7/2
Has found this Grade to be too tough the last twice, falling once when well beaten and pulling up last time behind O O Seven. This is a weaker race than either of those, but he is entitled to find one or two of these too good once again.

Age: 10|  Weight: 11-4| J: Paul Townend| T: Kerry Lee| OR:  145
15/8
Runner-up over C&D two starts ago before going close in another lower-grade novice chase last time. This rates a big step up for him but he looks an improving type and will love the forecast ground.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR:  144
6/1
Has been on the premises in all three starts over fences so far and just didn't last home in a handicap at Newbury last time. Will need to improve but isn't discounted in what is a relatively weak Grade 2.

Overtown Express28
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-4| J: N D Fehily| T: H Fry| OR:  143
5/2
Got off the mark over fences in impressive style last time over C&D having been in behind some useful types on previous two starts, including leading JLT hope Top Notch. Should go well again here for some top connections.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: D Skelton| OR:  139
10/1
Beaten favourite at odds of 1/6 at Catterick last time. Didn't really settle in that race but doesn't have any other excuses and will need to overcome that disappointing effort today.

Chic Namev28
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Hobson| OR:  128
40/1
Hasn't gotten involved in the finish of any of his three chases and has it all to do at this level.

Forecasts

Gino Trail (15/8), Overtown Express (5/2), Flying Angel (7/2), Knockgraffon (6/1), Two Taffs (10/1), Chic Name (40/1)

Verdict

This is a decidedly weak Grade 2 and as such may not take much winning. Having been consistent over fences so far and being a runner-up over C&D, GINO TRAIL looks the one to be with. He looks to be improving and the soft ground will be a big bonus for a horse who would be conceding weight all round if this were a handicap. Two Taffs' run last time when firmly beaten as a 1/6 favourite was surely too bad to be true, while Knockgraffon has also acquitted himself well over fences so far. 1. Gino Trail 2. Two Taffs 3. Knockgraffon
