9/2
Winner of two of his four starts this year including on soft ground in a novice chase at Doncaster last time out. Races off a mark 5lb higher than when winning in handicap company in November.

8/1
Impressed when winning a handicap chase over an extended 3m on heavy ground at Carlisle last month. Still held every chance when unseating at Sandown subsequently however and remains of interest today.

7/1
Recorded his fourth career success when winning a marathon contest over an extended 3m6f at Exeter (soft) last time out. Raised 6lb for that victory and interesting to see how he fares today.

Horse silk
Coologue56
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Coleman| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  133WS
9/1
Disappointing since finishing third at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) in April and had a wind operation since pulling up at Doncaster in January. Worth a check in the market today.
5
Horse silk
Amore Alato413
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-3| J: Danny Cook| T: D Skelton| OR:  131
4/1
Successful in Listed company over 3m at Sandown (good) in November 2016 but had just two starts since and making his debut for a new stable following over a year off the track. Market support would be noteworthy today.
6
Horse silk
Thomas Patrick29
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: R Johnson| T: T Lacey| OR:  131| BF
5/1
Successful twice already this season including on chase debut on heavy ground at Chepstow last month. Held by Dawson City on running at Exeter last time and this drop in trip should suit.
7
Horse silk
Lower Hope Dandy82
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-3| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR:  131
16/1
Ended last season with a novice chase victory on soft ground at Exeter last March and made a satisfactory return to action when 30L third at the same venue in January. Likely to find at least one too good today however.
8
Horse silk
Bells 'n' Banjos49
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-1| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR:  129
5/1
Completed a Leicester double when winning off this mark on soft ground in February last year but has struggled in the main since and pulled up at Musselburgh (4m1f, soft) last time out.

Forecasts

Amore Alato (4/1), Wotzizname (9/2), Thomas Patrick (5/1), Bells 'n' Banjos (5/1), Dawson City (7/1), Shanroe Santos (8/1), Coologue (9/1), Lower Hope Dandy (16/1)

Verdict

SHANROE SANTOS has been in good form of late and he can register his second victory of 2018 in this opening handicap chase. Trainer Lucy Wadham is in good form at present (3/15) and her charge can get the better of top weight Wotzizname who was a winner last time out. Of the remainder Thomas Patrick represents a yard in great form at present and he can finish third dropping in trip.
  1. Shanroe Santos
  2. Wotzizname
  3. Thomas Patrick
