13/8

Brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdle winner/smart chaser Minella Crooner. Won sole start in Irish points in April and powered clear in the manner of a useful prospect at Chepstow in October. Similar form when second at Ascot 2 months later and he demands respect.

Form: 1-12

17/2

Half-brother to modest 2m hurdle winner Mavis Pike. Dam 19f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdlers/chasers Indifference Curve (stayed 3½m) and Ardera Cross (stays 21f). Imposing sort physically and made perfect start in 12-runner bumper at Huntingdon 16 days ago.

Form: 1

Bamber⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A King

28/1

El Salvador gelding. Brother to a point winner. Dam, pulled up in point, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (winner at around 2m) Herons Heir. Mid-field on debut and entitled to build on that, though this looks a tough ask.

Form: 6

Cool Palmer⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

5/1

Blue Bresil gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) By The Boardwalk and modest hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stays 3m) Bolsover Bill. Promising start when third of 13 starting out at Southwell in December. Will know more this time so improvement forthcoming.

Form: 3

A King Of Magic

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: T H Weston

11/1

Fourth foal, dam, French hurdler/chaser (17f-2½m winner), half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Kaki de La Pree. Tough ask on debut.

Form:

Our Boy Stan⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

7/4

Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful bumper winner/useful hurdler Go Dante and fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Angel of Harlem. Pitched in deep but excellent debut effort when second of 16 in listed bumper at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Major claims.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Moneygarrow (13/8), Our Boy Stan (7/4), One Knight (4/1), Cool Palmer (5/1), Storming George (8/1), Spectacularsunrise (17/2), A King Of Magic (11/1), Bamber (28/1)

It probably wasn't a vintage renewal but OUR BOY STAN made a really promising start to his career when runner-up in Cheltenham's listed bumper on New Year's Day. In receipt of weight from most, he looks the answer, for all there is depth to this, with Moneygarrow and One Knight of major interest.
