13:25 On A Promise

ON A PROMISE quickened up in pleasing fashion when scoring in a small-field C&D handicap on his debut for this stable and, given the winning margin arguably underplayed his superiority, it would be no surprise were he to defy a 5-lb rise. Scottish Accent ranks as the main danger having been runner-up the last twice, while Ruinous shouldn’t be dismissed.

13:55 Wise Glory

WISE GLORY was above-average on the Flat and arguably still on the up when last seen, so a chance is taken on him to make a successful hurdling debut having left Simon Crisford and joined a top NH stable. Fiveandtwenty is the clear form pick based on what’s been achieved in this discipline, so he’s an obvious danger along with Historic Heart.

14:25 Threeunderthrufive

THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE impressed in the autumn and looks the type to go on improving now returning after a break, so he’s fancied to complete the hat-trick up in trip. Fantastikas is bound to be winning races before long, with The Golden Rebel also well respected following his wide-margin Doncaster win.

14:55 Prince Kayf

The fact PRINCE KAYF has been absent for 13 months is a slight concern, yet his form in novice company last season has been well and truly boosted and he’s worth siding with to confirm his opening mark a feasible one now stepping up in trip. Kaizer ran well behind Navajo Pass last time and is feared, along with Nikgarde.

15:25 Bareback Jack

BAREBACK JACK has very quickly developed into a useful hurdler and, with both his wins backed up by good timefigures, there’s reason to believe he can upset standard-setter Third Time Lucki, who has looked a smart prospect so far. Tommy’s Oscar is improving rapidly and shouldn’t be taken lightly, either.

15:55 Event Of Sivola

EVENT OF SIVOLA got no further than the first at Ayr 3 weeks ago but he was beaten only by a subsequent winner at Catterick prior to that and is worth another chance. Eagle Ridge is bidding for a C&D hat-trick so must be on the shortlist, while low-mileage 9-y-o Hills of Connemara caused a surprise at Newcastle but the form is backed up by the timefigure.

16:25 Bollingerandkrug

BOLLINGERANDKRUG is bred for this sort of test so the fact he managed to dictate a 2m novice at Kelso is encouraging. He’s taken to follow up on handicap debut at the main expense of Golden Emblem, who left her previous efforts behind when defying her opening mark at Market Rasen. Bullion Boss is best of the others.
