Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| BF

4/1

Milan gelding who shaped with promise when fourth if 8 on his C&D debut in December, keeping on from too far back. Open to improvement.

Form: 4

Exiguus

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: N Kent

28/1

£20,000 Blue Bresil gelding. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Forward Thinking⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

1/1

Shaped well when fourth of 12 on Warwick debut (soft) in December, finishing strongly once getting the hang of things. Looks a sure-fire improver for a yard with a strong bumper record.

Form: 4

Take Him Tom

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: P T Midgley

80/1

Telescope gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Kayf Legend. A rare bumper runner for his stable. The betting should provide more clues.

Form:

Un Sens A La Vie¹²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

5/2

£180,000 purchase after winning his second start in Irish points in October. Much respected for a stable which enjoys plenty of bumper success.

Form: 3-1

Scarlett Glance⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: A Irvine

300/1

200/1, last of 12 in bumper at Warwick on debut 49 days ago. Outsider again.

Telepieces

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Mrs P Sly

11/1

Telescope filly. Dam (c143/h126), 2m-25f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (winner around 2m) Xcitations. One to note in the betting for a yard no stranger to bumper success.

FORWARD THINKING was an eyecatcher on his Warwick debut and is worth a chance to confirm that promise. Market strength behind Irish point recruit Un Sens A La Vie would make him a possible threat, while Espresso Milan is another who should build on a promising debut.
