11/2
Cannot be accused of consistency, but won over this trip at Haydock in January off a mark of 124, fair effort at Ayr on reappearance recently, though jumping wasn't the best. Can't rule out, but others appeal more.

5/2
Dual chase winner, looked set to hit the frame - at worst - 12 days ago at Lingfield over this trip when coming down at the last. Mark untouched and yard in good form, entitled to go close.

9/2
Likely frontrunner who will be dangerous if jumping well on the front end. Runner-up over 2m4f (good) at Wincanton this month already, though drop in trip not certain to suit and could add pressure to his sometimes sketchy jumping.

Won first two chases before being pulled up (presumably lame) and missed all of last season. Understandably caught for fitness on the back of 534 days off at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) this month. Not written off, but can only be watched for now.

4/1
Yet to win in 19 starts over fences, though has been second eight times. Again travelled strongly on reappearance Plumpton last month over this sort of trip before going down a head. Nothing wrong with attitude in finish and should get his win soon.

10/3
French import remains a maiden after six starts for the Hobbs team. Mark has dropped 15lb now and shaped well enough on return at Worcester last month over shorter trip. Not dismissed.

Forecasts

Un Prophete (5/2), Keep Moving (10/3), Crafty Roberto (4/1), Alpine Secret (4/1), Turban (9/2), Ubaltique (11/2), Native Robin (12/1)

Verdict

CRAFTY ROBERTO has developed a bit of a tendency for finishing second (eight times) but there was nothing ungenuine about his effort last time at Plumpton on his first start since April. He travelled like the best horse there and was just edged out. He gets on well with Kielan Woods and they could get a much-deserved win now. Un Prophete knows how to win and looked booked for at least a place when falling at Lingfield last time, he should go close here. The likeable Turban, second at Wincanton recently, may find this trip adds unwanted pressure to his jumping while Alpine Secret is a potential improver.
