Fusil Raffles²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson| OR: 152| CD

11/10

Has looked a smart recruit to chasing when readily beating Gumball at Uttoxeter before following up over C&D, scoring by nine and a half lengths in an excellent time. Accurate jumper and one to beat.

Form: 11P0-11

Eldorado Allen³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R M Power| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 146| D

13/2

Useful over hurdles, despite enduring a stop-start career, and he posted an impressive success on his chasing debut at Newton Abbot last month. Yard going well now so sure to be in the mix.

Form: 1U/230-1

Gumball¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 147| D

6/1

Smart hurdler who haped with promise when third behind Fusil Raffles on his chasing debut at Uttoxeter and then improved to win over C&D with plenty in hand. Should launch a bold bid from the front.

Form: 2600-31

Le Patriote^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 148| C| D

18/1

Got off the mark over fences on his reappearance at Market Rasen last month, though that race didn’t take much winning as his two rivals underperformed. Should build on that but others are preferred.

Form: 14840-1

Quel Destin³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 155| CD

7/2

Smart hurdler who made the most of a good opportunity to score on the Flat at Bath last month having undergone a wind operation, but will need to run to a high level to win this on his chasing debut.

Form: 5/18512-

Zarkareva^t³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Aidan Coleman| T: H De Bromhead

16/1

Fell on her first start over fences at Tipperary but ran out a wide-margin winner at Sligo and then followed up in Grade 3 company at Punchestown. Needs to take a big step forward here.

Form: 67-0F11

Forecasts

Fusil Raffles (11/10), Quel Destin (7/2), Gumball (6/1), Eldorado Allen (13/2), Zarkareva (16/1), Le Patriote (18/1)

FUSIL RAFFLES won an uncompetitive race last month but it was over C&D and an excellent time adds substance to the form, so he is fancied to make it 3-3 over fences. Both Eldorado Allen and Gumball have much better days ahead of them too so are fancied to chae home Nicky Henderson's very bright prospect in a fascinating novice chase.
