Teaforthree sets a good standard and is likely to give his supporters a good run for their money,
but Harry The Viking has continued his rapid improvement under Rules since switched to fences
and could prove the best option, with the marathon trip expected to play to his strengths. Allee

TIMEFORM SAYS...
Alfie Spinner (IRE)
Dual hurdles winner who got off the mark at third time of asking over fences at Chepstow in
December. Better form in defeat both starts since, but others form stands up to greater scrutiny.
Allee Garde (FR)

Quickly left hurdles form behind switched to fences, running to a very useful level when third in a
couple of Graded races at the turn of the year and shapes as if he needs more than 3m.
9-11-6
Mr M. Mcconville
Mr Michael McConville
Ben's Folly (IRE)

Four-time hurdle winner since joining current yard and even better form when second on chase
debut at Newbury. Amiss over timber last month, and this a tough race to bounce back in.
Blenheim Brook (IRE)

All his chase runs have come in small fields, winning at Newcastle (3m) and Ayr (25f). Likeable
type but needs to improve quite a bit to take this upped markedly in trip.
Bob 'n' You (IRE)

Completed hat-trick over hurdles in 2009/10. Found only The Giant Bolster too good on chase
debut at Worcester in October 2010, but limited encouragement over timber on recent return.

Cottage Oak (IRE)

Bumper/hurdles scorer and already a dual winner over fences, latest at Perth (3m) in August.
Good third over an inadequate trip (3m) at Down Royal in November, but blew out on recent
return.
Court Red Handed (IRE)

Has improved for a switch to fences for current yard, landing second win of the season at
Wetherby in November. Back to form in this headgear last time, but plenty on his plate here.

Leggy Lad (IRE)

Run well all starts over fences, adding to Southwell win when scoring at Warwick last month.
Sure to appreciate this stiffer test, but good deal more improvement required all the same.

Won sole start over hurdles for John Quinn, and has taken well to fences for new yard, jumping
well when justifying favourtism at Down Royal last month. Type to relish this sort of test.
FIULIN
chg Galileo (IRE) - Fafinta (IRE)
Took a hefty rise in the weights after finally opening account under Rules in 25f chase at Hereford
in Decmeber. Completed only once since (amiss latest), so others more persuasive.
Teaforthree (IRE)
Useful form when scoring twice at up to 3m over hurdles and ultimately found a good opening
over fences at Towcester (3m) in January. However, this an altogether different test.
Our Victoria (IRE)

Largely campaigned with credit over fences since winning at Sligo in September. Similar story
back over timber last time, but others make greater appeal on first try at 4m.

Won a point in January and made rapid strides under Rules, completing the 4-timer over 3m on

Simonsig - Make Your Mark (IRE) - Monksland (IRE)
TIMEFORM VIEW
With Fingal Bay and Boston Bob absent, the path looks clear for Simonsig to gain a big win, with
conditions likely to suit this strong-travelling sort. The ground might be a bit lively for Sous Les
Cieux, so Make Your Mark and Monksland may prove the main dangers.
TIMEFORM SAYS...
Baldadash (IRE)
Bought for 30,000 after winning maiden Irish point and made promising hurdling debut when
third at Lingfield in November. Failed to build on that on softer ground since, and out of depth
here.
Batonnier (FR)
Helped by the way the race panned out, but no denying the improvement he showed to get off the
mark in 2m Grade 2 at this track in January. More still needed, but deserves a crack at this
level.
Benefficient (IRE)
Quickly put his Thurles flop behind him when springing a surprise against established useful sorts
in Leopardstown Grade 1 last month. Little wrong with that form but this requires more again.
Unbeaten under Rules, and booked his place for this when a smooth winner of Grade 2 at Naas
in January on first crack at 2m. Hard to believe he's not capable of even better.
Nagpur (FR)
Fair level of form in France, and won 2 of 4 starts over hurdles for this yard, including Fontwell
handicap in January. Latest second in listed event at Huntingdon exposes limitations, however.
Natural High (IRE)

Won bumper in 2009 and successful 3 times on the level since. Off the mark at first attempt over
hurdles at Galway but off the track since September, and let go by Dermot Weld in the meantime.
Nelson's Bridge (IRE)

