Conteur d'Histoiret19
Age: 5|  Weight: 12-3| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR:  112
7/1
Keen-going sort and still a maiden after nine starts. Switch to chases and drop back in trip should see him in a better light.
2
Horse silk
Heroes Or Ghosts85
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: J McGrath| T: Miss J S Davis| OR:  107
15/8
Still a maiden under rules but certainly looks capable of taking a race of this nature and likely to bounce back from a poor run last time. Leading claims.
3
Horse silk
Definitly Greyt16
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-10| J: Aidan Coleman| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  105
6/1
One win from 10 starts under rules and switch to chasing not sure to suit. Positive jockey booking and well suited by good ground so not ruled out.
4
Horse silk
Straits Of Messina57
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-5| J: Benjamin Poste(3)| T: T Symonds| OR:  100
10/1
Hit a good run of form before missing the whole of last season. Came back with a couple of fair efforts but shown nothing in his two most recent starts.
5
Horse silk
Between The Waters24
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Jamie Snowden| OR:  99
9/2
Didn't jump well enough to make an impression on his chasing debut at Leicester in December and jumped poorly in the main on three subsequent starts. Very tough to fancy in current form.
6
Horse silk
Charlie Monp19
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Hammond(7)| T: Mike Hammond| OR:  94
4/1
Still a maiden after 17 runs under rules and hardly looks a straight-forward sort. Should land a race of this nature at some stage though and he's placed on several starts so may be able to gain some prize money once again.
7
Horse silk
Blazing Glen16
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: A E Jessop| OR:  83
20/1
Still a maiden after 11 starts under rules and comprehensively beaten or pulled-up on nearly all of them. Worse over fences than he is over hurdles and hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Heroes Or Ghosts (15/8), Charlie Mon (4/1), Between The Waters (9/2), Definitly Grey (6/1), Conteur d'Histoire (7/1), Straits Of Messina (10/1), Blazing Glen (20/1)

Verdict

A moderate contest that may see HEROES OR GHOSTS shed his maiden tag if he's no worse for his disappointing effort last time. Conteur d'Histoire may enjoy the switch to fences while Charlie Mon is more consistent than most.
  1. Heroes Or Ghosts
  2. Conteur d'Histoire
  3. Charlie Mon
