9/4

Decent handicap chaser who is at his best over this trip and goes well on soft ground. Scored at Wetherby from just 2lb lower in December, though out of sorts back there last time. A return to his form of two starts ago would make him tough to beat.

Form: 14-6714

Notarfbad^h¹²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-0| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott| OR: 133| D

2/1

Has won five of his 27 chases from 2m-2m5f, though all have been on good/fast ground. Did post an equal career-best on soft at Wincanton last season, so does handle some cut, but 6lb rise likely to demand an even better effort here.

Form: 3-35421

Tornado In Milan²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: Evan Williams| OR: 131| CD

11/8

Goes well on testing ground and underlined that when scoring by 5L (2m, soft) at Chepstow last month. Raised 5lb for that and champion jockey now assigned (finished runner-up on only previous ride on him). Enters calculations.

Spock²⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Lady S Brooke| OR: 93| D

33/1

Veteran who has won over a similar trip, though his best form has been at around 2m4f and on good/fast ground. Almost two stones out of the handicap here and despite decent form at his own level, he looks very much up against it.

Forecasts

Tornado In Milan (11/8), Space Oddity (11/8), Notarfbad (2/1), Just Cameron (9/4), Spock (33/1)

Tornado In Milan won with a bit in hand last time and has won from a higher mark over hurdles, so with conditions to suit he could again go close here. However, Richard Johnson's only ride on his resulted in the partnership finishing second and they may again have to settle for that here behind the less exposed SPACE ODDITY, who is open to improvement if he can put in a clear round. Just Cameron would certainly give them all plenty to think about if he is on song.
