Selected odds by:

Return Fire^t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 100| CD

4/1

Well suited by the demands of this track and, on back of a recent spin over hurdles, capitalised on reduced mark when taking 9-runner handicap chase (24.2f) 12 days ago. Drop in trip won't inconvenience him and possibilities up 6 lb.

Form: 4U6-641

Flash Du Pistolet²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 100| BF

11/2

Ex-pointer who displayed fair form at best over hurdles and encouraging return from 10 months off when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, good to soft) on debut over fences 25 days ago, no extra only late on. Rates a likely improver in this sphere.

Form: 32/244-4

Lisloran²⁸¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Ross| OR: 97| DWS

20/1

Won 3 times over fences at around 2½m during 2022/23 campaign. Failed to kick on from a respectable run over hurdles last term, running poorly when sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) in February. Cheekpieces worn then are discarded back from 9 months off/following wind surgery.

Form: 317/376-

Okavango Delta^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Craig Nichol| T: Paul Robson| OR: 94

12/1

Hurdles winner who shaped with encouragement starting out for new yard when fourth in handicap chase here (15.6f) in October. Couldn't build on that when sixth at Kelso (17f) next time but a return to this longer trip may well see him in a better light here.

Form: 23-P646

Poetry Man^p¹⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 93

10/1

Failed to trouble the judge over hurdles but more like it with cheekpieces enlisted/sent chasing, placed in pair of Newcastle handicaps during the spring. Unseated both starts around here at 3m thereafter but he's certainly not one to write off returning from 6 months off.

Form: 7P32U-U

Kauto D'Amour⁴⁰³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S J Smith| OR: 92| D

25/1

Dual hurdles winner who was placed on all 3 completed starts over fences in 2022. Fell on sole outing of last year over C&D in October and he'll need to have brushed up his jumping now returning from another lengthy absence.

Form: 0P232/F-

Ribeye²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: P Atkinson| OR: 91| CD

13/2

C&D winner who stepped up on his reappearance run here, when 6 lengths third of 7 in handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f) 3 weeks ago. Merits a second look operating just 1 lb above the mark he last tasted success from.

Form: 4-3F273

Cudgel^p,t¹⁷²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Walton| OR: 85| C

8/1

All 6 career wins have been registered at this course and he typically gave a good account of himself when third in a C&D handicap 6 months ago. Has gone well fresh in the past and he's another in with a shout.

Form: 4222-63

The Paddy Pie¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S J Smith| OR: 84| CD

11/2

Losing run stretches back almost 2 years but his mark reflects that and he comes here having run well when second of 11 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f, good) 15 days ago. Can't be ruled out at this level.

Form: 474-P52

Kicksaftersix^h³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 81| C

5/1

Opened his account in a handicap chase over 15.6f here in summer 2023. Winless since but consistency hard to knock in recent months, again finding only one too good back here 39 days ago. Yard amongst the winners and step back up in trip within range.

Forecasts

Return Fire (4/1), Kicksaftersix (5/1), The Paddy Pie (11/2), Flash Du Pistolet (11/2), Ribeye (13/2), Cudgel (8/1), Poetry Man (10/1), Okavango Delta (12/1), Ex S'elance (20/1), Lisloran (20/1), Kauto D'Amour (25/1)

It could be worth siding with RIBEYE who stepped up on his comeback run when finishing a good third at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and lines up just 1 lb above the mark he last tasted success from over this C&D. Return Fire was successful over 3m here 12 days ago and needs considering. Flash du Pistolet is another who has wins in him in this sphere judged on an encouraging reappearance display at Kelso last month.
