Derintoher Yank^h⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Henry Brooke| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 134

6/1

Has made solid return to chasing recently, getting off the mark over fences at Carlisle in October before running well in defeat the last twice. Goes off the same mark here in a similar race but could be playing for second behind Deauville Dancer.

Deauville Dancer^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: L P Aspell| T: David Dennis| OR: 130

4/11

Hat-trick seeker who has gone up 5lb for winning nicely at Fakenham last time out. Has come into his own over fences, remains progressive and won't mind this step up in trip (has won over further).

Form: 442411

Apple Of Our Eye⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 123

9/4

Not totally beaten off when falling on chase debut at Plumpton last time having traveled well into the race, and could represent a threat here if jumping better in the closing stages.

Form: 239P-3F

Forecasts

Deauville Dancer (4/11), Apple Of Our Eye (9/4), Derintoher Yank (6/1)

This should go to DEAUVILLE DANCER. A progressive chaser for David Dennis who has won half his races over fences so far, he again won nicely at Fakenham last time in the style of a horse who may be able to overcome this 5lb rise up the weights. He also looked as if this step back up in trip should be exactly what he wants, and he may well prove tough to beat. Apple Of Our Eye shades second preference having fallen late in the day after travelling strongly on chase debut at Plumpton last time, while Derintoher Yank has run well over fences so far and can't be ruled out either.
