King Of Glory⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Charlie Deutsch⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 119

4/1

Consistent back in 2015 and gained a deserved win at Warwick that year when ploughing through the mud to defeat Muckle Roe by five lengths. Solid reappearance after 14 months off when second at Sandown recently, a couple of mistakes possibly costing him victory, Dropped in grade.

Form: 3/4P1-24

Rothman^h,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 116

9/2

Series of consistent efforts but very hard to win with, with just two wins from 18 starts to date, but nothing wrong with his second to the improving Foxtail Hill at Kempton in January, Disappointed on latest start and any more rain would be against him as well.

Form: 132-223

The Italian Yob^b¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: L P Aspell| T: Nick Williams| OR: 115

8/1

Rated much higher than this at his peak, but no win since 2015 and recent efforts have been mixed, his most recent coming at Uttoxeter in January, never travelling with any fluency and looking reluctant at times. May do better for professional handling today. Risky, but a chance.

Form: 352F-57

Wizards Bridge⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 111

2/1

Inconsistent, yet undoubtedly on a good chase mark if he can translate his hurdles form to fences, as he won off a 4lb higher mark at Chepstow last November, However, recent chase starts have as many letters as numbers in them. Not disgraced recently, but needs to jump better.

Form: 7361P6-

Astigos^b²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: James Davies| T: T R Gretton| OR: 109

33/1

Formerly with Venetia Williams, and this will only be his fourth start for new yard. Form has taken a nosedive over the winter though, and not even the addition of a tongue tie last time (removed today) made him do any better, never travelling and pulled up.. Makes little appeal here.

Form: 6-83P6P

The Geegeez Geegee^t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: H Cobden| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 104

3/1

Got off the mark over fences at the fifth attempt at Fontwell last time out, all out at the end to hold off Un Anjou and a 5lb rise is fair. Back up in trip here, which isn't an issue and handles soft ground, so every chance again.

Forecasts

Wizards Bridge (2/1), The Geegeez Geegee (3/1), King Of Glory (4/1), Rothman (9/2), Johns Luck (7/1), The Italian Yob (8/1), Astigos (33/1)

A winnable contest, and despite the big weight it's worth siding with the improving KING OF GLORY, who ran really well to a useful sort at Sandown last week and as long as this doesn't come too soon, he can outclass these. John's Luck continues in good form and can pick up some more prizemoney here, with Thegeegeezgeegee completing the tricast. 1. King Of Glory 2. Johns Luck 3. The Geegeez Geegee
