8/1
Formerly a smart young chaser when with Paul Nicholls, but has been in recession and changing hands recently. If able to reproduce his Taunton run from 14 months ago off this mark he would look well in, but it's a big if.

12/1
Won by a neck but front pair 8L clear when scoring over C&D last time. Upped in class here after a 9lb rise and the third that day hasn't done wonders for the form since, so could be one to take on again today.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-9| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR:  125
10/1
5lb higher than when winning over C&D (soft) in December but well beaten from slightly higher marks than this twice since and yet to win from a mark higher than 120.

Ballycullap33
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-9| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| OR:  125
8/1
Won a handicap chase off 132 last season so looks well in on that evidence, though has lost form this year and could not get involved from 127 when switched back to hurdles last time. 2lb drop will help but hard to back with confidence at present.

Another Frontierv129
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Bargary(3)| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR:  124
7/1
7lb higher than when scoring at Taunton last month and well beaten from today's mark last time. Visor added this afternoon and while not ruled out, he needs to improve to be winning this.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: Michael Heard(5)| T: D Pipe| OR:  124
25/1
Out of sorts since claiming a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (2m7½f, heavy) last April from 6lb lower. Hard to fancy on recent evidence.

Horse silk
Cadoudoff27
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Jordan Nailor(7)| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  122
8/1
Comes into this on a 4lb lower mark than his last win 14 months ago and has run well on each of his last two starts from similar marks to today. Should be thereabouts.

Awaywiththegreysb40
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR:  121
11/1
Has slipped down in the weights after being out of form in all but one start for well over a year now. Wants bottomless ground to be seen to best effect and unlikely to get that here, so looks best watched for today.

Horse silk
Late Shipmentp19
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: Robert Williams(3)| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR:  121
12/1
Arrives here in really good form after three wins from four starts since the turn of the year and a rise of 36lb as a result. All of those success have been at right-handed Hereford. 11lb rise for latest 7L win looks tough enough to defy but goes on any ground and very much respected.

Tambura28
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Zac Baker(7)| T: G C Maundrell| OR:  121
16/1
Back on the same mark as her last win, at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) in November and although out of form on her last two starts, you couldn't confidently rule her out with the cards back in her favour, although seems to prefer that Sussex track to anywhere else.

Samingarry8
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-4| J: Mr L Drowne(7)| T: N J Hawke| OR:  120
7/1
Connections tried to exploit this hurdles mark, which is significantly lower than his chase mark, at Haydock last week and came very close to doing so. That was better than his recent efforts, so he should again be able to make an impact from the same pitch today.

Say My Nameb23
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Houlihan(7)| T: R H Buckler| OR:  118
14/1
Dropped 10lb since his last hurdle run in November and still 3lb higher than his last success in this discipline. Not easy to enthuse about his chance.

Doctor Look Here40
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-5| J: Lucy Gardner(3)| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR:  107
9/1
1-15 career profile but remains 2lb higher than the sole Taunton success from last season (2m3f, good to soft) and hard to make a strong case for him again today.

Forecasts

Rocky's Treasure (5/1), Two Swallows (11/2), Samingarry (7/1), Another Frontier (7/1), Easter Day (8/1), Ballyculla (8/1), Cadoudoff (8/1), Doctor Look Here (9/1), Saint John Henry (10/1), Awaywiththegreys (11/1), Late Shipment (12/1), Catching On (12/1), Say My Name (14/1), Tambura (16/1), Ballywilliam (25/1)

Verdict

Catching On will probably be popular after his win here last time, but he looks vulnerable today and preference is for ROCKY'S TREASURE, who took well to handicapping last time and looks to have the improvement within to follow-up. Late Shipment is much respected after making great strides lately, though the percentage call is to take him on today, while Cadoudoff and Samingarry are other contenders for the prizes.
  1. Rocky's Treasure
  2. Late Shipment
  3. Cadoudoff
