Off time: 17:10 | Winning time: 6m 36.90s

Never Learn^t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 99| BF

11/4

13-race maiden who jumped a lot better last time. Yard do well here with their lesser lights and possible they have found the right race, trip and ground this time.

Form: 3/F2432-

Kilmurvy^p,t³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Scott| OR: 97| BF

11/4

Without a win in three years but backed from 11/1 down to 3/1 last time. Never settled into a jumping rhythm on Warwick but these easier obstacles may suit.

Form: 2/944P3-

Red Penny^t⁵¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Bryony Le Clerc⁽³⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 94

11/2

Not badly handicapped on her 2016 form. Will be fitter for last month's return over an inadequate trip, but she left the impression she was well below her best.

Form: 42232/4-

Quick N' Easy^h²⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 91

5/1

Longstanding maiden in point-to-points and under Rules. His form figures tell you all you need to know, but this quirky track can sometimes inspire this type.

Form: F/22222-

Lord Aldervale^t¹⁸⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-3| J: A Glassonbury| T: S Woodman| OR: 76

12/1

Front-running 29-race maiden who reserves his best for this track. Good effort over shorter last time and he is usually more effective on this quicker ground.

Form: 2/4P352-

Hardtorock¹⁸⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 73| C

8/1

Inconsistent performer whose two best efforts in the past year have come here. Returns from a break with the quicker ground in his favour.

Form: 6103PP-

What Larks^b²²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Cheesman⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr J R J Naylor| OR: 71

10/1

Sole success came on heavy ground over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow in March 2016. Probably best watched from 2lb out of the weights.

Form: 42P35-5

Roparta Avenue¹⁴

Weight: 10-12| Age: 11

T: C Gordon J: Harry Reed

Forecasts

Never Learn (11/4), Kilmurvy (11/4), Roparta Avenue (11/4), Quick N' Easy (5/1), Red Penny (11/2), Hardtorock (8/1), What Larks (10/1), Lord Aldervale (12/1)

This will take little winning but few of these have the attitude or progressive profile to place your faith in. KILMURVY was backed to do better last time but he made mistakes on a track where it is important to get into a good rhythm. He has his quirks but this track brings out the best in these sorts and at his best he would be a class above these. Never Learn is feared over a new trip on this ground, but Roparta Avenue has been harshly treated for his last run.
