11st 8lb

J: Toby McCain-Mitchell

T: Mickey Bowen

Has been bang in form on his favoured good ground and only narrowly failed in his hat-trick bid at Kelso last week (3m2f, good); an assured stayer who might hang around for some place money but others are more intriguing.

Home-bred half-brother to hurdle winner Abingworth; dam also won over hurdles; trainer 12-101 in bumpers in last five years but won with only bumper runner here in that time; could well be a danger.

J: Tom Cannon

Hurdle winner who made it third-time lucky over fences when justifying favouritism at Huntingdon (extended 2m7f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb but he was as good as ever with that clearcut win and is open to more progress at staying trips; big player in new headgear.

J: Tom Cannon

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Winning hurdler but a hard ride and needed lots of driving before staying on into third on his second chase start at Fontwell two weeks ago (2m5f, good); at least he arrives in some form and this longer trip is worth a go.

W: 10st 10lb

4 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
Satisfactory start when runner-up to a penalised rival over C&D last month; will probably need to benefit from that if he's to win this.
