Off time: 15:41 | Winning time: 5m 29.5s

Hurry Henry^p¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 92

20/1

Pulled up in three of his last four starts and was last of the eight finishers in his latest outing; hardly inspiring reading and enough reason to look elsewhere for the winner.

Form: 44/PPP-8

Big Time Frank^p1¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Lorcan Williams| T: P Gundry| OR: 87| BF

1/1

Still a maiden but placed in both his last two starts over fences. Up 5lb for his latest effort but feasible he'll enjoy this shorter trip, so cannot be discounted. Shortlist material at least.

Form: P334-22

Goring One^p²⁹

Age: 14| Weight: 11-1| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR: 81| CD

11/2

Admirable as he's been over the years, the gelding struggled to make an impact in six starts during 2018 and he now looks to be finally on the downgrade. Can make the running but will take a mammoth effort to hold on.

Form: 35P3-64

Brother Bennett^p,t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Page Fuller| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 80

9/2

Won a chase at Plumpton from a 2lb lower mark last April but has only run in snatches since. One of his more encouraging efforts latest but not certain to be in the same frame of mind again this time.

Form: 1-P5204

Bonds Conquest³⁰¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 76| D

7/2

Still a maiden but has comparable form with the best of this moderate bunch. Just 3lb higher than his winning mark at Leicester in March. Not seen out since but sound claims if raring to go. The betting can guide.

Form: 33/P441-

Monet Moor¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Alexander Thorne⁽³⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 65| D

20/1

Made no impression over fences so far and very little reason to expect her to pull something out of the hat this time; readily passed over in the search for a winning selection on the card.

Form: P8/63-PP

Forecasts

Big Time Frank (1/1), Bonds Conquest (7/2), Brother Bennett (9/2), Goring One (11/2), Monet Moor (20/1), Hurry Henry (20/1)

BIG TIME FRANK was too good for Bondss Conquest the last time they met and the Poly Gundry-trained gelding is fancied to emerge as the strongest candidate in a weak finale. Brother Bennet gets the token vote as the most reliable of the rest after he posted a decent run at Plumpton last time.