Has created very good impression when winning bumper at Bangor and 19f novice hurdle at
Taunton. Step up in trip promises to suit, and he'll leave bare form well behind.
Simonsig
Point/bumper winner for Ian Ferguson, and has quickly established himself as a high-class
hurdles prospect, his only defeat coming at the hands of Fingal Bay. Massive player if coping with
this test.
Sous Les Cieux (FR)

Stylish winner of 2m Fairyhouse maiden in November prior to beating Galileo's Choice in Grade
1 Royal Bond there. Progress has stalled since, and possible he needs testing ground to be seen
at best.
Sunny Ledgend
Won 2 of 3 starts over hurdles this season, and good second to Carrigmorna King in a stronger
event at Newbury in between. Way off the standard required in this, however.
The Tracey Shuffle

Dual bumper winner who has made a promising start over hurdles, chasing home Nagpur at
Lingfield (19f) prior to landing the odds at Ayr. Not the yard's first string judged on jockey
bookings.
Secret Edge
Won listed event at Wetherby in October and upped his game when third to Batonnier in 20f
Grade 2 event here in January. Still hard to see him troubling the principals.
14:40 RSA CHASE (Grade 1) (1)
Brass Tax (IRE)

Irish point winner who took a step forward over hurdles when fourth in a 3m Grade 2 event at
Cheltenham and runner-up in novice at Market Rasen last 2 starts. Flying too high here.

class.

Double Ross (IRE)

Felix Yonger (IRE)

Bumper winner for Howard Johnson, and has won 2 from 3 over hurdles for new yard this term.
Far from fluent when winning Naas Grade 2 last time, and will need to jump better in this.

Won 2011 Spa Hurdle, and beat Cue Card on chase debut at Newbury. In frame both subsequent
starts, again not fluent when second to Invictus at Ascot last time, but still open to further
progress.
Call The Police (IRE)

Jumped well when easily winning a maiden chase at Gowran, and good second of 4 to Last
Instalment in Dr P J Moriarty at Leopardstown (21f) last month. Doubts remain about his ability to
stay 3m.
Cannington Brook (IRE)

Second-season novice who failed to stay 29f when fifth in Welsh National, but sandwiched that
effort with handicap wins at Haydock, both on heavy ground. Not quite the same force away from
the mud.
First Lieutenant (IRE)

Won Neptune Hurdle here last year, and successful in graded chases at Tipperary and Cork in
November. Excellent second in Leopardstown Grade 1 after Christmas, and may well do better
still.
Grands Crus (FR)

Top-class hurdler who looks at least as good in this sphere, unbeaten in 3 runs, the latest when
beating Silviniaco Conti and Bobs Worth in Feltham at Kempton. Sure to prove tough to beat.
Join Together (IRE)

Fell on chase bow at Chepstow in October, but has won both starts here since, taking a step
forward when beating Mossley over 25f in December. Bold jumper who won't fail for lack of
stamina.
Lambro (IRE)
Made a winning chase debut at Naas in November. Better form in defeat since, 3 lengths third
of 4 to Last Instalment in 21f Leopardstown Grade 1 last time, but needs more to trouble best of

Mr Moonshine (IRE)
Bold-jumping front runner who's taken well to fences this season, winning twice. Limitations
exposed when only fifth of 6 behind Grands Crus in Feltham, though, and well held over hurdles

TIMEFORM VIEW
With doubts over Finian's Rainbow's ability to get up the hill this could come down to last year's
1-2 Sizing Europe and Big Zeb. The former is the one to beat again, but the betting does very
much reflect that and more value is to be had by backing Big Zeb each-way given it's very difficult
to see him out of the first 3. Kauto Stone could take third.
TIMEFORM SAYS...
Big Zeb (IRE)
Finished out of the first 2 only once since falling in this in 2009, making amends in 2010, and
finding only Sizing Europe too good 12 months ago. Hard to see him not being involved.
Finian's Rainbow (IRE)

Bold-jumping front runner who is 5 from 7 over fences, and travelled best in 17f Grade 1 at Ascot
in January until overhauled close home. High cruising speed a big asset here, but can finish
weakly.
Gauvain (GER)
Landed valuable C&D event for second successive season on return, but has failed to complete
on 2 of last 4 starts. Headgear back on, but others still readily preferred.
I'm So Lucky
Won Celebration Chase at Sandown in 2010, and not discredited on both chase starts this
season, 8 lengths to Sprinter Sacre at Newbury last time. Will play no more than a minor role
here.
Kauto Stone (FR)

