Modest chaser who edged ahead close home to double his tally at Fakenham in May. Resumed with a good second off this mark at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) and should make his presence felt here, too.

Fair hurdler/chaser for Paul Webber and, on the back of another round of wind surgery, he made a positive start for this yard when chasing home Camino Rocio at Wincanton (20.2f, good). The winner gave that form a boost when winning again on Tuesday and this 7-y-o is very high on the shortlist.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring| T: R Potter| OR:  86| CD
Opened chase account over C&D in June, following which he was placed at Cartmel and Stratford. Went off too hard at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) under a conditional rider last time and interesting back down in trip in this slightly lower-grade handicap.

Notched third success over fences when winning by a wide margin over C&D during the spring. Didn't run at all badly when third of 10 back from a break returned to this course in September and he's an each-way player off the same mark.

Went close on second of his 2 starts between the flags and, though it's been all rather low-key over hurdles so far, there was some promise in his latest handicap debut sixth at Exeter. May do better now switched to the larger obstacles.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-8| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton| OR:  80
Still looking for his first success (0-8 over hurdles) and will need to raise his game in order to make a winning chase debut.

Veteran who registered the first leg of a Market Rasen double last winter in this corresponding race. Not disgraced by any means when fifth of 10 back from a 4-month break at Ludlow and, down another 3 lb, he's dangerous to discount back at his old stomping ground.

Hey Day Baby51
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-5| J: Benjamin Macey(10)| T: Jonjo & A O'Neill| OR:  77| CD
Former point winner looked a different proposition on second chase start when cruising home over this C&D in August. However, her overall profile is hardly convincing and she has been pulled up both subsequent starts.

Age: 8|  Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Reed| T: T Reed| OR:  76
Bumper winner who was just poor under Rules and, though successful on final outing for Michael Scudamore at Worcester in August 2023, there were no positives to glean from his debut for this yard at Ayr recently.

Forecasts

Eyed (2/1), Kankin (11/4), Zmiinyi (11/2), The Electrician (7/1), Caro Des Flos (14/1), Hey Day Baby (14/1), Unwanted Attention (14/1), Jumbo Veste Verte (16/1), Ironhill (20/1), Scottsdale (66/1)

Verdict

EYED couldn't match strides with Camino Rocio on debut for Hughie Morrison at Wincanton but, with the winner going in again off a 7 lb higher mark at Huntingdon this week, that form looks solid. The 7-y-o is taken to go one better here. Kankin did little wrong when runner-up at Plumpton last time and he should go well. Zmiinyi is interesting now switched to fences and merits respect, along with each-way players Caro des Flos, The Electrician and Unwanted Attention.
