Mr Monochrome³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 120

6/1

Only had the two chase starts, shaped a bit better than the bare result at Carlisle last time and will strip fitter for that run. Switch to a left-handed track may help too and yard get plenty of winners here. One of the more interesting ones.

Form: 3123/4-7

Burrenbridge Hotel²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 119

3/1

Form this calendar year is moderate but has a chance if his second to Prairie Town in January is to be believed. Yard starting to emerge from a poor spell, and this one looks well enough handicapped to take a part. Chances in an open event.

Form: 12P3-47

Vengeur De Guye^t³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 118| BF| D

4/1

Close second at Kelso in April the highlight of his form this year, stuck to the task back there last time out but in truth looks about handicapped to the hilt at present and might find others a bit too quick today.

Form: 6252-54

Drops Of Jupitor¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 112

14/1

Looked useful when winning a novice hurdle at Exeter last December but it's been backward steps since then and a fall at the first at Warwick last time will hardly have helped his confidence. Others preferred.

Form: 1664P-F

Broughtons Rhythm^h¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood| OR: 110| D

11/4

Looked sure to play a part in the finish when unseating at the last at Lingfield latest start, that good run coming after a break, and he is on the same mark here. Conditions fine and this is a bit easier too, so one for the shortlist today.

Form: 1/6332-U

Uno Valoroso²⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Walford| OR: 107| CD

5/1

Winner of this from the same mark last year, so clearly handles the track well, but had had a run before coming here last year and that's not the case this time around. Nevertheless, likely to be fit for this and as such, can't be discounted.

Forecasts

Broughtons Rhythm (11/4), Burrenbridge Hotel (3/1), Vengeur De Guye (4/1), Uno Valoroso (5/1), Mr Monochrome (6/1), Drops Of Jupitor (14/1)

Broughtons Rhythm was possibly an unlucky loser at Lingfield and seeks compensation here. He should have his chance, as should last year's victor Uno Valoroso but the two at the top of the handicap make the most appeal. Mr Monochrome will strip fitter for a recent outing where he shaped really nicely until late on, but BURRENBRIDGE HOTEL represents a yard in much better form now and looks well enough handicapped to take a chance on.
