

Jackpot Des Bordes¹⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

4/1

Cost six figures as a store and made the ideal start when landing an 8-runner bumper at Hereford 4 months ago. More to come and should go well under a penalty.

Form: 1

Holy Legend¹⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gillard| T: Alexandra Dunn

50/1

From a good family but hasn't shown enough encouragement as yet. Likely to struggle back from 6 months off.

Form: 8-4

Steel Dancer

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball

12/1

Norse Dancer gelding. Dam, winning pointer, half-sister to smart 2m hurdler Tudor City out of smart 2m-2¼m hurdle winner She's Our Mare. Noteworthy newcomer.

Form:

Washington Singer

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon

20/1

Telescope gelding. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Trainer’s newcomers command respect, particularly if strong in the betting.

Form:

Exmoor Plum²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott

66/1

Once-raced maiden. Already looking held when brought down in bumper at Taunton (16.5f, soft, 11/1) on NH debut 26 days ago. Hard to make a strong case for.

Form: B

Atowndown

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Cian Chester⁽⁷⁾| T: T H Weston

125/1

Quest For Peace gelding. Dam unraced. Not an obvious sort on pedigree.

Form:

Dark Material¹³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball

12/1

Half-brother to useful bumper winner The Kemble Brewery and, while he showed nothing over C&D 4 months ago, he could prove a different proposition this time.

Form: 9

Kilos Kelos

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: T H Weston

12/1

Mahler gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler El Champo and fair 2m hurdle winner Fia Fuinidh. Worth a market check with Bowen booked.

Form:

Diamond Deceiver^h1,t1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: H Brown

300/1

Failed to beat a rival at Kempton on debut and looks firmly up against it.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Celtic Dino (4/9), Jackpot Des Bordes (4/1), Kilos Kelos (12/1), Steel Dancer (12/1), Dark Material (12/1), Washington Singer (20/1), Holy Legend (50/1), Exmoor Plum (66/1), Atowndown (125/1), Diamond Deceiver (300/1)

CELTIC DINO made a winning start before acquitting himself well in listed company, both at Ascot, and he's fancied to double his tally back down in grade. Jackpot des Bordes is an obvious threat on the back of his successful debut and Steel Dancer is a notable newcomer.
