Strongly Suggested29
Age: 10|  Weight: 12-0| J: B J Geraghty| T: J & A O'Neill| OR:  122| C
8/1
Successful ten times in a 56 race career including over 3m at Warwick (good) last time out. Raised 7lb for that victory and likely to run well once more.

Horatio Hornblower227
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-12| J: Lizzie Kelly(3)| T: Nick Williams| OR:  120
4/1
Successful off a 3lb higher mark at Ffos Las (good-to-soft) in March last year but generally disappointing since then including at Warwick (3m5f, soft) in March when last seen in action.

Horse silk
Cloudy Bob29
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-10| J: Thomas Greatrex(7)| T: P G Murphy| OR:  118| D
7/1
Put a disappointing performance behind him when finishing runner-up to Strongly Suggested over 3m at Warwick (good) last time out. Races off the same mark today and useful conditional takes the ride once more.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-10| J: Matt Griffiths| T: Nicky Martin| OR:  118| D
6/1
Made a winning debut for this yard over an extended 2m6f at Stratford (soft) in March and respectable efforts in two starts since. Held by a couple of these on running at Warwick (3m, good) last time out however.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-7| J: Stan Sheppard(3)| T: M Sheppard| OR:  115| C
50/1
Bidding to complete a hat-trick but could finish only third over 2m1f at Stratford (good-to-soft) last time out. Yet to win over further than an extended 2m3f.

Horse silk
Follow The Swallow233
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR:  114
8/1
Sole success came in a beginners chase at Thurles (yielding) in March 2016. Held in two completed starts since finishing runner-up at Warwick in September last year and others make more appeal.
7
Horse silk
Aunty Ann23
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: Jordan Nailor(7)| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  113
6/1
Finished third the last twice most recently over 2m5f at Stratford (good) earlier this month. Dropped 1lb for that effort and promising amateur rider takes the ride once more.
8
Horse silk
Kaylat21
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: S Edmunds| OR:  112| D
7/1
Victorious four times in the past but losing run stretches back to July last year and remains on a mark 2lb higher than for her latest success as she seeks a first victory over fences.
9
Horse silk
Dawnieriverp49
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen(7)| T: M Scudamore| OR:  110
13/2
Successful off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell (3m, good) in March and returning to form when finishing runner-up under today's rider over the same C&D last time out. Interesting runner today.

Forecasts

Horatio Hornblower (4/1), Aunty Ann (6/1), Alberobello (6/1), Dawnieriver (13/2), Cloudy Bob (7/1), Kayla (7/1), Strongly Suggested (8/1), Follow The Swallow (8/1), Modeligo (50/1)

Verdict

CLOUDY BOB can take this opening handicap chase under the promising conditional rider Tom Greatrex. The selection ran well when finishing runner-up to today's rival Strongly Suggested on his return a month ago and on the revised terms can reverse that form. Of the remaining runners the consistent Aunty Ann has been running well of late and finished third here on penultimate outing and she can claim third stepping up in trip today.
  1. Cloudy Bob
  2. Strongly Suggested
  3. Aunty Ann
