Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: N D Fehily| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107

10/1

Good effort in first handicap last month, goes up 3lbs for clear second at Bangor and could have more to offer.

Form: 096-520

Bladoun²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: H Cobden⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 106

20/1

Well held over two-miles here last month, drops a 1lb for that and goes up in trip but not one to rely on currently.

Form: 514-275

Opechee¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jake Hodson⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 105

33/1

Possibly given too much to do when narrow second at Leicester last month, made pleasing late progress however and interesting now upped in trip.

Form: 0P6-352

Petite Power^t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 105

5/4

Justified support to score well at Bangor over hurdles last week and races off the same mark now for chase debut.

Form: 1216F4

Indian Rupee^h⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: James Banks| T: D L Williams| OR: 102

66/1

Doesn't appear the most progressive sort, handicap debut over C&D last month uninspiring and doubts over his jumping.

Form: 2P339P-

Remember Forever⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: A Glassonbury| T: R Rowe| OR: 90

4/1

C&D winner on heavy ground in November, not in the same form upped in trip at Fontwell but given a chance now back here at this trip.

Forecasts

Petite Power (5/4), Top And Drop (4/1), Remember Forever (4/1), On The Road (9/2), Better Days (10/1), Coole Charmer (10/1), Bladoun (20/1), Forrest Blue (25/1), Spartilla (25/1), Opechee (33/1), Laflammedeglorie (66/1), Indian Rupee (66/1)

Petite Power was an easy winner over hurdles on stable debut last week and races off the same mark now for chase bow. A chance here is given to OPECHEE however, he came from some way back to finish with a wet sail at Leicester over two-miles last month and is interesting now upped in trip. Better Days scored here last month and can put a poor run since behind him while On The Road has taken well to this game and should open his account soon. Top And Drop has been doing well over hurdles ahead of this first chase start. 1. Opechee 2. Petite Power 3. On The Road
