Bazooka⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: D Flood| OR: 70

5/1

Form has tailed off recently both over hurdles and on the Flat and now drops to this level. Yet to convince on AW and doesn't look favoured by the weights but dangerous if returning near his best.

Form: 97132-9

Cayuga¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 75| C

6/4

Overcame a 15 month absence to win over 1m2f here in January but failed to replicate that over shorter at Kempton. Favoured by the weights and will appreciate the return to this track but is questionable over this trip.

Form: 8677/19

Ceyhan⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 65| BF

7/1

Broke his maiden tag at Chelmsford but then didn't find under pressure when looming up like the winner here over 1m4f. Not certain to want this distance but should be a danger at this level.

Fanoulpifer^h,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 69

5/2

Hasn't won since arriving from Italy but has threatened to breakthrough on his last two and has been crying out for this extra stamina test. Looks favoured by the weights back in this grade.

Form: 6-28P34

(5)

Clearance^p1⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 42

12/1

Yet to place and albeit open to more improvement than most needs to step up considerably for the drop in grade and addition of cheekpieces.

Form: 0777-57

(7)

Dude Alert^v²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: M R Hoad| OR: 48

33/1

Maiden who has shown nothing over hurdles after a two year absence and hasn't shown enough previously on the Flat.

Sandacres^t³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: George Downing| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 43

16/1

Stamina unproven and yet to find his best trip. Did get very wide in a seller last start so could improve but has it to do at the weights.

Form: 0809-87

Forecasts

Cayuga (6/4), Fanoulpifer (5/2), Bazooka (5/1), Yes Daddy (6/1), Ceyhan (7/1), Clearance (12/1), Sandacres (16/1), Dude Alert (33/1)

A tricky claimer with typically doubts against most. Cayuga would be a danger if staying this trip and returning to form back at a track he clearly enjoys. Ceyhan is another who needs to prove he needs this far but is racing well enough to be a force at this level. However down in grade, FANOULPIFER is racing off a competitive weight and can get a first British win on this much needed step up in distance.
