Off time: 14:25 | Winning time: 6m 20.35s

Enniscoffey Oscar²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 137| D

1/1

Dual hurdles winner last season including in a Grade 2 event over an extended 3m at Doncaster (soft) in January. Well beaten on chase debut last time out but likely capable of better with cheekpieces worn that day absent on this occasion.

Form: 1109-55

Reigning Supreme¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: B J Geraghty| T: N J Henderson| OR: 132| BF

5/4

Placed over fences at Newbury (soft) last February but pulled up in two subsequent chase starts including in handicap company at Aintree (3m1f, good) last time out. Smaller field here should suit.

Form: 41/U2P-P

Seaston Spirit¹⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Garner| T: O Sherwood| OR: 112

9/1

Heavy ground maiden hurdle winner at Fontwell over 2m3f in January. Disappointing in the main since and plenty to find with his rivals on hurdles ratings.

Form: 2142-B0

Forecasts

Enniscoffey Oscar (1/1), Reigning Supreme (5/4), Seaston Spirit (9/1)

A tricky novice chase that can see REIGNING SUPREME put a disappointing handicap effort last time out behind him by getting the better of Enniscoffey Oscar. The latter didn't convince on chase debut last time out but looks capable of taking second ahead of Seaston Spirit.
