Gars Bar Dine³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 113

14/1

Has had a nomadic existence having been trained in France and Ireland but still a maiden after 19 runs and hasn't shown enough for current yard to be of interest on chase debut today.

Form: 509/4-85

Road To Gold³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Lucy Alexander| T: N W Alexander| OR: 112| C| D

5/2

Has twice run with credit at shorter over hurdles this term but now tries fences again and has shown little aptitude in four previous goes over the larger obstacles.

Form: 524-1P2

Glittering Love³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 106| CD

2/1

Multiple Point-to-point winner and made it 2 from 2 over fences under rules with wins at Hexham and then over C&D. Showed really good attitude on both occasions and should have more to come.

Form: 1114-11

Vasco D'Ycy⁶⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: Julia Brooke| OR: 105| C

9/1

In good heart over hurdles when last seen in the spring of 2017 but absent since and still a maiden over fences. Having first run over the larger obstacles since 2015.

Imperial Prince¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: I A Duncan| OR: 100

5/1

Seemed to find 3m3f beyond him here last time but ran well to a point and now enjoys a 5lb pull for 2L with Glittering Love from penultimate start. Yet to win over fences in 11 attempts but should play a part.

Form: 39F536

Katalystic²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 96

8/1

Modest maiden over hurdles but has the shape to do better in his new career over fences and interesting to see if there is any market support for him on this debut in this sphere.

Form: 747/4-74

Carlingford Prince^h²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: T Reed| OR: 96

16/1

Runner up in a pair of Point-to-points but doesn't make it to the track very often and hard to fancy on belated debut over fences under rules.

Form: PU24/6-7

Ashes Corner⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: J Kington| T: Julia Brooke| OR: 84

50/1

Has clearly had problems and now goes chasing late in life. Hasn't shown enough to be of interest from out of the weights.

Form: R5743/P

Forecasts

Glittering Love (2/1), Road To Gold (5/2), Imperial Prince (5/1), Katalystic (8/1), Vasco D'Ycy (9/1), Gars Bar Dine (14/1), Carlingford Prince (16/1), Ashes Corner (50/1)

A weak race for the grade and GLITTERING LOVE is taken to defy his 5lb rise and enhance his excellent strike rate. Imperial Prince rates the logical danger on their meeting here last month though is proving hard to win with while Katalystic has the physique to take to fences and may reward each way backers.
