Winner of his last four starts here including when sent off favourite the last three time. Latest success came off a 6lb lower mark over this trip on good ground last month and every chance of following up in this.

6/1
Victorious over 3m at Perth (good) last month and that marked a significant return to form on his third start for this stable. Leading jockey again in the saddle as he seeks to follow up off a 7lb higher mark.

Lightly raced since winning off a 3lb lower mark at Perth (good-to-soft) in September 2015. Finished third in a point-to-point on good ground at Overton last time out and returns to rules today.

Maiden in point-to-points and well beaten in three novices chases for this yard in recent months including when 39L fourth at Perth two weeks ago. Wears a visor on handicap debut today.

8/1
C&D winner on good ground in April and ran well when runner-up here subsequently. Sent off favourite when well held off this mark subsequently and he may be in the handicappers grasp right now.

Horse silk
Tommy O'dwyerp11
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Coltherd(5)| T: N Mechie| OR:  85| D
10/1
Three time point-to-point winner but well beaten in the main since returning to rules. Well held over C&D off a 7lb higher mark last time out and more needed if he's to figure here.

Horse silk
More Madnessp,t118
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: Julia Brooke| OR:  85| D
12/1
Dual winner under rules but last success came back in October 2013. Returning from over five months off the track when fourth at Southwell (good) over 3m last month but more needed in first time tongue tie here.
9
Horse silk
Lilly's Legendp10
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-8| J: Miss E Todd(7)| T: M Walford| OR:  82
8/1
Impressive winner over an extended 2m7f in a selling handicap chase at Kelso (good) last month. Unseated rider at the start returning to hurdles at Southwell next time however and races off a mark 10lb higher than for her latest success today.

Age: 11|  Weight: 10-5| J: Ryan Winks(5)| T: H Bethell| OR:  79| D
28/1
Regularly finishes in the frame but overall win record is poor (1/19). Finished 19L third on softer ground over C&D in March when last seen in action and interesting to see how he fares in this.

Horse silk
French Seventyfive10
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Bewley(3)| T: G Boanas| OR:  75| D
22/1
Ridden by a useful amateur rider in the main in recent years including when pulled up at Southwell (good) over 3m in a handicap hurdle last month. More needed with a change of jockey here.

16/1
Well beaten in the main since winning a handicap chase over an extended 2m4f at Bangor (good) in Ma 2016. Beaten nearly 10L into fifth at Huntingdon last time and likely to struggle in this.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-0| J: Finian O'Toole(5)| T: Mrs S Walton| OR:  73
16/1
Yet to win in 18 starts in total including 16 outings under rules. Finished 9¾L third of nine over 3m at Perth last time out but more needed if he's to take this contest from out of the handicap here.

Age: 10|  Weight: 10-0| J: Amie Waugh(7)| T: Mrs J Walton| OR:  70| D

50/1
Finished a distant runner-up in a point-to-point in November 2015 but rules form for this stable has been poor. Well held here last month and likely to struggle from out of the handicap in this.

Forecasts

Hattons Hill (11/4), Don Franco (6/1), Lilly's Legend (8/1), Apache Pilot (8/1), Tommy O'dwyer (10/1), Longueville Flier (11/1), More Madness (12/1), Detour Ahead (16/1), Call Zac (16/1), Daydream Island (16/1), Touch Of Steel (20/1), Reverse The Charge (22/1), French Seventyfive (22/1), Bertie Milan (25/1), Nalim (28/1), Rhythm Of Sound (50/1), Toreador (125/1)

Verdict

HATTONS HILL can defy top weight and register his fourth C&D success on the spin here. The selection made all when winning here last time out but is flexible in terms of tactics and he can see of Perth winner Don Franco who is attempting to defy a 7lb rise in the weights today. Lilly's Legend won over fences at Kelso last month and put a mishap at the start last time out behind her by claiming minor honours in this.
