STORMY FLIGHT confirmed his return to form when scoring in good style at Taunton 16 days ago and the 9-y-o can follow up with more to offer at staying trips. Windance is feared most following his wide-margin success at Fontwell last time, with Minella Buster the pick of the remainder

PLAY SMARTER

A potential match on paper between SNIPER POINT and Walk Of No Shame, with Alexandra Dunn’s French recruit getting the verdict to come out on top and supplement her Cagnes-Sur-Mer victory on New Year’s Day. The aforementioned Walk Of No Shame was fairly useful in bumpers, while By Pass and Beautiful Surprise can fight out third spot.

TIMEFORM VIEW Thirteen runs since last win in 2020 but has been in good form this term, placed on 4 of his last 5 outings. Back up in trip here and handicapper perhaps has him in his grip at the minute, for all he should run respectably again. TFRHHHII BHA103

Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No 3. Blinkers worn by No 1.

Tongue Strap worn by No 5, 7, 8. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 8.

Stewards Note:

ISLAND RUN: Following its run on 21/12/2022 it was reported that the horse erred at the last.

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Bluffmeifyoucan (GB), 5-1 Island Run (GB), 6-1 Hatos (FR), 13-2 Oscars Moonshine (IRE), 15-2 Ballymagroarty Boy (IRE), 9-1 Sermando (FR), 14-1 Jet Smart (IRE), 33-1 Pontresina (IRE) PLAY

None of these appeal as being particularly solid, but OSCARS MOONSHINE has slipped below the mark from which he completed a hat-trick in 2020 and a chance is taken that he’ll be able to build upon the slight promise of his 2 starts in the autumn. Bluffmeifyoucan is yet to string good runs together but would take high rank if backing up his Fontwell second, whilst Island Run is another player if jumping better

PLAY SMARTER

NOBLE SAVAGE lost the race in the stewards’ room here last time but is able to race off an unchanged mark so can gain quick compensation. Handicap-debutant Tedwin Hills is feared most on the back of his excellent second here last time out, while Begin The Luck appeals as the pick of the rest and a solid place prospect.
