Oliver's Hill^b,t³²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-7| J: Mr James King⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs L Hill| OR: 117| CD

10/3

Jumped these fences really well when a comfortable 8L in October and followed up in similar commanding style at Kempton. Has lost his way since but he has a record of bouncing back from abject failures.

Form: 2115-46

Walden Prince^t,v¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: P J Brennan| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 107

7/4

Hard to win with and was gifted a four-runner race at Newton Abbot in which the two market leaders ran as though something was amiss. Landed with a 5lb hike in the weights but meets rivals carrying issues into this contest.

Form: 63-2P31

Code Of Law^p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 96| CD

15/8

Has won a couple of poor class 5 races over these fences. This is probably little better and he must have every chance given he is so much better here than elsewhere.

Form: 43-P1P5

Fair Frank^p1,h1,t1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 94

6/1

Scored under this rider at Southwell last October off an identical mark. Lost his way subsequently and worrying to see his trainer empty the tack room to try and resolve the problem.

Form: 417-P6P

Forecasts

Walden Prince (7/4), Code Of Law (15/8), Oliver's Hill (10/3), Fair Frank (6/1)

Walden Prince looks the obvious candidate but the form of his latest victory is suspect and he has been tailed off on his three previous visits here. Oliver's Hill and Fair Frank have not shown enough lately to be trusted, but CODE OF LAW has produced his two best performances over these fences and that may be good enough reason to support him.
