11/4
Taken to chasing well with two wins and a second place from her four chase starts to date. Handles soft well but has an 11lb rise in the weights to overcome.

Buttercup25
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: L Treadwell| T: Miss V Williams| OR:  110
5/4
Still a maiden after 15 starts but was still in with a chance when falling two out on latest start. Trainer has plenty of winners at the track.

Horse silk
Kentford Myth24
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-13| J: Daniel Sansom(10)| T: J W Mullins| OR:  107
5/1
Has won twice at the track from five previous starts but was lucky to make a winning chase debut over C&D last time out when being left in lead three out when looking well held at the time.
4
Horse silk
Black Narcissus23
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR:  104
10/1
Rattled off a hat-trick of wins last season in a six week period but hasn't shown all that much in four starts since. Glimmers of a return to form last time out and the drop in trip is a positive for her.
5
Horse silk
Unifyt4
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-10| J: Mr W Gordon(7)| T: A J Honeyball| OR:  104
9/1
Has won four of her nine chase starts to date and takes a step back down in grade here after being well beaten at listed level last time out. Most wins have come on quicker ground than this so others may be better suited to conditions.
6

Mrsrobinp52
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-0| J: James Banks| T: F Brennan| OR:  94
16/1
One win from 18 starts in her career to date and although she was impressive when winning at Newton Abbot in August she has failed to build on that in five runs since.

Forecasts

Buttercup (5/4), Twenty Eight Guns (11/4), Kentford Myth (5/1), Unify (9/1), Black Narcissus (10/1), Mrsrobin (16/1)

Verdict

This looks a good opening for BUTTERCUP to make up for her fall two out Bangor last time. The form of that race has already started to work out well and Venetia Williams will have her ready for this task. Unify should be more competitive dropping back in grade and the in-form Twenty Eight Guns can continue her recent form by running well here. 1. Buttercup 2. Unify 3. Twenty Eight Guns
