Brandy And Red²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Joshua Newman⁽³⁾| T: P D Rogers

16/1

Failed to complete in his last two starts and hasn't scored since landing a couple of point to points a couple of years ago. Looks to have plenty of work to do.

Form: PP/PP-

Creative Inerta^t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁷⁾| T: Ben Clarke| D

9/4

Has run OK in point to points this season but pulled up in his only outing in a hunter chase. On balance others make far more appeal.

Form: 3623P-3

Golander¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: G Chambers| OR: 70| D

16/1

Only success in 17 starts came in a maiden point to point 18 months ago. Beaten in a selling hurdle under Rules last term and appears to have his work cut out here.

The Lizard King^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D Edwards| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 95| D

7/1

Seventh in Taunton hunter chase this winter and pulled up at the same track last month in heavy gruond. Had shown fair form previous season so an improved display on better ground not totally ruled out.

Form: 22137P-

Mistress Massini¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr William Biddick| T: Mrs Teresa Clark| D

5/6

Respectable form under Rules for Anthony Honeyball including winning a Ludlow bumper. Has done well wininng both point to point for new handler, top rider on board, and should be there or thereabout in her hat-trick bid.

Form: 14/4411-

The Two Amigos¹⁷

Forecasts

Mistress Massini (5/6), The Two Amigos (10/11), Creative Inerta (9/4), The Lizard King (7/1), Brandy And Red (16/1), Golander (16/1)

This looks a straight fight between THE TWO AMIGOS and Mistress Massini, with preference for the former who has been in cracking from this season. Mistress Massini is a danger though as she seems to be improving in this sphere. The Lizard King is the one suggested for the tricast.
