7/2

Placed on only start in points and off the mark over hurdles at Hereford in May. After 5 months off, unseated at fifth in handicap at Kempton (24f, good to soft) on chase debut, before badly hampered back hurdling last time. Needs to find more.

Form: 37-21U8

Another Folly³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 105

11/4

Runner-up both outings in points before showing fair form on second run over hurdles last season. Matched that level on his first chase start when third in handicap at this course (19.2f, good) last month and he's likely to improve over fences.

Form: 2/66P3-3

Forecasts

Florencethemachine (4/6), Another Folly (5/2), Face D'music (9/2)

FLORENCETHEMACHINE wasn't able to justify favouritism at this C&D on her chasing debut last month, but she shaped best having not always been fluent and her jumping can improve with that experience behind her. The Paul Nicholls-trained mare is preferred to Another Folly, who is also open to improvement as she makes her second chase start.
