Grove Silver^b³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 116| CD

11/4

Wore blinkers (retained) for the first time when winning over C&D last time out. Raised 5lb for that success and he is one to note in this contest.

Form: 973F41

Justforjames^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 115| D

8/1

Saw off two rivals when winning under today's rider at Sedgefield (heavy) in first time cheekpieces (retained) last time. More needed off a 4lb higher mark today.

Form: 3-55341

Cash Again⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 113

18/1

Victorious over an extended 2m3f at Sedgefield (soft) in January but disappointed over 2m5f there subsequently, Interesting to see how he fares today.

Form: 576P13

Present Flight^t²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Blair Campbell⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 111

7/1

Successful twice over fences but most recent victory came in November 2015. Back down to his last winning mark however and worth a check in the market today.

Form: 425/234

Calivigny^v⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Lucy Alexander| T: N W Alexander| OR: 110| D

13/2

Inconsistent performer but put in a fair effort in finishing 13L third over an extended 2m4f at Ayr (heavy) last time out. Likely more needed today however.

Form: 7-27253

Presenting Junior²⁸⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: M Todhunter| OR: 109| D

33/1

Winning for the tenth time when victorious over an extended 3m1f at Cartmel (good) last July. Drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience but probably best watched on seasonal debut.

Form: 8P3-421

Zayfire Aramis⁵⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Scudamore| OR: 108| D

10/1

Victorious over this trip on soft ground at Leicester in January and ran well to finish 3L third off this 5lb higher mark subsequently. Interesting runner in this contest.

Form: 443U13

Doktor Glaz^v⁷²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 108| D

4/1

Registered his first chase success when winning over 2m3f at Doncaster (soft) last timeout. Races off a 4lb higher mark today and has run well at this venue in the past.

Form: 4-42351

Swing Hard¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 108| CD

9/1

Twice finished third earlier this season but pulled up the last twice including over C&D on his penultimate outing. Dangerous to write off having won over C&D off a higher mark in the past.

Form: 12-33PP

Forecasts

Grove Silver (11/4), Doktor Glaz (4/1), Calivigny (13/2), Present Flight (7/1), Justforjames (8/1), Swing Hard (9/1), Zayfire Aramis (10/1), Cash Again (18/1), Presenting Junior (33/1)

Trainer Jennie Candlish can boast a 20% strike-rate (2/10) in recent times and her representative today GROVE SILVER can follow up last months C&D success by defying top weight in this competitive affair. The forecast underfoot conditions should suit the grey and he is taken to get the better of Zayfire Aramis who put in a decent effort in defeat last time out. Doktor Glaz has run well over further in the past and can finish third today.
