Has shown much better form since he was equipped with a hood/tongue-tie combination. Had a neck to spare last time with the third (Theatre Act) a further 9L behind. The longer trip should see him to even better effect judged by his previous run at Towcester. Trainer 6-14 here and has had five winners in the past fortnight.
Sent off favourite when readily outpointed behind Lord Ballim last time. Hard to see why she should turn the tables this time.
Came to hand at this point last season. Would appreciate a longer trip and handicapper appears to have his measure. Still worth a check in the market.
Winner of a couple of races last autumn but has been struggling off this mark since. Hard to fancy returning from a break.
Form looks patchy and although the track and trip look fine, there is no telling whether he will produce one of his better runs. Finished tired when last of three here on his most recent start. Stable took this last year.
Has 39L to find with Theatre Act based on his last run when sent off at 66/1 on handicap debut in November. Off the track since and has to have found an awful lot in the intervening period.
Has not adapted to chasing of late and reverts to hurdles off an 10lb lower mark than his last run in this sphere. Visored for the first time and no forlorn hope with stable in form.
Has made little impact of late over distances ranging from 2m-3m2f. Handicap mark continues to drop but is yet to find a level that will allow him to compete. Jumping needs to improve considerably.
Lightly raced gelding who has shown nothing in two starts back from an absence of almost three years. Has a lot to do from 5lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts
Lord Ballim (5/2), Theatre Act (4/1), Spoils Of War (9/2), Wazowski (15/2), Brackenmoss Rory (8/1), Lowcarr Motion (11/1), Age Of Glory (16/1), Monbeg Cave (18/1), Fred Le Macon (22/1), Firth Of Bavard (25/1)
LORD BALLIM is the clear form pick based on his success here last time. That followed a strong finish over this longer trip at Towcester and there is no reason to expect his rate of progress to be halted in a race lacking depth. Theatre Act and Age of Glory were second and seventh respectively that day. Of the pair Age of Glory has the most potential to find the extra that is needed. That run was only his third back from an absence and was his second in a twelve day period. That may have come too soon and a subsequent six week break, plus another drop in the weights, will make him more competitive this time. Lowcarr Motion struck form last spring and he is one to gauge in the market.
- Lord Ballim
- Age Of Glory
