Exploited some significant help from the handicapper when winning here (2m3f, good to soft) last month, after a mammoth absence; remains very lightly raced and could still be well treated after a 6lb rise.

11 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
An excellent servant to connections over the years and makes his seasonal debut from a workable mark but all nine wins were gained on soft or heavy ground, and he might find 2m1f around here too sharp nowadays.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Grand servant to the yard with 11 hurdles wins; did what he's been doing for years by bouncing back to exploit a falling mark on his favoured testing ground at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January; most tenacious and impossible to dismiss off 3lb higher.

Long in the tooth now and not the force of old but was nudged up only 1lb for last month's clear second in refitted cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) and ought to be better suited by this slower ground.

Seven-time hurdle winner who posted career-best performance when scoring under Alex Chadwick at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) 12 days ago; only due to go up 4lb for that, though, and has 7lb penalty to carry here.

Form & Verdict
Safely held in valuable handicap at Market Rasen in July but has generally done very well for Robbie Llewellyn over the last 18 months or so (six wins); looked in excellent nick at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) two starts ago and stable conditional Sean Clarke claims 10lb here.

No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features.

Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect.

J: Mr James King

T: Robbie Llewellyn

Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break.
