4/1
Last win was almost four years ago. Made a belated chase debut six weeks ago. The form has given mixed signals since but he should build on that effort. Track will suit and yard are going well.

11/2
Winner of two races over hurdles but his jumping has let him down over fences. Handicap mark has fallen 13lb since last year and once getting his act together he will easily find a race of this nature. Stable have been quiet of late.

Best hurdling efforts came here including a 15L victory a year ago. Has failed to take to chasing so far but this looks easier and blinkers now replace cheekpieces.

9/1
Showed a useful level of form over hurdles two years ago suggesting he could exploit his current mark. Gets his easiest task to date over fences so it would be no surprise to see a more prominent display.

5/2
Showed ability over hurdles and looked destined to win races over fences judged on his Ffos Las run in December. He has not jumped as well on his next two starts around here. Champion jockey now takes the reins and he has a good record for the yard.

4/1
Winning pointer who ran well here on his chasing debut in January (Bramble Brook 15L behind). Tighter track and shorter trip may have counted against him last time so one to consider with conditions to suit.

Forecasts

Bramble Brook (5/2), Lower Hope Dandy (4/1), Quinto (4/1), Say My Name (5/1), Flashjack (11/2), Ugolin De Beaumont (9/1)

Verdict

LOWER HOPE DANDY acquitted himself well on his chasing debut and with his yard going well he could be the answer in a tricky contest. Bramble Brook needs to put two disappointing efforts behind him and may do that now. A market move for him would make him interesting in light of the jockey booking. Quinto runs this track well and the weight he receives makes him a threat in the testing conditions.
  1. Lower Hope Dandy
  2. Bramble Brook
  3. Quinto
