10/1
Absent since 17L win at Sedgfield (good-to-firm) over 2m5f in September 2015. Has won over further in the past and worth a check in the market off a 3lb higher mark here.

8/1
Finished runner-up over 2m5f at Sedgefield (good) in April but pulled up at the same course subsequently. Won off a 1lb higher mark in the past and interesting if putting that poor effort behind him.

8/11
Winner over a 3m handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (good) in April. Beaten 32L into third over the same trip at Aintree subsequently and returns to fences (0/7) here off a mark 6lb lower than for that Cheltenham victory.

11/2
C&D winner who finished runner-up in a prestigious point-to-point at Chaddesley Corbett (good) over 3m2f in April. Unseated his rider early on over an extended 2m4f here on his return to rules last month and remains of interest in this.

5/1
Finished a well beaten fourth on his last three outings including over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow (good) two months ago. Races off a 3lb lower mark today though others make more appeal in this.

Forecasts

Iora Glas (8/11), Charlie Mon (7/2), Paddy The Oscar (5/1), What A Laugh (11/2), Oscar O'scar (8/1), Welsh Bard (10/1)

Verdict

WHAT A LAUGH was an early casualty on his return to rules race last month but his recent point-to-point form reads well and he is the selection to register a fourth success over regulation fences a second here. Iora Glass returns to fences here having been running well over hurdles recently and can claim second in this while the penalised Charlie Mon can claim third.
