J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Rather lost his way last season after winning at Newbury in October and last week's Fakenham run was an all-time low; tries a visor this time, but blinkers and cheekpieces did nothing for him.

Lord Baddesley

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Anthony Honeyball

Easily won three-runner race at Newbury (2m4f, good) in October but subsequent form last season was underwhelming; well handicapped now (even from 1lb out of the weights) and will probably be okay back at 3m but needs the new cheekpieces to perk him up.

10st 10lb

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Anthony Honeyball

Easily won three-runner handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good) on reappearance; jumped left when 6l third of four at right-handed Ascot (2m5f, good) next time, and his 13l sixth of nine at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) came in a race that worked out extremely well; heavy going excuses him being tailed off at Warwick and he could go well now back on better ground.

0-10 over fences; gave good account when fourth at Hereford (2m, good) in November but his overall record is not persuasive, and he was safely held on latest outing two months ago.

J: David Noonan

T: Gary Moore

Won his first two chase starts last autumn (2m3f/2m7f, good/good to soft) and close second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in January; perhaps unsuited by the first-time visor when pulled up at Fontwell last month and could go well if taking to the first-time cheekpieces today.

Ozzie Man

J: Caoilin Quinn

T: Gary Moore

He went up 6lb for beating only three rivals in his second chase at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) and he never threatened to bring up the hat-trick at Plumpton (3m1f); might be capable of better than he showed there and Caoilin Quinn's claim is welcomed; has won over this trip on good ground.

7/2

Verdict

Ozzie Man has made a very good start to his chasing career and probably still has more improvement to come but he’s up in grade today and preference is for FOR LANGY, who ran well in defeat at Fontwell last month and remains well handicapped on some of last season’s form. Name In Lights makes his chasing debut here and is also of interest.[Chris Wilson]
