One Knight (IRE) Has done little wrong in two bumper efforts and will be a warm order for this race today
Bob Le Gaoth (IRE) By Bob Back out of a Strong Gale mare so not unappealing on first looks but, even though the stable can do well with these types of horses, more information would be needed before he could be fancied today
Bronzesmith Some promise in a reasonable bumper at Taunton in November
Charmouth Forest Unlikely to trouble the judge today
Grumpy Stumpy Winning pointer who will go on this ground; comes into the reckoning
Heresthething Unlikely to be troubling the judge today
Hussard Collonges (FR) Winning pointer and connections paid 46,000gns for him last August; improved last time but probably needs more time
Just A Touch He's a half-brother to Red Ark and comes from a canny stable; no show on debut at Folkestone
Pip Moss Jim Old runner and he's had his successes here over the years; not a forlorn hope
Umbrella Man (IRE) From Henrietta Knight's yard so has to be respected; likely to improve on debut run
Uncle Wallace A gelded son of that grand mare Auntie Dot but chasing will probably be more his game
Cats Cross A sister to Kittenkat, fair staying handicapper; some promise on deut run
Estrela Candente From Mark Usher's stable and is a little hard to assess
Glenlyon Ryde Well behind Freddie Taylor on debut run; dam is well related, mainly to chasers
Freddie Taylor Staying on fourth on debut (Glenlyon Ride held); a big step up on that is required today
Jaloux d'Estruval (FR) Ninth in a fair Ascot bumper last month; bred to be a chaser and may need more time
Tappingthecoffin Stable is not an obvious source of winners here and is an unlikely winner today
Sweet Minuet Little in the way of form to get excited about in her chance today
