Useful horse in Ireland a couple of years ago but handicap mark has been falling in recent years and well beaten in France on good ground last time. Debuts for a new yard here.
Winner at Newton Abbot (good-to-firm) over 2m5f in April but well held at Kempton subsequently and interesting off a mark just 1lb higher than for that latest success.
Finished runner-up in first time cheekpieces in a 2m5f novice handicap hurdle at Ludlow (good) in April. Ran well in a novice handicap chase on fencing debut at Huntingdon (good) over an extended 2m7f last time and drops in trip today.
Point-to-point winner over 2m4f at Ystradowen (soft) in March prior to finishing well beaten in a hunter chase. Ran well to finish second on return to rules and on debut for this yard last time and interesting back up in trip today.
Beaten a short-head over 2m4f in a novice chase at Ludlow (good-to-soft) in January. Pulled up the last twice however and others make more appeal in this.
Neck winner over an extended 2m4f at Southwell (good) over fences last month. Well held off this 4lb higher mark subsequently and will need to bounce back to take this.
Winner of six races to date including off a 7lb higher mark over 2m4f at Ludlow (good-to-soft) in November 2015. Well beaten in two starts in 2017 and best watched in a first time tongue tie.
Had just four starts since winning over fences at Southwell in October 2014. Making his debut for this yard when beaten 41L here over an extended 2m on good ground in September last year and others make more appeal.
Maiden after 12 starts including when beaten 8L having been sent off favourite at Southwell over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (good) earlier this month. Races off a 2lb lower mark here.
Successful in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f here on good ground last month. well beaten off his revised hurdles mark since and interesting off the same mark he won off on that occasion returned to fences here.
Finished 12L second over 2m7f in a handicap hurdle on good ground here last month. Respectable effort over the same C&D when fourth earlier this month and making just his second start over fences in this.
Pulled up in three of his last four starts including in first time cheekpieces last December. Wears blinkers for the first time today but others look to hold a more obvious chance.
Yet to win in 35 outings under rules and pulled up in hunter chases the last twice. More needed if he's to take this.
Best recent effort came when finishing fourth over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (good) ten days ago. Likely to appreciate ground conditions here but races from out of the handicap.
Forecasts
It's Oscar (4/1), Code Of Law (9/2), Dragon De La Tour (6/1), Murray Mount (9/1), Culm Counsellor (9/1), Zama Zama (10/1), Moorlands Jack (11/1), King Of Milan (14/1), Romeo Is Bleeding (16/1), Aces Over Eights (18/1), Nearest The Pin (25/1), Gwili Spar (25/1), Dr Anubis (25/1), Table Bluff (33/1)
Point-to-point winner ROMEO IS BLEEDING ran well on his return to handicap company when finishing runner-up off a 5lb lower mark over an extended 2m here last time and he is taken to register his first victory under rules in this contest. Dragon De La Tour ran well when finishing third off this mark at Huntingdon last time and is taken to finish third dropping back in trip while It's Oscar can claim third off the same mark that saw him win over hurdles on his penultimate outing.