Followed Grade 2 win at Down Royal (2m) with a clear second to Sizing Europe in Tingle
Creek. Possible to forgive Ascot flop latest and this only his fourth run for Paul Nicholls. Place
claims.
Realt Dubh (IRE)

Third in 2011 Arkle, and took Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse in April. Not seen since chasing
home Captain Chris at Punchestown in early-May, however, and will do well to take this without a
prep run.
Sizing Europe (IRE)

Lowered colours of Big Zeb in this contest last year, and has looked as good as ever this season,
easily landing Tingle Creek before beating Big Zeb again at Punchestown last month. The one to
beat.
Wishfull Thinking
Hugely progressive last season, winning at both Aintree and Punchestown festivals.
Disappointing this time round, and has questions to answer at present.

Balgarry (FR) - Act Of Kalanisi (IRE) - Bally Legend
TIMEFORM VIEW
French-import Balgarry holds an obvious chance at the weights under a penalty for his recent
Newbury demolition job and can give the Pipe team another win in this valuable handicap. The
consistent Act of Kalanisi is also worth considering, while Bally Legend has a better chance than
his odds may reflect.
A dual winner in France and better than ever when winning heavy-ground handicaps at Haydock
in December and Carlisle last month. Has looked moody, however, and has faster conditions to
deal with now.
Shoreacres (IRE)
Right at the top of his game reverting to hurdles when runner-up last 3 starts, finding only
unexposed sorts on each occasion. Frame claims.
First Fandango
Has improved since sent handicapping this term, running out a cosy winner over 2m at
Leicester in November. Drop in trip against him later that month but not seen since. Cheekpieces
tried.
Saphir River (FR)

Smart hurdler in France for Carlos Lerner, and proved stamina for 3m when second in Grand Prix
d'Automne in November. Sold for 280,000 after that, but faces a stiff task on debut for new yard.
Silverhand (IRE)
Better than bare result when ninth in this 2 years ago and won all 3 outings last term. Not seen
since finishing a creditable sixth in Galway Hurdle in July but can go well fresh.
Veiled
Won 3 of first 5 races over hurdles, impressive in listed mares handicap here. Also won twice
back on Flat in summer (including at Royal Ascot), but not seen since flopping at Wincanton in
November.
Megastar
TIMEFORM SAYS...
Get Me Out Of Here (IRE)
Very smart handicap hurdler who was runner-up in last year's County. Even better effort when
chasing home Zarkandar in valuable event at Newbury last time and claims off 4 lb higher.
Carlito Brigante (IRE)

Won this event last year and good third in 3m Grade 1 at Punchestown in May. Not seen over
hurdles since poor run at Wetherby in October, but recent Flat run will have sharpened him up.
Third Intention (IRE)

Won twice as a novice and improved again this season in some good handicaps. Tongue tied
and not extended to land small-field Grade 2 at Fontwell, but hit hard by the assessor for that.
Featherbed Lane (IRE)

Progressed well on joining current yard, winning handicaps at Ascot and Aintree prior to nose
second in Lanzarote at Kempton. Trip too far last time and expected to bounce back.
Useful hurdler who hasn't really kicked on over fences this term. Not badly treated back over
hurdles if tongue tie gets him back on track, but not one to rely on.
Bally Legend
Likeable sort who has been in good form this season, winning couple of handicaps (yard's last
winner here in December). Better than bare result last 2 starts and lively outsider.
Star Of Angels
Very lightly raced since finishing fourth from 8 lb out of weights in this 3 years ago. Proved he
retains all of ability when winning at Wincanton on second start after long absence in January.
Consigliere (FR)
Back to best to win 21f Wincanton handicap chase in January, and in frame both starts over 3m
since, despite not fully convincing with his stamina. Back over hurdles now.
Act Of Kalanisi (IRE)
Final Approach
Gritty winner of 19f Ascot handicap last season, and not seen since posting a career best behind
2 unexposed sorts in the Lanzarote. Remains on a tempting mark for yard which won this in
2007.
Deserving of extra credit when landing last year's County from 10 lb lower mark. Even better form
in defeat this term before landing odds at Cork in January, and easy to excuse latest run.
Abergavenny
Golan Way
Good third behind Brampour in Greatwood in November but below that level over hurdles since
(won jumpers' bumper at Southwell on penultimate outing). Should stay this far.
Had the run of things when springing a surprise in a listed chase at Sandown in December. Out of
his depth in King George when last seen and not the obvious winner on return to hurdles.
Son Of Flicka
Spirit River (FR)
Soundly beaten on all 4 starts this season, looking laboured in the Lanzarote. 5 lb lower than
when beaten length in Martin Pipe handicap at this meeting 12 months ago.
Developed into a smart hurdler in 2009/10, landing this race from 4 lb lower. Lightly raced and
things not gone to plan since (failed to take to fences) and this a tough race to bounce back in.
Dare Me (IRE)
Smart bumper performer who won a couple of novice hurdles at Exeter in 2010. Better than result
in each of his 2 starts this year, and further improvement to be expected now upped in trip.
Knight Pass (IRE)

