5/2
Landed a couple of C&D chases before meeting his match off this mark last time. Was not too far off his best form that day and the return to this track will help. The opposition lacks depth and it is easy to see him being in the thick of things.

Ran an in form rival close over C&D last time having been in good shape in the point-to-point field during the Spring. Would not want the ground to get too soft and definitely has to enter calculations.

Winner here over hurdles and arrives on the back of a good effort at Worcester where he shaped as though he would stay further. Blinkers added and stable have a good record here.

10/1
Both runs back from an absence have been poor but back to a more suitable trip. Good claims on the form he was showing around here 12 months ago, but hard to say he can run close to that level at present.

Winner in France and has some fair point-to-point form. Behind Patricktom Boru last time and has work to do in order to reverse the form..

Forecasts

A Tail Of Intrigue (2/1), Calin Du Brizais (5/2), Patricktom Boru (11/4), Dawnieriver (5/1), Beuvron (6/1), Royals And Rebels (8/1), Strumble Head (10/1)

Verdict

A Tail Of Intrigue represents a yard to be feared around here but his form has always made him appear lacking in gears . This longer trip will help but he may be vulnerable to a pacier type such as PATRICKTOM BORU. Evan Williams' charge had been going well in point-to-points prior to excellent runs here and at Stratford. He looks potentially better handicapped than Calin Du Brizais who was comfortably held off this mark last time, but who will appreciate a return to this course and distance.
  1. Patricktom Boru
  2. Calin Du Brizais
