7 yo Gelding

OR: 112

Form & Verdict
Just 1-11 over fences but has performed well on his last three appearances, most recently when ridden very positively from the front in first-time blinkers at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) last month; could take some catching over today's shorter trip.

T: Anthony Honeyball

Three wins last year (2m2f-3m1f, heavy-good) and returned to his best with good second over C&D (heavy) last month in reapplied blinkers (retained); 2lb higher than last time and has solid claims.

Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten on chasing debut last April and has reverted to hurdling this term; opened account with 7l course win last month (2m1f heavy) and bumped into a improver when second of four at Lingfield (2m, heavy) three weeks ago; contender if all goes to plan on this second attempt at chasing.

Bumper/hurdle winner who goes well on slow ground; he returned to fences at Hereford two weeks ago and looked booked for second when falling late on; has a chance off 1lb lower.

J: Tom Bellamy

T: Dominic Elsworth

Mud lover who suffered big defeats both starts over fences for Jonjo O'Neill; couldn't land a gamble on his fourth outing for this yard when second of eight over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month; suitability for chasing and this trip unproven but weighted to be competitive.

Form & Verdict
2-15 over fences, the latter win gained here (2m3f, heavy) in February; this race looks stronger, though, and he's been safely held off today's mark twice this month.

Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark.

J: Ned Fox

Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky.

Form & Verdict
0-24 over fences; looked set to get off the mark before last-fence fall at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft; form very well advertised by fortunate winner since) in January but ran very poorly over that C&D last month and is 9lb out of the weights here.