Talented bumper performer and confirmed his opening mark to be a lenient one when a taking
winner at Kempton (21f) on Boxing Day. Failed to settle when disappointing in Grade 2 here
latest.
Poole Master
Useful bumper winner who has reached similar standard over hurdles, completing hat-trick with
5-length success in 21f novice at Newbury early this month. Interesting handicap debutant.
Cape Dutch (IRE)

Winner 3 times from 5 starts in this his first season over hurdles, further progress when taking
2m handicap at Musselburgh from Cotillion in February. Likely to do better still.

TIMEFORM VIEW
Dark and Dangerous (IRE)
The handicapper has underestimated Vendor and he looks to hold a clear-cut chance.
Stablemate Ardlui, Paul Nicholls' French-recruit Ulck du Lin, and Kazlian top the list of dangers.
Left modest Flat form behind over hurdles, winning 2m events at Sandown and Plumpton. Fared
as well as could be expected against couple of smart prospects in last month's Adonis. Tongue
tied now.
TIMEFORM SAYS...
Gorgeous Sixty (FR)
One Cool Shabra (IRE)
Useful on Flat and a 10-length winner of Auteuil maiden hurdle in September. Made low-key start
in 2 runs for new yard but could well prove different proposition on handicap debut.
Likeable front runner with 3 wins this term and another good run in Grade 2 Naas event last
month. Not a fluent jumper, though, and mammoth task on his plate off top weight here.
Sportsmaster (IRE)
Dual Flat winner in 2011 and successful first completed start over hurdles in 2m Naas maiden in
January. Great effort in handicap there last time but likely needs to improve again now blinkered.
Argocat (IRE)
Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Thurles (2m) in January. Could have more to
offer now entering handicaps and won't mind faster surface.
Edeymi (IRE)
Une Artiste (FR)

Fair start over hurdles, following up Pau win at Haydock last month for new yard. Bit
disappointing in Adonis subsequently, though not given hard time. Handicap debut.
Ardlui (IRE)
Off the mark over hurdles in 2m Newbury juvenile event in December. Unsuited by steady pace at
Doncaster, and that won't be a problem here. Tongue tied now and could be well treated on Flat
form.
High Samana
Well-bred gelding who didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Clonmel (2m) last month. Not
obviously well treated now handicapping, but in very capable hands.
First success in 17.5f juvenile maiden at Folkestone in November. Seemed to take big step
forward behind Une Artiste at Haydock last time but unlikely to be holding many secrets from
handicapper.
Kapga De Cerisy (FR)
Royal Bonsai
Reached a useful standard in France in the autumn, and posted a much better effort second
British start when landing 2m Sandown contest last month. Needs even more now handicapping.
Took very well to hurdling last year, finding a weak Grade 2 to complete the hat-trick at Doncaster
in December. Rather more exposed than some here, and assessor may have overreacted.
Kie (IRE)
Lemon Drop Red (USA)
Scored twice over 2m early on this season and back to form in second at Musselburgh last time.
Looks up against it here off opening mark, however.
Three-time winner up to 1m on Flat. Strong form when runner-up on hurdling bow at Kempton,
and off the mark when justifying favouritism at Southwell last month. Interesting on handicap
debut.
Colebrooke
Has won on soft ground at Fontwell and Sandown. Out of his depth in Grade 2 here last time and
this doesn't look all that easier. Has made mistakes.
Chill (IRE)
Arnaud (IRE)
Fair performer on Flat and opened account over hurdles in 2m Leopardstown event in December.
Good run in Naas handicap last month but 11 lb rise done him no favours. Visor latest headgear
tried.
Impressive hurdles debut in December, landing a 2m Limerick maiden readily. Reportedly made a
noise next time at Gowran before put in his place in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse. Stiff task.
Jackies Solitaire
Bat Masterson (IRE)
Smooth winner at Chepstow and better than bare result on a few occasions since, notably when
chasing home Alasi in Doncaster Grade 2 last time. Fairly treated.
Has taken well to blinkers, making virtually all in 2m Naas maiden before a good third in Grade 2
at Fairyhouse. Good 7 lb claimer booked and one of the more interesting Irish challengers.

