11/1

Successful twice so far including in a handicap chase over an extended 2m3f at Ffos Las (good) in June. Fair efforts since and forecast ground should suit today.

Double Treasure^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 128

7/1

Chasing a hat-trick following victories at Chepstow (good) and Newton Abbot (good). Most recent of those came off a 9lb lower mark and he stays well having won over 2m5f last time.

Form: 6/611PF-

Going For Broke^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonathan Moore⁽³⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 127| CD

Form: 50-51U1

Private Malone^p¹⁸⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 125| CD

9/2

Winner of his first three starts for this yard during the 2014/15 season but lightly raced since. Finished third off a 1lb higher mark over an extended 2m6f at Newbury (good-to-soft) last time but likely more needed if he's to take this.

Form: 25/57P3-

Call To Order¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 125

7/2

Well held in two starts since winning a handicap hurdle over 3m at Cheltenham (good) in December. Interesting to see how he fares on handicap debut on just his second attempt over fences.

Form: 63315-2

Red Devil Star^t¹⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 122

12/1

Fair efforts so far in 2017 including when runner-up at Newbury (soft) over an extended 2m in March. Races off a mark 2lb higher than for his latest success.

Form: 31U254-

Roll The Dough³²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 117| CD

4/1

Winner of a point-to-point and two hurdle races in 2015. Both starts last year came over fences and he has plenty to prove following heavy defeats on each occasion.

Form: 2111/45-

Mr Medic¹⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: James Best| T: R Walford| OR: 112| BF| D

10/1

Chasing a hat-trick when falling over 2m2f at Taunton (good) in March. Held when coming down on that occasion but receives weight from all his rivals today and is worth a check in the market.

Form: 6P6/11U-

Non-Runners

Play The Ace²⁰

Weight: 11-2| Age: 8

T: P & M Bowen J: S Bowen

Forecasts

Call To Order (7/2), Roll The Dough (4/1), Play The Ace (4/1), Private Malone (9/2), Double Treasure (7/1), Going For Broke (8/1), Mr Medic (10/1), Marquis Of Carabas (11/1), Red Devil Star (12/1), Fear Glic (40/1)

GOING FOR BROKE is unbeaten in his completed starts over fences and he can register a third victory by taking this competitive contest. Good ground forecast today should suit Rebecca Curtis' charge and he can follow up a recent C&D victory at the chief expense of Mr Medic who receives weight from all of his rivals today while Play The Ace can claim third having scored at Stratford last time.
