Horse silk
Blandfords Gunner44
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-13| J: James Nixon(7)| T: H Whittington| OR:  126
7/2
Failed to place on seasonal comeback/yard debut last time out but drop in trip should help and he's likely to score off this kind of mark at some stage.
2
Horse silk
Mister Spingsprong17
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Cook| T: B Ellison| OR:  125
13/8
Certainly looks on a workable mark but his effort was littered with jumping errors last time out. Needs to prove that was merely a blip here today.
3
Horse silk
Herons Heirt28
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR:  121
13/2
Seems to enjoy faster ground and provided there isn't a deluge he may get that here. Forced back down the hurdles route last year due to jumping errors so needs to prove he can put a clean round in here.

Horse silk
Trust Thomas25
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Hamilton(3)| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR:  120
28/1
Consistent type and usually gives his running. Never won off a mark this high but jumps a fence well enough which is more than can be said for some of his rivals and this small field will suit him.
5
Horse silk
Boss Des Mottese/s142
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Tony Kelly| T: H Hogarth| OR:  117
9/1
Inconsistent type who's hard to catch right. Won a chase for Dan Skelton last year but unplaced on four starts for this yard.

Horse silk
Lightening Rod27
Age: 12|  Weight: 10-13| J: B S Hughes| T: M & D Easterby| OR:  112
4/1
Becoming particularly well-handicapped but age may be starting to get the better of him and he needs to prove he's still in love with the game.
7
Horse silk
Roxyfet19
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-7| J: Finian O'Toole(5)| T: Micky Hammond| OR:  106
16/1
In good form last year (won four times) but hasn't really fired this season. Below his last winning mark now at least but still probably best watched for now.

Forecasts

Mister Spingsprong (13/8), Blandfords Gunner (7/2), Lightening Rod (4/1), Herons Heir (13/2), Boss Des Mottes (9/1), Roxyfet (16/1), Trust Thomas (28/1)

Verdict

TRUST THOMAS hasn't been in his best form of late but his jumping accuracy and his consistency, might give him an edge over this field. Mister Spingsprong looks well handicapped but needs to put a disappointing run behind him and the drop in trip should help Blandford's Gunner who was well-backed last time out. 1. Trust Thomas 2. Mister Spingsprong 3. Blandfords Gunner
