Registered back to back wins in November 2015 but has drawn a blank since. On a winning mark now after some disastrous runs but drops in to a class four handicap chase where has three wins and two seconds from six races.
Winner of four races in 2016 including two over C&D. Not disgraced here on return from a break in May and looks set to give another honest account, despite others looking potentially better treated. Stable landed the 2:40 here on Wednesday.
Made all to landed a novice chase at Catterick in January when making all. Highly tried since and his mark has tumbled in the meantime. Outpaced over 2m in higher grade last time and promises to be more of a factor on this occasion.
Scored over 3m here a year ago and shaped well in better company over C&D in September. Engaged Perth 4:10 Wednesday.
Picked up from Nicky Henderson for ÂŁ20,000 after winning a couple of races. Has generally proved expensive to follow and did not look a natural over fences during the Spring.
Winner last August for Charlie Longsdon but has proved less effective for new yard. Backed as though more was expected last time and looks held by Amilliontimes judged on that effort.
Winner of a minor race in the French provinces. Off the course since August 2016 and market will guide how much he will need the run. Trip and ground look fine.
Was just making a promising move when coming down at Punchestown in May. Made to look one paced at Downpatrick two weeks ago and a 1-38 record may tell you all you need to know. Stable took this last year and rider is 33-126 for them at this venue.
Hit a purple patch last season with five consecutive wins including one over C&D. Has lost his way since the handicapper has taken control and he makes little appeal at present.
Regressive when last seen out in November and handicap mark was falling quickly. No great record after a break either and a lot to prove now.
Scored off a 5lb higher mark in October but form has been patchy since. Feared more for the quality of trainer rather than his recent achievements.
Dual C&D winner who took advantage of a career low mark in a weak race to score in May. Has more on his plate off his revised mark.
Forecasts
Tangolan (7/2), Urtheoneiwant (4/1), Amilliontimes (6/1), Cooper's Friend (13/2), So Satisfied (9/1), Aminabad (10/1), Indian Voyage (16/1), Sergeant Pink (16/1), Argentix (22/1), Clondaw Banker (25/1), Formidableopponent (33/1), Gleann Na Ndochais (33/1)
Urtheoneiwant and So Satisfied are feared on account of their connections but neither make any appeal on current form. Tangolan would be interesting if turning out having been entered here on Wednesday. He goes well around here and is looking more feasibly treated. Amilliontimes is another that likes it here and arrives following an encouraging return to action in May. Aminabad has dropped down the weights to an attractive mark but it is hard to know whether his latest effort can be trusted having got himself detached before running on late. INDIAN VOYAGE has been out of sorts lately but he has been campaigning against tougher opposition than this. He is now below his last winning mark and drops to a Class Four chase - a grade in which he has three wins in six starts.
- Indian Voyage
- Amilliontimes
