Selected odds by:
Fair bumper winner who reached a similar level over hurdles, making a winning return in a Uttoxeter maiden (15.8f) in October. However, pulled up next 2 starts and low-key effort starting out over fences here (17f) 19 days ago. Has something to prove now upped in trip.
|
Fairly useful hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott last winter. Yet to scale same heights for present stable, albeit possibly in need of the run after 3 months off when fourth in 6-runner handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f) 11 days ago. Not one to write off. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
|
Veteran course winner who capitalised on reduced mark to open his account for the season in handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f) in January, leading before last and winning readily. 5 lb higher makes things tougher but possibilities nevertheless.
|
Ended last term out of sorts for Nicky Henderson and no upturn for a yard switch this season, readily put in his place by front pair when third of 4 in handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f) in January. Has it to prove. Cheekpieces replace the hood worn on last 2 starts.
|
Fair jumper in France (chase winner over 19f in 2022) who showed nothing sole Flat start for Scott Dixon 13 months ago. Returns to this discipline starting out for new yard and it will be interesting what the market makes of him.
|
Hurdles winner for Margaret Mullins who enhanced his run of placed efforts at Huntingdon when runner-up over extended 19f there 17 days ago. Fact he hasn't proved as effective away from that venue is a concern but he evidently arrives in good heart.
|
Hurdles winner who showed fair form without success over fences last winter (best efforts on soft/heavy) and she appeared unsuited by the nature of the test after a year off when last of 4 in mares' handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f) 6 weeks ago.
|
Won 3 claiming chases in France. Yet to scale same heights for new yard but shaped as if this step back up in trip would help when fifth behind re-opposing Siam Park in handicap chase at Taunton (2m) 19 days ago. Handicapper has eased his grip further.
|
Free-going sort who confirmed promise of his chase debut second when opening his account in 8-runner Taunton handicap (2m) 19 days ago, that despite facing competition for the lead throughout. Appeals as the type to do better still and shortlisted up 5 lb.

Forecasts
Siam Park (13/8), Tactical Affair (4/1), Kayce Dutton (9/2), Jaipaletemps (10/1), Inspiratrice (10/1), Mortens Leam (12/1), Intrepide Sud (12/1), Russian Ruler (25/1), Red Circle (40/1)
SIAM PARK confirmed the promise of his chase debut effort when opening his account over shorter at Taunton (2m) 19 days ago and, appealing as the type to do better still, he looks to hold sound claims again returned to this longer trip. Veteran Mortens Leam and Tactical Affair are others to consider, with Kayce Dutton another contender if proving as effective away from Huntingdon.