YES WAY HOSAY (IRE)134
Champagne Fever (IRE)

Won a point last April and stepped up on debut in this sphere when a facile winner at Fairyhouse
in January, despite again showing a high head carriage. Bred to stay well.

A. P. Mccoy
TIMEFORM SAYS...
Moved powerfully when winning at the third attempt at Newcastle in November, but found nothing
after again travelling best in listed event at Ascot last time, eventually finishing fourth.
Many Clouds (IRE)

Bred to need a test of stamina, but didn't look short of speed when taking a newcomers event at
Wetherby last month. Hard to know what he beat there, but visually impressive, and will improve.

bg Milan - La Noire (IRE)
Progressing well in bumpers, winning his last 3 starts on varying ground. Was particularly
impressive at Gowran last time, and experience he has gained will stand him in good stead in this
field.

Mr J. P. Romans
Well backed, but found out by inexperience when promising third on debut at Lingfield (polytrack)
in November. Good third to Shutthefrontdoor at Ascot next time, but thrashed by that rival since.
Pique Sous (FR)

Better effort in bumpers (tongue tied on debut) when winning at Leopardstown in February from
Dancers Dilemma. That wasn't the strongest event for the track, but respected given yard's
record here.
Royal Guardsman (IRE)

Routed rivals at Fontwell (2m) on debut last April, and belatedly built on that effort when
winning a competitive Ascot event last month. Has a bright future, and one to take seriously here.
Sir Johnson
Successful on all 4 starts in this sphere, and deserves extra credit for conceding lumps of weight
at Aintree in October, when he had Royal Guardsman back in fourth. Not one to take lightly.
The Romford Pele (IRE)

Runner-up on first 2 starts, and then improved when winning at Bangor after a break last month.
Has a future over jumps, but looks to be flying too high here.
Village Vic (IRE)

Point winner who won an ordinary affair at Chepstow in December. Much improved when second
to Shutthefrontdoor at Newbury last time, when giving impression there is more to come. Not
ruled out.
Yes Way Hosay (IRE)

Easy winner on second point start, and stayed on well to land a modest bumper at Wexford in
October. Looks one to follow when tackling hurdles, but lack of pace may prove his undoing here.
Cool George
Pedigree something of a mixed bag, but sprung a shock for his small yard when easily landing a
17f Exeter bumper in January. No fluke about that performance, but this is a much stiffer test.
Horatio Hornblower (IRE)

Belied inexperience when promising third to Shutthefrontdoor in warm contest at Newbury last
month. Slight concern that a race like this may come too soon for him, but a smart prospect
nonetheless.
Jezki (IRE)
From a good family, and has won both starts in this sphere, putting up a smart performance to
defy a penalty at Leopardstown 10 days ago, despite showing a tendency to flash his tail.
New Year's Eve

Has won both starts in bumpers at minor tracks, showing a fine turn of foot to outclass the
opposition on each occasion. Looks capable of a good deal better, and big chance here.
The New One (IRE)

Justified market support when winning strongly-run Warwick bumper in November, and better
form when taking listed event here in January, both over 1m. Sure to do better over 2m, and
merits respect.
Virginia Ash (IRE)

Half-brother to talented jumpers Bensalem and Court In Motion. Good third to The New One on
debut here in January, and didn't need to improve to take a 4-runner affair at Kempton last time.
