Little Watson²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss S Smith| D

85/40

Successful start for Nigel Twiston-Davies at Stratford in May and good effort under a penalty for new yard here 3 weeks ago, going down fighting even with the winner lugging into him for a fair portion of the straight. Strong claims.

Form: 12

Anjandansar⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: J Coulson

250/1

Leading Light gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Leading Theatre. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Minella For Steak. 150/1, well beaten in Worcester bumper in August.

Form: 0

Benmore

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

11/2

Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to hurdler Shannon Gray. Dam ran once over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Beakstown. Yard can ready them and he's respected.

Form:

Happy Harrison

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: G Hanmer

12/1

Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Titanium Moon and fairly useful hurdler Petite Amadee.

Remus⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling

3/1

Form: 4

Tony Joe

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien

2/1

Westerner gelding. Closely related to smart hurdler/top-class chaser Ahoy Senor, and half-brother to 2 winners, including fair hurdler/useful chaser Snuff Box. Yard's bumper runners going well once again and he's of obvious interest.

Form:

Our Rosie⁵⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: C J Todd| T: M Mullineaux

150/1

Well beaten in Bangor bumper in April 2023.

Form: 7/

Forecasts

Tony Joe (2/1), Little Watson (85/40), Remus (3/1), Benmore (11/2), Happy Harrison (12/1), Our Rosie (150/1), Anjandansar (250/1)

TONY JOE makes stacks of appeal on paper as a half-brother to Ahoy Senor and from a yard that makes hay in these races, so he could have the measure of the penalised Little Watson. Benmore is another newcomer to note.
