Successful at Uttoxeter off a 10lb lower mark in May 2016 but disappointing in three outings since returning from a seven month absence. Better ground forecast here looks likely to suit but probably best watched today.
Winner of his last two outings over fences including at Ffos Las over 3m earlier this month. Carries a penalty for that most recent success today but every chance of him notching up the hat-trick with a tongue tie (worn for his success at Huntingdon last month) re-applied here.
Point-to-point winner and finished runner-up on debut for this stable in a bumper in November 2014. Well beaten in a novice hurdle over an extended 2m3f at Hereford last time out on first run for over 1 5 months last time out. Market support would be notable on chasing debut.
Placed at Carlisle in a novice hurdle in first time tongue tie and cheekpieces last October. Well beaten twice since however but worth noting on predicted good ground on handicap and chase debut.
Placed in three of his last four outings including when 12L runner-up on firm ground at Leicester in December. Returns from a break here and going in search of his first victory at the 16th attempt today.
Placed twice from nine outings under rules. Started short prices for two of his last three outings including when 34L fifth at Fontwell last time out. Represents top connections here but has a bit to prove at present.
Successful over C&D on good ground in a four runner contest in November. Made all on that occasion but well beaten when different tactics employed the last twice. Interesting contender returning to better ground and off an 8lb lower mark than for that C&D success.
Victorious at Wincanton over an extended 3m2f when sent off favourite last month. Had previously finished a close third over 3m and likely to put up another good show here off his revised 9lb higher mark.
Registered a double over hurdles back in November prior to suffering a heavy defeat at Taunton on good-to-firm ground over 3m the following month. Returning from over four months off and making his chasing debut today.
Maiden after nine starts and lightly raced in recent years. Finished third of ten in a handicap hurdle here over 2m in November for previous stable. Pulled up on chasing debut and first outing for this stable at Plumpton last month.
Forecasts
Rocknrollrambo (7/4), How's Vienna (5/2), Sweettoothtommy (8/1), Phangio (9/1), Corner Creek (11/1), Charlie Mon (16/1), Buffalo Sabre (16/1), Bertie Lugg (20/1), Katarrhini (20/1), Culm Counsellor (33/1)
ROCKNROLLRAMBO can complete his hat-trick under a penalty in this competitive looking novices handicap chase. The selection won on good ground at Ffos Las time out and can take this at the chief expense of How's Vienna who won over 3m2f when last seen in action and was a non-runner at Stratford over the weekend. Phangio is a C&D winner in the past and can claim third on what is likely to be the quickest ground he's raced on so far in 2017.
