Selected odds by:

Destiny Is All^p²³

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Power⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 113

11/4

Boasts a good record when fresh and bolstered that after 6 months off when landing 6-runner handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, good to soft) 23 days ago, rallying to lead on run-in. Respected up 3 lb returned to this significantly longer trip (fourth in this race 12 months ago).

Form: 03642-1

Camp Belan^b²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 111

4/1

Thorough stayer who cashed in on his reduced mark at Ayr (24.1f) in February. Creditable efforts in defeat have followed, 6¼ lengths third of 6 behind stablemate Destiny Is All on the back of 6 months off at Ayr 23 days ago. Likely to be sharper here.

Form: 33125-3

Broken Ice^p,t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: A Harvey⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 109

8/1

On a lengthy losing run but did run well in pair of starts over fences/hurdles in August. Latest run when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.7f, soft) 26 days ago was a respectable one but stamina to prove now tackling this significantly longer trip back over fences.

Form: 256427

Breeze Of Wind^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 107| CD

13/2

Point winner who proved progressive over fences last season, his fourth career success coming in this race from 4 lb lower mark 12 months ago. Comeback fourth at Bangor (24.1f) in October was a solid effort and respected for all he's largely been campaigned on much softer ground.

Form: 12144-4

Elleon^p,t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 105| C

9/2

Still not the most of fluent of jumpers but has enjoyed a fine start to the season, winning brace of handicaps here (at 3m) and in-the-frame all 5 starts since. Likely to give his running again and he's unexposed at marathon trips.

Form: 133432

Jem In Em^b,t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 102

8/1

Consistent hurdler but stepped up on his return/chase debut run when fourth of 10 in handicap at Kelso 45 days ago, even a well-run 3¼m not getting near the bottom of him. Demands of this sort of test look sure to suit and respected with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Form: 424-384

Low Mileage²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 97

20/1

Fairly modest maiden over hurdles/fences in Ireland and not shown much in 2 chase tries (7 months apart) for present stable. Marked increase in trip needs to have positive effect now.

Form: P5450-0

Dr Shirocco¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 87| C

16/1

Winless following 20 attempts over hurdles but has already won 3 times in this sphere, the latest over 3m here in May. Solid efforts next 3 starts prior to a disappointing run after 4 months off at Sedgefield (21.1f) 15 days ago. Return to this venue a plus but has stamina to prove.

Form: 2-12348

Dequall^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 78| BF| C

12/1

3-time winner over hurdles (including here) but the latest of those come back in 2021 and whilst he's been in good nick over timber in recent months, this not the easiest of assignments returned to chasing from out of the weights.

Form: 8-26P23

Forecasts

Destiny Is All (11/4), Camp Belan (4/1), Elleon (9/2), Breeze Of Wind (13/2), Jem In Em (8/1), Broken Ice (8/1), Dequall (12/1), Dr Shirocco (16/1), Low Mileage (20/1)

Claims can be made for a host here including last year's winner BREEZE OF WIND. He returned to action with a solid fourth at Bangor 22 days ago and the significant step back up in trip is firmly in his favour. Elleon is another of interest along with Jem In Em, who has often shaped like worthy of a crack at a marathon trip.
