6/1
Very consistent type but the handicapper appears to have caught up with him somewhat and he's up another 2lb for latest defeat. Has performed okay in softer conditions but would probably want better ground.

11/8
Bounced back to form last time out at Ascot finishing fourth of 15. Can make a mistake at his fences and probably prefers a slower pace. May get that here with the forecast ground and he's performed well on heavy ground twice in his career winning back-to-back races at the start of last year. Still low-mileage and worthy of plenty of respect.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-8| J: T Dowling(7)| T: Henry Oliver| OR:  128
8/1
Has progressed into a nice chaser but been a little below form of late. Still 2lb above his last winning mark and he's more exposed than some of these.

Age: 10|  Weight: 11-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR:  126
9/1
Inconsistent type who's well above his last winning mark and likely in need of a break from the assessor.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: L P Aspell| T: L Wadham| OR:  124
7/2
Hit form recently back over the smaller obstacles lately but needs to prove he's as good over fences. Dangerous if he's allowed an early lead.

10/1
Second preference (Engaged at Wetherby 14:15 Sat). All recent success on faster ground and 0-5 over fences so others preferred.

Forecasts

Overtown Express (11/8), Artifice Sivola (7/2), Ut Majeur Aulmes (6/1), Keel Haul (8/1), Going Concern (9/1), Makethedifference (10/1)

Verdict

OVERTOWN EXPRESS is still low mileage and proven in the forecast conditions so he's taken to score over Artifice Sivola who goes in search on a four-timer. He could be dangerous if he's allowed to dominate from the front in this field. Ut Majeur Aulmes' progress seems to have stalled a little and would probably prefer better ground; consistent type at least. 1. Overtown Express 2. Artifice Sivola 3. Ut Majeur Aulmes
