Clondaw Westie^p,t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Mrs L Hill| OR: 121| C

5/1

Rapid improvement last spring when winning four out five including twice here. Entitled to come on for Sandown comeback last month and possible there is more to come.

Form: 1U111-5

Mortens Leam¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hawker| OR: 121| C

8/1

Marathon trip found him out latest but was impressive when gaining second career win at this track prior to that and although 12lb hike is steep, there may be improvement on this return to more suitable distance.

Form: 8U1516

Native Robin²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Scott| OR: 118| CD

2/1

Improved on his Fakenham win when chasing home a bang in-form rival at Exeter. Course winner who looks set to play a major role.

Form: 450-412

Stage Summit^p⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR: 116WS

9/2

Similar level of form both runs over fences and has had wind surgery since last seen so there may be more to come.

Form: 253-053

Night Of Sin¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: H Cobden| T: Nick Williams| OR: 113

3/1

Taunton win in November against sole finisher proved little and subsequent efforts at various trips haven't looked like adding to that. Champion jockey now takes over in the saddle.

Form: 571367

Triple Chief¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: J D Frost| OR: 108| D

10/1

Dual winner last season and although struggled since, his Exeter run last recently was far more encouraging and makes appeal from handicapping point of view if able to build on that.

Form: 6-26PP3

Forecasts

Native Robin (2/1), Night Of Sin (3/1), Stage Summit (9/2), Clondaw Westie (5/1), Mortens Leam (8/1), Triple Chief (10/1)

Hard to rule any out and narrow preference is for NATIVE ROBIN who bumped into a big improver last time. Triple Chiefshowed last time as though a return to form could be just around the corner and is a big danger with Clondaw Westie of interest with his comeback run under his belt.
