Kildisart⁴⁶²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: B Pauling| OR: 148

25/1

Excellent second in Ultima at Cheltenham Festival in March. Only twice raced since, and best excused his latest effort when seventh in Ladbrokes Trophy in November. Not ruled out off a reduced mark.

Amoola Gold^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Jack Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 148

11/1

Smart chaser who arrives on back of creditable third in 20f handicap at Warwick 21 days ago. Well worth considering off 2 lb lower mark here.

Form: 8-12643

Paint The Dream^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 147| C| D

8/1

Course winner who wasn't disgraced when last of 4 in handicap at Wetherby (19.4f) 28 days ago. No forlorn hope off an easing mark.

Form: 13-1044

Senior Citizen¹¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 144

14/1

Scored at Market Rasen in October and posted good second in Aintree handicap (21f) following month. Has won off a break before though so he can't be ruled out.

Form: 743-412

Kalooki^b1¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 143| C

14/1

Landed 3m Doncaster handicap over Christmas but he has run poorly at Haydock twice since, pulled up on latter occasion. Blinkers are reached for now with something to prove.

Form: 32-715P

Amour de Nuit⁶³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 142| D

12/1

Notched his first win over fences for 3 years in 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh (20.3f) in January. Up 7 lb and this is tougher, so others looks better treated at these weights.

Form: 590-331

Tamaroc Du Mathan^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 142| D

9/2

Very useful winning chaser at his best but he arrives well below par, undergoing wind op before remote fifth in 2m handicap at Sandown 28 days ago. Hard to enthuse over.

Form: 121U-P5

Farinet²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 137| BF| D

9/2

Ex-French chaser who scored readily at Sandown (20f) before failing to get home upped to 3m when fifth there last month. Sort to resume his progress back at his optimum trip now. Player.

Form: 231-P15

Glen Forsa^t²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Williams| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 134| D

5/1

One-time very smart chaser for Mick Channon. Not so good nowadays, but he gained first win for current yard in 22f Musselburgh handicap four weeks ago. Not dismissed despite 5 lb rise.

Form: 0P-4P41

Dublin Four^t⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 128| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner on yard bow in November but fell 2 out having been set lot to do at Ludlow (3m) only run since. Shouldn't be underestimated after his break.

Form: 3314-1F

Forecasts

Tamaroc Du Mathan (9/2), Farinet (9/2), Dublin Four (5/1), Glen Forsa (5/1), Paint The Dream (8/1), Amoola Gold (11/1), Amour de Nuit (12/1), Senior Citizen (14/1), Kalooki (14/1), Kildisart (25/1)

A tightly-knit handicap in which FARINET gets the nod given he still has few miles on the clock for Venetia Williams and will prove well suited by the return to this trip having not got home over 3m at Sandown last time. Kildisart has been sparingly raced this term but shouldn't be underestimated, especially if the market speaks in his favour, while Amoola Gold is weighted to have a say too.
