Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J E Moore| T: J L Flint| OR: 116| D

11/2

Broke a blood vessel last time but earlier chasing debut at Hereford reads well in this grade. Often front runs and those tactics could be a positive at this track.

Form: 21-3924

Paddy's Poem^t⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 111

3/1

Jumped right at Chepstow so going this way around should help. May have more to come over fences and not without claims.

Form: 328-333

Templier³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 110| D

11/2

Front runner who makes chasing debut. Fit from the Flat and interesting to see how he goes in the market.

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽⁵⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 109

14/1

Did win over hurdles at Leicester just over a year ago but showed little on comeback run and now goes chasing rather late in life.

Form: 6/452P-0

Broughtons Rhythm⁴⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood| OR: 109| D

2/1

Probably ran his best race over fences when runner up at Taunton last time though that was a weak event and needs to eke out a bit of improvement to get off the mark in this sphere.

Form: 332-U42

All Is Good¹¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: C Poste| T: R Dickin| OR: 105| BF| DWS

5/1

A pair of disappointing efforts in the autumn but yard was out of sorts then. Often well backed and possible the wind surgery since last seen will have a positive effect.

Form: 46-4236

Forecasts

Broughtons Rhythm (2/1), Paddy's Poem (3/1), All Is Good (5/1), Templier (11/2), Arian (11/2), Master Vintage (14/1)

A tricky affair with narrow preference for ARIAN to give the weight away. All Is Good is likely to do better with the stable now in better form and Broughtons Rhythm completes the short list.
