Fair form over fences and won at Southwell in October in decent style. Hit hard by the handicapper for that win and struggled off his revised mark since.

Showed some reasonable form as a hurdler and made a decent start to his chasing career at Newbury when finishing fourth. Should prove as least as good over fences as he was over hurdles and could make up into a reasonable handicapper.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Moloney| T: Kerry Lee| OR:  119
11/4
Has some useful form over fences but always looks a very hard ride and needs plenty of driving along. Latest run back from a break was probably needed and extreme distances may well be needed to bring out the best in him.

Won over hurdles when he was with his former trainer. Finished third on his chasing debut at Ffos Las over a trip that looked too short and fell at the second last time in a void race at Wincanton.

9/2
Fair hurdler who has a victory over Ballyrock to his name. His best effort so far over fences came on his second start over them at Exeter but has disappointed since at Uttoxeter where he looked an awkward ride.

8/1
Returned from a break to make his chasing debut in November for a stable which are carrying all before them this season. Despite the PU in the form figures he shaped far better than those letters would suggest and was still to be asked for his effort when making a bad mistake. Pulled-up soon after, spared a hard race but had shown enough aptitude for chasing to expect a better display here on his second start over fences.

Yet to run over fences under Rules this mare was runner-up in all her four completed starts in Irish points. Form under Rules so far has been modest and she would need to make a step forward here to make her mark especially with the yard not in good form at the moment.

Pulled-up on his last two starts the latter of those two outings his chasing debut at Towcester. Never going well on that occasions and best watched here given his last two starts.

Won a small field affair over C&D in November but has disappointed in both his starts since and finished last of three on his latest start.

Forecasts

Krackatoa King (11/4), Bugsie Malone (7/2), Fingerontheswitch (4/1), Albert D'olivate (9/2), Allchilledout (8/1), Ballyrock (10/1), Lady Robyn (10/1), Beer Goggles (12/1), Knight Ofthe Realm (16/1), Phangio (20/1)

Verdict

This looks an open heat with a couple of improvers taking the eye in Allchilledout and BUGSIE MALONE. The former shaped much better than his pulled-up would suggest on his chasing debut and if avoiding any mishaps this time, he should go close.. Bugsie Malone has a slightly better chance on form with his fourth at Newbury reading well in the context of this race. Krackatoa King always looks a hard ride but if this turns into a slog you could not write him off here with Fingerontheswitch worthy of a mention despite under-performing over fences so far. 1. Bugsie Malone 2. Allchilledout 3. Krackatoa King
