Stewards Note:
DYNAMIC TALENT: Following its run on 4/12/2024 it was reported that the horse was very slowly away.

PLAY SMARTER
NAP HAND brings lots of potential to this sphere (a fairly useful Flat scorer) and is fancied to take a sizeable step forward from his hurdling debut Kempton third and get off the mark. Nicky Henderson’s useful French recruit La Pinsonniere rates a big threat though with Dinofromberlais, Ilitch and Thickthorn Tom all worthy of consideration for minor honours.

German Derbywinner PALLADIUM has been well touted as a juvenile to follow and, now making his belated start in this sphere, he’s likely to account for some average rivals. Jack Hyde could feature if he builds on his hurdling debut and Karton Plein’s point form gives him some hope despite an underwhelming start under Rules in a bumper TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.PALLADIUM (GER) 2.JACK HYDE (IRE) 3.KARTON PLEIN (FR)

Stewards Note:
FLAMELCO: Following its run on 1/1/2025 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run. TIMETO DAZZLE: Following its run on 28/12/2024 it was reported that the horse made a bad mistake at third last. SOLID FUEL: Following its run on 9/7/2024 it was reported that the horse would prefer a faster surface.
Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Koenigsstern (IRE), 9-2 Tommy Cullen (IRE), 6-1 Lucky Lugger (GB), 7-1 Kayce Dutton (IRE), 11-1 Flamelco (FR), 14-1 Doc McCoy (IRE), Wise Guy (FR), 18-1 Iskar d’Airy (FR), 22-1 Time To Dazzle (IRE), 25-1 Solid Fuel (GB)
TOMMY CULLEN ran a cracker starting out for a new yard after a year off when chasing home a subsequent winner at Doncaster and, given 6 weeks to get overthose exertions, he’s fancied to make another bold bid from a 2lb higher mark. Fontwell winner Koenigsstern has made a really sound start over the larger obstacles and he’s an obvious threat. Lucky Lugger also makes some appeal.

SUPER SURVIVOR was value for extra over the result in overcoming an unsuitably steady pace at Doncaster25 days ago, so a 3lb rise intheweights doesn’t look enoughto prevent him from following up Shanagh Bob has made a modest start to his chasing career, but he looked a useful prospect when winning his first 2 starts over hurdles, so can’t be taken lightly reverting to this sphere, with Staffordshire Knot completing the shortlist after a promising run at Leopardstown last time.

Plenty in with a squeak but the suggestion is KNOCKNAGAPPAGH, who looked the most likely winner before attempting to take the last home with her at Leicester last month. Pearl Island showed his battling qualities when scoring at Uttoxeter recently and nudged up just 3lb, he can give the selection most to think about provided the blinkers have the same effect. Brother Boris can edge out Get Cracking for minor honours.

KOSASIEMPRE went close to making it 2 from 2 over fences when beaten a short head at Fakenham in December, just failing having met trouble, so she is taken to resume winning ways with the potential of more still to offer She can get the better of the hat-trick seeking Another Day Out, with Mighty Moth also considered on only her third chase start.

This represents a good opportunity for DIAMONDS GALORE, who stepped up on what she showed first time out when finding just one too strong at Uttoxeter and should prove hard to beat Dramatic Encore’s introduction at Southwell was encouraging and, with improvement on the cards, she is preferred to Barford Groover and Walkingtheline for forecast purposes.
