Bialco^t⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 125

11/8

Just one win from 48 starts which came in a French chase at Nantes. That record an obvious concern but he's been running well with placed efforts in this sphere of late so can't be ruled out.

Every Chance¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: N C Kelly

16/1

Has won three starts on the Flat including a seller at Lingfield in January. Well beaten on hurdles debut last time and may struggle here.

Form: 6-

Hooligan Jack^p1³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Ross Chapman⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine

66/1

Pulled up on hurdles debut and tailed off in two starts since. Will need plenty more here in first-time cheekpieces.

Mick's Wish¹¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: Mrs J Stephen

20/1

A maiden in point-to-points and well beaten in four subsequent starts under Rules. Doesn't look like the easiest ride and others preferred.

Form: 32/6578-

Weebill²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 123| BF

5/6

Improved from bumper debut to place in next three starts over hurdles before winning at Fakenham in March, staying on well. Ran well again upped in trip last time and likely to be hard to beat in this field.

Form: 433212-

Expresstime³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: D B Hurst⁽⁷⁾| T: C Grant

50/1

Placed in two point to points but tailed off on first Rules starts and failed to finish the last twice, well beaten when taking a fall last time out. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Weebill (5/6), Bialco (11/8), Every Chance (16/1), Mick's Wish (20/1), Expresstime (50/1), Left Back (50/1), Hooligan Jack (66/1)

WEEBILL should take some beating after a promising run upped in trip last time out. Bialco's profile of one win from 48 starts is a little off-putting but he's been running well of late and shouldn't be far away. Every Chance was well beaten on hurdles debut last time but may do better with time and has won races on the Flat.
