Ascension Day^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Harrison Beswick| T: S Lycett| OR: 100

10/1

Runner-up 3 times on the bounce over hurdles in the first half of this year. Might have needed the outing when below par back from 7 weeks off at Southwell on penultimate outing but was beaten a long way out on chasing debut at Hereford since.

Form: 2-22456

Shuil Ceoil^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 94

2/1

Fair winner at 22f over hurdles who left previous efforts over fences behind when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Taunton on penultimate outing. Jumping let him down at Wincanton last time but there's a feeling that he still has more to offer in this sphere.

Form: 44P555

Abaya Du Mathan^p,t²

Age: 13| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 93| D

5/1

Veteran who capitalised on some mercy from the assessor when winning 7-runner Southwell handicap in December. Failed to back it up at Warwick and has only been off a couple of days.

Form: 544156

Extraordinary Man^p,h³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 91| D

4/1

One win from 21 NH runs. Respectable 7½ lengths second of 7 to Abaya Du Mathan in handicap chase (13/2) at Southwell (15.8f, soft) 30 days ago. Hood back on. Probably the one to beat in a very thin race.

Form: 122P-42

Ben Buie^b³⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 91| D

12/1

Unreliable sort who arrives on the back of a tame display and needs the refitting of blinkers to perk him up.

Form: P8F63P

J'habite En France^b,t²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 79

10/3

Regressive over hurdles and yet to offer much over fences. Doesn't make much appeal.

Form: 40-PP65

Fast Deal⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: M C Chapman| OR: 72

40/1

Struggling for form and out of the weights, so hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Shuil Ceoil (2/1), J'habite En France (10/3), Extraordinary Man (4/1), Abaya Du Mathan (5/1), Brother Boris (11/2), Ascension Day (10/1), Ben Buie (12/1), Fast Deal (40/1)

EXTRAORDINARY MAN is the only one who arrives on the back of a solid effort and he's probably the one to side with in a poor affair. Shuil Ceoil likely has more to offer as a chaser and he's worthy of interest, while Abaya du Mathan isn't without hope if he takes his chance on the back of a quick turnaround.
