Remind Me Later¹¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 120

8/1

The trainer of this one rarely leaves here with a success and this dual hurdles winner has so far shaped well over fences although this will be the biggest field he's encountered. Sure to be in the thick of things off what looks to be a decent mark.

Form: U3/33-22

Wilberdragon^t¹⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 118

5/1

Has matched his hurdles form over fences but is yet to win in this sphere despite some reasonable attempts. This looks to be his ideal trip and of interest if ready to roll on his comeback run from a stable in decent form.

Form: P/93336-

Accord²⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 118

4/1

Got off the mark in maiden Irish point-to-points at the third attempt and although he has yet to score under Rules he does have a couple of reasonable hurdles attempts to his name. Makes his chasing debut here and may well improve in this sphere.

Form: 21/2333-

Free Stone Hill^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 117

8/1

From a yard that have made a bright start to the season and this one has already won a couple of handicaps over hurdles. Ran well enough after those wins but did appear to find marks of 120 plus beyond him. Chase debut here off a workable mark.

Form: 132235

Minella Tweet^t¹¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: P Henderson| OR: 116| BF| C

20/1

Twice a winner already over fences (once here over further) on his stable debut after a year off. Clearly wasn't right when trying for his hat-trick last time over shorter here with a tongue tie on (first-time); capable if bouncing back after that disappointment.

Form: U8/6-114

Lillington^t¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 114

9/2

Yard went 411 with their runners here yesterday and are starting to bloom now. This one makes his chasing debut having failed to score under Rules as yet but looking as though he might be better over fences off a mark that doesn't look harsh.

Form: 402333-

Bradford Bridge¹⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 112

5/1

Still a maiden over hurdles despite looking to have ability but he doesn't look to have much pace and a longer trip will surely suit him better in time over fences. 5lb less than his only try in handicaps over hurdles so dangerous to rule out totally.

Form: 5/32463-

Summer Storm^t¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Rachael Blackmore⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 110

6/1

Irish raider who ran here on Friday over hurdles returning to form to finish a good second in a decent handicap hurdle. Able to run off the same mark here returning to fences (pulled-up on last try over them); chance if Friday exertions haven't taken a toll.

Form: 65-3P32

Forecasts

Accord (4/1), Lillington (9/2), Wilberdragon (5/1), Bradford Bridge (5/1), Summer Storm (6/1), Free Stone Hill (8/1), Remind Me Later (8/1), Minella Tweet (20/1)

A competitive novices’ handicap chase with those with experience meeting what look to be some capable newcomers to the sphere who look to be on reasonable marks for their debuts. Both Wilberdragon and Remind Me Later set a fair standard of those that have run although neither has won over the bigger obstacles as yet and it may pay to side with one of the debutantes. Lillington comes from the Tizzard yard which looks to be getting going now and Bradford Bridge looks as though he will make a chaser although the signs are that he’ll need further and a more galloping track to be seen to best effect. Accord looks the type to improve for fences but FREE STONE HILL comes from a yard that have an excellent record with their chasers here and the drop below a mark of 120 looks to put him on a good mark for his chase debut.
