Royal Plazah,t53
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR:  125
11/2
Winner off an 8lb lower mark at Warwick in December but well held subsequently. Arguably better effort than the bare result suggests last time out and chances with a top jockey booked to ride.

Seymour Star42
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-12| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: A Ralph| OR:  125
8/1
Winner of a maiden hurdle here last time out. Only previous start in a handicap resulted in a heavy defeat off a over this C&D off a 17lb lower mark and remains to be seen how he fares back in handicap company.

Aliandy25
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-8| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR:  121
2/1
Winner at Southwell in November and runner-up the last twice including at Taunton a month ago. Has been put up 2lb for that latest second placed finish but interesting with yard going well at present (6/23 in recent weeks).
4
Horse silk
Mixchievous13
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch(3)| T: Miss V Williams| OR:  111
7/2
Remains a maiden after nine starts but placed in handicaps the last twice including off this mark at Sandown two weeks ago. Yard has a 23% strike rate (7/31) in recent weeks and an interesting runner.
5
Horse silk
Baron Du Plessis60
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-6| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Ian Williams| OR:  105
11/4
Runner-up over this trip in a handicap at Warwick in December but well held off this mark when sent off favourite subsequently. Has his first run in two months here.

Forecasts

Aliandy (2/1), Baron Du Plessis (11/4), Mixchievous (7/2), Royal Plaza (11/2), Seymour Star (8/1)

Verdict

Top weight ROYAL PLAZA is taken to put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by taking this competitive small field event. The selection was an impressive winner at Warwick in November and can get the better of Aliandy who hails from an in form yard here while Mixchievous is another who's yards horses are running well at present. 1. Royal Plaza 2. Aliandy 3. Mixchievous
