Celtic Ned29
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| OR:  100
Fair hurdler who shaped as if needing the run sent chasing after 8 months off at Fontwell. Has the physique and pedigree for fences so seems sure to do better. Upped in trip now.

Had been given a big chance by the handicapper (23 lb lower mark than for his chasing debut last autumn) and returned to form reverted to fences when scoring at Plumpton recently, proving a different proposition with regard to both his jumping and finishing effort. Could go well again up 3 lb.

Always Busy39
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-11| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams| OR:  97
Modest handicap hurdler, possibly amiss when well held on reappearance. Goes chasing now and 1 of 2 for the yard.

Cave Article22
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-4| J: H Cobden| T: Christian Williams| OR:  76
Backed as if defeat was out of the question on handicap hurdle debut at Fakenham (20f) on return but disappointed. From a pointing background so interesting to see if the money comes for him again on chase debut now.

Mr Sociableb,t25
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-2| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR:  72
Poor maiden hurdler/chaser but he's given it a good go the last twice, placed again from out of the weights here last time. Could yet find a race.

My Mate Pollyp9
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Kimber| T: W G M Turner| OR:  81
Stepped up considerably when third from 7 lb out of the handicap on chase debut at Exeter (17.5f, good to soft) last month. Ran out when well beaten at Huntingdon since, though. Cheekpieces go back on.

Forecasts

I Shut That D'or (2/1), Cave Article (10/3), Mr Sociable (5/1), Celtic Ned (6/1), Always Busy (10/1), Noah's Light (12/1), Benandgone (16/1), My Mate Polly (20/1), Benville Bridge (25/1)

Verdict

CELTIC NED could do a lot better over fences on the back of his Fontwell return and he gets the vote up in trip. I Shut That d'or did everything right for once when winning well from the front at Plumpton and can go well again if in the same mood up 3 lb. It will be interesting to see if the money comes for Cave Article again now he goes chasing.
