7/2
Seeking to win this race for the third year running, has been given a handy breather but was a bit below form when last seen. No doubt he has been primed for this contest and no surprise if he goes close.

Pulled up at Kelso 11 days ago on chase debut having lost his action, perhaps worth giving that effort and drawing a blank canvas over fences.

Well beaten off here over shorter trip recently on stable debut, that was also first start over fences and there is plenty room for improvement.

Gets cheekpieces added today but has been well below best since returning from year off, including around this venue early in the month over a shorter trip.

11/4
Stepping back up in trip should be a positive here and while he disappointed at Hexham latest, won at the track off this mark in December and isn't out of the reckoning.

Went agonisingly close off a 2lb higher mark at this venue last March over today's trip, mostly been unable to reproduce that effort six runs since and jumping hasn't always convinced.

Well treated on his best efforts, including narrow second to Settledoutofcourt at Hexham on penultimate start, though has since failed to build on that effort at Sedgefield.

Lacked a cutting edge as a hurdler in Ireland similar tale on chasing at this venue recently on first for new connections and in Britain.

Won a conditional handicap chase at Musselburgh last month, since failed to fire at Sedgefield however. Overall profile is patchy and doesn't warrant supporting right now.

Won over C&D three years ago but recent efforts are not convincing, regularly being pulled up in his races and he is bypassed here.

Forecasts

Smuggler's Stash (11/4), Settledoutofcourt (10/3), Basford Ben (7/2), Lakefield Rebel (9/2), Mo Rouge (8/1), Tommy O'dwyer (17/2), La Dama De Hierro (9/1), Oscar Lateen (12/1), Frank The Slink (16/1), Broad Spectrum (16/1), Rory's Valentine (66/1)

Verdict

Basford Ben must be greatly respected in his attempt to win this race for the third year running. He has been allowed a nice break beforehand but it remains a worry that he was out of form when last seen. Smuggler's Stash ought to be suited once again with the emphasis firmly placed on stamina, while Lakefield Rebel would have a chance if repeating his run behind SETTLEDOUTOFCOURT at Hexham last month. The winner made all the running that day and might take some reeling in again if enjoying the run of the race in front here. Mo Rouge has been out of sorts lately but did go close at this track a year ago could be sparked into life with the return.
  1. Settledoutofcourt
  2. Basford Ben
  3. Smuggler's Stash
