Off time: 15:46 | Winning time: 5m 55.9s

Pickamix^t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 128| BF

3/1

Really well backed when only able to finish fourth at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month. Needs to do more but dropped a couple of pounds and more than capable of bouncing back to form in this grade.

Form: 22365-4

Always On The Run⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 128WS

5/1

Ran consistently well last season but struggled to get his head in front. Handicapper is finally starting to cut him some slack and he has had a wind operation since his sole start this year. Dangerous if bouncing back to form.

Form: 33230-5

The Clock Leary²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 125| CD

16/1

Last win came over this C&D off a 3lb higher mark back in September. Form tailed off somewhat after that but should be cherry ripe after a couple of recent spins and strong claims from a handicapping perspective back here.

Form: 41P5P-4

Jovial Joey^t⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 123| CD

10/1

C&D winner off 1lb higher last April. Has been a tail of woe wince though and has only managed to complete on his most recent start. Should come on for that but tough to recommend.

Form: 1/PUPP-5

Minella Scamp⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 122| D

11/4

Had started to look disappointing over fences until winning at Towcester last month when made favourite appearing to suit the sounder surface. May be a different proposition now he's got his head in front and respected

Form: 2/2243-1

More Buck's^t³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 119| BF| D

11/4

Well beaten in second in a three-runner race at Wincanton (3m2½f, good) last month on final start for Paul Nicholls. Starting to look dangerously handicapped on first start for new yard and rider knows him well.

Form: FP3/77-2

Quiet Account⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Adrian Heskin| T: C A McBratney| OR: 105| D

14/1

Talented point-to-pointer/chaser that returned to action under rules when beaten about 5½L at Down Patrick last week. This race is weaker so not ruled out under conditions that should suit.

Form: 4F2P5-5

Non-Runners

Blue Kascade²⁷

Weight: 11-4| Age: 11

T: A M Thomson J: Rachel McDonald

Forecasts

More Buck's (11/4), Minella Scamp (11/4), Pickamix (3/1), Always On The Run (5/1), Blue Kascade (7/1), Jovial Joey (10/1), Quiet Account (14/1), The Clock Leary (16/1)

You can make a case for plenty of these from one angle or another. Irish raider Quiet Account went well in a better race than this last week and is respected. More Buck's is dangerously well handicapped and will be a player if the change of scenery has perked him up. Slight preference is for THE CLOCK LEARY who goes well here and is on a good mark now with Brian Hughes on board.
