2/5

Out-and-out front runner who has looked capable of some smart form over hurdles but may not quite as good over fences. Disappointed last time out at Sandown (usually ran well over hurdles there); dangerous if left alone in front.

Form: 272U13

Jeu De Mots¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Lizzie Kelly⁽³⁾| T: Nick Williams

9/4

Given a tough task here having been given a very considerate introduction to chasing at Hereford over 3m and now brought back 4f in distance. Jumped well last time out and will do better in time especially when given a mark.

Form: 22-44

Sparky's Spirit⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 85

18/1

Staring at an impossible mission on official rating here and would be getting some 59lb from the likely market leader here if this were a handicap. A maiden in point-to-points he shown little over hurdles and now makes his chasing debut.

Form: P4/0P78

Forecasts

Rayvin Black (2/5), Adrien Du Pont (8/13), Jeu De Mots (9/4), Sparky's Spirit (18/1)

There looks to be no prizes for predicting the early leader here as Rayvin Black loves to front run and he’s almost certain to lead here but he looks to have a hard job to hold off ADRIEN DU PONT. Paul Nicholls runner will appreciate this drop in class and deserves another victory. Jeu De Mots should be able to take the minor placing as long as no mishaps happen to the main contenders.
