13/2 |
The Procrastinator
Slugged it out gamely for a 1l success on November's Doncaster debut (2m, soft; pair clear) under Luke Scott; vulnerable conceding weight all round, but may cope better than most if the rain sets in.

- Chocolate Cosmos
- Lily Pinchin / C E Longsdon
|
|
|
14/1 |
Chocolate Cosmos
Half-sister to Graded novice chase winner Kylemore Lough with two more in Ottowa and Calling Brave elsewhere in the pedigree, so best days likely lie a little way ahead; yard 0-6 in bumpers so far this term.

- Crystalate
- R T Dunne / T H Weston
|
|
|
25/1 |
Crystalate
5,000euros daughter of a maiden pointer from an immediate family rich in bumper winners (one Listed); yard bagged an 18-1 bumper winner last week and has done much of its winning in this division latterly.

5/2 |
Graceful Glance
October's Stratford debut second (2m, good to soft) looks better form now, the winner all but defying a penalty next time and fourth Tenter Le Tout a Grade 2 hurdles winner since; bit too green to seal the deal switched to hurdling last time, but obvious claims if wiser now.

- L'amandine
- G Sheehan / Jamie Snowden

|
|
8/1 |
L'amandine
Half-sister to two bumper winners (one between the flags, the other at Sedgefield for this trainer); definite appeal for a yard currently operating at a 24% strike-rate in this sphere for 2025-26.

- Millady
- Toby Wynne / Mrs M Rowley

20/1 |
Millady
16-1, got the hang of things steadily to post a staying-on sixth on her Hereford debut (2m, soft), albeit still beaten 21l; more needed.

- Oceanides
- Benjamin Poste / E De Giles
|
|
|
20/1 |
Oceanides
Owner-bred out of a 1m6f/2m Flat winner (RPR 59), whose own dam was 2-2 in hurdles around here; still not quite the appeal of some.

- Semele
- Tom Cannon / L Wadham

10/1 |
Semele
Probably value to have beaten Wait For This by further when fourth at Newbury latest given some traffic problems, though by no means unlucky not to win; chance if able to step up a little further on that effort.

- Stars Align
- Freddie Gordon / N J Henderson
|
|
|
3/1 |
Stars Align
48,000euros yearling out of a French 9.5f Flat/2m1f hurdle-winning sibling of a Listed 1m scorer; respected, for all that the yard's formerly formidable strike-rate in Ludlow bumpers has been diluted by a few winless seasons here.

|
|
- Steal A Glance
- Sam Twiston-Davies / A J Honeyball
|
|
|
8/1 |
Steal A Glance
Dam (a half-sister to high-class chaser Handstands) won five on soft or heavy for the Honeyballs, including a hurdle here and a bumper on stable debut; tongue tie applied on debut; check market.

- Wait For This
- Ben Jones / Miss E C Lavelle
|
|
95
|
8/1 |
Wait For This
From a gifted family and posted a respectable near-8l fifth on debut at Newbury last month (2m, good to soft), keeping on despite an initial refusal to settle; entitled to build on that.
