4/1
Useful horse on his day and returned to form when finishing a good fifth in a Listed handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, soft) in first time blinkers (retained) last time out. Interesting with a leading Irish amateur booked to ride today.

6/1
Novice chase winner at Wetherby (good) over an extended 2m3f in October and ran well to finish second at Fakenham on his penultimate outing. Likely to place when falling there last time and he is one to note in this contest.

In decent form in recent starts having finished placed in handicap chases at Taunton (3m1f, heavy) and Taunton (2m7f. soft) the last twice. Represents a leading stable with trip and ground to suit.

Put a disappointing Carlisle (3m2f, heavy) effort behind him when finishing runner-up at Market Rasen (3m, good-to-soft) in November. Races off the same mark returning from a break today.

Winning for the third time over fences when successful at Newbury (soft) in first time cheekpieces (absent today) last time out. Races off a 4lb higher mark today.

3/1
Best effort so far this season came when finishing 5L second over an extended 3m1f on good-to-soft ground here last time out. Raised 2lb for that effort and is an interesting runner for a stable in good form (3/3) in recent weeks.

Won just one of his 21 chase starts to date and finished well held in a competitive contest over 2m3f at Ascot (soft) last time out. Remains on a mark 6lb higher than for his sole chase victory.

Forecasts

Captain Buck's (11/4), Goohar (3/1), Horatio Hornblower (10/3), Federici (4/1), Popelys Gull (6/1), Kap Jazz (7/1), Uhlan Bute (18/1)

Verdict

FEDERICI ran well in a valuable contest last time out and he can take this amateur riders event for trainer Donald McCain. The selection has the ground and trip to suit today and can get the better of Captain Buck's who remains open to improvement. Popelys Gull looked likely to have finished in the frame when coming down late on last time out and he can finish third today.
  1. Federici
  2. Captain Buck's
  3. Popelys Gull
