Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR:  138| D
7/4
Created a good impression on chasing debut when making all at Southwell last month. The form has worked out really well with the next three home all winning since and could rate higher in this sphere.
2
Horse silk
Reivers Lad38
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: R D Day| T: N G Richards| OR:  132| D
5/1
Progressive novice hurdler in 2017 until injury intervened. Overcame 19 months absence to make winning debut over fences last month at Newcastle and should be open to plenty of improvement.

Horse silk
Sam's Gunner282
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: M & D Easterby| OR:  136
15/8
Won valuable novice handicap over 2m4f at Sandown in March in the mud prior to pulling up in a Grade 1 when last seen at Aintree in April. Chasing type but likely to need further.
4
Horse silk
Tonto's Spirith78
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: Kenneth Slack| OR:  131| C| D
7/2
Decent front running hurdler who now switches to the larger obstacles. Should do well at this game but concedes experience to some promising types.
5
Horse silk
Uncle Bobby15
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-12| J: C R King| T: M & D Easterby
66/1
Well beaten in a pair of novice chases and likely scenario again today with low grade handicaps an option after this.
6
Horse silk
Margaret's Rose18
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-5| J: Colm McCormack(3)| T: A B Hamilton| OR:  82
66/1
Placed a couple of times in minor company over hurdles for previous yard. Tailed off on debut for current trainer and impossible to fancy now switched to fences.

Forecasts

Destrier (7/4), Sam's Gunner (15/8), Tonto's Spirit (7/2), Reivers Lad (5/1), Uncle Bobby (66/1), Margaret's Rose (66/1)

Verdict

The top pair were both impressive on chasing debut and narrow preference is for DESTRIER to remain unbeaten at the expense of Reivers Lad. Sam's Gunner will surely need further but may win the battle for third.
  1. Destrier
  2. Reivers Lad
  3. Sam's Gunner
