Selected odds by:

Virtuel D'oudon^p²⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 135| D

40/1

Narrow winner of a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow (soft) in February 2015 but pulled up on his return from nearly two years off the track earlier this year. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 2P181/P-

Eminent Poet²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: L Treadwell| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 134

20/1

Heavy ground handicap hurdle winner at Lingfield in March but well held on his seasonal debut at Carlisle earlier this month. Has won over further in the past.

Form: 11813-9

Kris Spin²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 133

5/1

Improved on his seasonal debut when winning over an extended 3m at Ayr (heavy) last time out. Raised 4lb for that victory and is one to note with the soft ground forecast in his favour.

Form: 3/35F-51

Zeroeshadesofgrey²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: T E Whelan| T: N B King| OR: 130| C

8/1

Seven time winner in a 24 race career but could finish only fifth on his return to hurdling at Wetherby (soft) recently. Likely found the trip too sharp on that occasion and this test looks more suitable.

Form: 2723P-5

Beast Of Burden^h1³⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 127

7/4

Winner of three of his first four starts but failed to finish on four of his last five starts. Tongue tie worn last time out is replaced with a hood for today's stable debut on his first outing in 12 months.

Form: 9UFP/3P-

Late Shipment^p²⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 125

28/1

In good form last winter winning three times prior to finishing runner-up over 3m2f at Warwick (soft) in March. Raised 4lb for that effort and worth a check in the market on his seasonal debut.

Form: 213112-

Ice Cool Champs²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 124| BF

3/1

Lightly raced individual who was a winner on heavy ground at Hereford in February. Decent effort to finish third at Wetherby (soft) on handicap debut earlier this month and looks likely to appreciate this step up in distance.

Form: 213-3

Malapie¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 117

7/1

Twice a winner so far most recently over 3m at Southwell (soft) in March. Satisfactory fourth on his seasonal debut last time out and receives weight from all of his rivals today.

Form: FB/21P-4

Forecasts

Beast Of Burden (7/4), Ice Cool Champs (3/1), Kris Spin (5/1), Malapie (7/1), Zeroeshadesofgrey (8/1), Eminent Poet (20/1), Late Shipment (28/1), Virtuel D'oudon (40/1)

ICE COOL CHAMPS shaped well when placed on handicap debut and with this step up in trip likely to suit he can register a second career victory with the soft ground forecast today another positive for Philip Hobbs' charge. Zeroeshadesofgrey should appreciate this return to staying contests following an outing over shorter earlier this month while Kris Spin is another to note having won on heavy ground at Ayr last time out.
