4/1
Winner of a maiden event over 2m4f at Uttoxeter in December and beaten 1L when finishing runner-up at Kempton subsequently. Drop in trip didn't seem to suit when well beaten last of four on handicap debut last time and remains of interest upped in trip here.

7/2
Winner over 2m5f at Ludlow in December 2015 but beaten odds-on favourite at Exeter over 2m1f subsequently. Contested a couple of decent handicaps since including when pulled up on seasonal debut in November when last seen in action. Step up in trip looks likely to suit and yard have a 20% strike-rate (9/46) of late.

Sole success came on debut in a Downpatrick bumper in May 2015 when with previous stable. Well beaten in two novice outings for this yard but interesting as he makes his handicap debut here.

10/1
Winner of a maiden point-to-point in October 2015 and ran well when finishing runner-up at Exeter 11 months ago. Other jumps outings less inspiring including twice for this yard. Well beaten on handicap debut at Taunton last time out and a bit to prove at present.

2/1
Winner off a 6lb lower mark at Catterick in November and put a couple of slightly disappointing efforts behind him when finishing runner-up at Carlisle a month ago. Likely to run well once more.

4/1
Hasn't won since justifying odds-on favouritism in a novice event at Towcester in November 2014. Well beaten the last twice including at Fontwell last time out and wears a first time hood in this.

Forecasts

Thyne For Gold (2/1), Scooby (5/2), Rene's Girl (7/2), Like The Sound (4/1), Come On Laurie (4/1), Whipcord (10/1), Ultimate Horseman (16/1), Trackmate (50/1)

Verdict

THYNE FOR GOLD can take this competitive event following a second placed finish at Carlisle last time out. The selection has tasted success already this season having won at Catterick, Uttoxeter and Fakenhamr already and he can add to those victories by getting the better of Come On Laurie who wears a hood for the first time in this and Like The Sound who is of interest upped in trip here.
