3/1

Victorious over an extended 3m2f at Stratford (good-to-soft) last month. Finished a close fourth over 3m1f here earlier this month and is one for shortlist in this contest.

Calin Du Brizais^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 108| D

Dual winner over fences around this time last year but struggled since including over hurdles and is probably best watched at present.

Under The Phone²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Ceris Biddle⁽⁷⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 107

14/1

Placed over an extended 2m4f at Kempton (soft) in a handicap chase last month. Well held since and stamina to prove on his first try over this trip.

Form: 142/53-7

Amron Kali^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr B Paris-Crofts⁽⁷⁾| T: P Henderson| OR: 105

12/1

Returned to form when finishing 7L second at Fakenham (2m4f, good) earlier this month. Races off a mark 1lb lower than for her most recent victory.

Desilvano^p³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Emma Yardley⁽⁷⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 100| D

10/1

Dual novice hurdle winner during the 2014.2015 season but has failed to trouble the judge in recent times. Others have a more obvious chance in this contest.

Form: P/P9058-

Dotties Dilema^b,t²⁰⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr S A Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 100

25/1

Recorded his fifth win under Rules when successful at Southwell (3m, good) over fences in November. Held over hurdles prior to that and returning from a break.

Form: 311551-

Shinooki²²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 99

16/1

Pulled up on both starts since returning from a break. Handicap mark is falling as a result and this return to hurdles may see him in a better light.

Form: 3265P-P

Non-Runners

Lord Topper²⁰

Weight: 11-12| Age: 5

T: Jamie Snowden J: Page Fuller

Forecasts

Robinroyale (11/4), Crown Hill (3/1), Boss Mans Ladder (3/1), Desilvano (10/1), Calin Du Brizais (12/1), Amron Kali (12/1), Lord Topper (12/1), Under The Phone (14/1), Shinooki (16/1), Dotties Dilema (25/1)

LORD TOPPER ran well for a long way over a trip he probably finds on the sharp side these days last time out and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up over C&D last September by taking this competitive handicap hurdle. Jockey Page Fuller has an 18% strike-rate when teaming up with trainer Jamie Snowden in recent years and they can enhance that by taking this contest. Top weight Crown Hill looks capable of claiming second following a good run last time out while Boss Mans Ladder won over further last month and remains open to improvement.
