15/8
Winner over fences on heavy ground in France but had just two starts since joining this yard two years ago. Well held on return to action at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month but this looks a weaker contest.

14/1
Dual winner over fences most recently over 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good-to-soft) in June last year. Failed to complete on three of his five subsequent starts and races off a mark 4lb lower than for that latest success.

6/1
Handicap mark is falling having failed to complete on each of his last three starts. Races off a mark 13lb lower than for his most recent victory but best form has come on ground quicker than is forecast today.

5/2
Point-to-point winner and put in a good effort in finishing runner-up over 2m4f at Wincanton (good) on handicap debut in this sphere last time out. Likely to run well once more. Also engaged 12:55 Southwell Sunday.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-2| J: T E Whelan| T: David Dennis| OR:  109
7/2
Nine race maiden but a career best effort when beaten a neck in a 2m4f handicap chase at Warwick (good-to-soft) last time out. One to note with cheekpieces fitted for the first time today. Also engaged 12:55 Southwell Sunday.

Age: 12|  Weight: 10-0| J: Miss L Brooke(7)| T: Lady S Brooke| OR:  81| D
18/1
Successful six times from 41 runs over fences and returning to form when finishing 3L second in a 2m handicap chase at Ffos Las (soft) last time out. Racing from well out of the handicap today.

Forecasts

Achille (15/8), Farm The Rock (5/2), Shanty Town (7/2), Jayo Time (6/1), Fear Glic (14/1), Spock (18/1)

Verdict

FARM THE ROCK put in his best performance under rules when finishing second at Wincanton last time and he can register his first chase success in this six runner contest. The selection races off the same mark today and is taken to get the better of Shanty Town who wears cheekpieces for the first time following a narrow defeat last time out. Of the remainder Achille was a decent horse when trained in France and can claim third on his second run back following an absence.
