Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 140| C

15/2

Seemingly a touch regressive over fences these days and not won for nearly two years. On a fair mark if he puts it all together and should come on for his latest run at Stratford when tailed off; jockey booking also a positive so can't be ruled out.

Form: 92264-6

Rolling Dylan²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 132| BF| D

4/1

Started in point-to-points and has been a useful hurdler in recent years. Type to do better over the larger obstacles and while his debut over fences was a shade disappointing last time, he will have learnt plenty from that and come on for the run.

Form: 212P2-5

Little Jon^p¹⁹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 129| D

4/1

While beaten in an experimental run over hurdles when last seen at Sandown last year but worthy of plenty of respect back in this sphere. Would probably want the ground a little softer but he's on a fair mark and consistent enough.

Town Parks²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: W T Kennedy| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 128

3/1

Consistent sort who was in good form last season over hurdles. Plenty of promise on his chase debut last time and good chance he will come on for that run so certainly warrants respect and likely to enjoy the step back up in trip.

Form: 72122-4

Perfect Timing^p¹⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: N D Fehily| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 125| D

12/1

Arrives in search of a belated four-timer but has only beaten 10 horses in those three runs and may find this tougher. All his wins have come on faster ground but if he handles conditions and ready to go after the break, he shouldn't be far away.

Form: 74211-1

Song Saa^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 124| D

3/1

Promising return over C&D last time but she may have to come on for that run if she's to have a say here as the handicapper has seemingly caught up with here. Consistent enough so can't be ruled out for minor honours but would like more rain.

Form: P1133-2

A highly competitive affair and with the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard in such good form, it may be worth siding with LITTLE JOHN to come out on top; he's well-handicapped on old form and he often gives a good account. Perfect Timing will no doubt prove popular with punters but with slight question marks over the ground in a more competitive race, he may be worth taking on for win purposes. Town Parks shaped like he would come on for his latest effort and the step back up in trip should see him in a better light.
