Geryville190
Age: 8|  Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR:  120| C
Course winner. Latest win in chase at Carlisle in March. 7/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, soft). Off 6 months. Definite claims if he's fully tuned up for this return.

Age: 8|  Weight: 12-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR:  120
Opened chase account at Stratford last summer and resumed winning ways over 2½m at Huntingdon a year ago. Probably needed his return at Market Rasen but needs to prove he retains all his ability.

Itso Furyt24
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-13| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: Jonjo & A O'Neill| OR:  119
Useful handicap hurdler. Bettered previous chase efforts when second in handicap at Ludlow last time. On an appealing mark and stable appears to be turning a corner, so he's worth taking a chance on.

Captain Quintp27
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: Paul Robson| OR:  118| D
Cheekpieces on when regaining the winning thread in a 7-runner Musselburgh handicap (23.6f, soft) in February. Has struggled since but may come on for his debut for this yard (left Rose Dobbin) at Kelso last month. Cheekpieces go back on.

Harjo30
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-11| J: S Bowen| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  117| D
Ready winner on second chase start at Wincanton last December. Let down by his jumping subsequently and was no better for a return to hurdling at Warwick a month ago.
|
Timeform
Winner of back-to-back handicap chases at Southwell (both over 24.3f) during the spring. Fell 5 out when bidding for the hat-trick over the same C&D penultimate start and should strip fitter for latest effort over hurdles. Not dismissed.

Timeform
Well handicapped and took a firm step back in the right direction for his in-form yard when third at Ludlow last time. Obvious player if he can build on that.

Roll With Itp22
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR:  114
Improved model for new yard this season, running out a 10-length winner at Worcester in September. Produced another solid effort when second from his inflated mark at Warwick next time but found run of good form coming to an end at Chepstow on latest.

Horse silk
Jar Du Desert196
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Broughton(5)| T: N Kent| OR:  108
Showed fairly useful form over hurdles for Tom George prior to making a successful chasing debut in a 4-y-o event at Auteuil for N. George & A. Zetterholm in May. However, not at that level over hurdles/fences for present yard.

Forecasts

Geryville (5/2), Itso Fury (11/4), Taste The Fear (6/1), Topofthecotswolds (7/1), Roll With It (10/1), Harjo (10/1), Gold Link (10/1), Captain Quint (16/1), Jar Du Desert (20/1)

Verdict

ITSO FURY made a positive step when runner-up at Ludlow on his latest outing and he's well treated on hurdling exploits, so he gets the marginal vote over Geryville, who was in good order when last seen 6 months ago. Topofthecotswolds is another one to consider.
