Off time: 14:31 | Winning time: 6m 30.10s

Champagne Chaser²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 105

8/1

Back to form when third at Newcastle last time but has never been the easiest to catch right and can's be certain to build on that.

Form: 463-903

Some Can Dance⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁷⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 104

6/1

Didn't totally convince over 2m7f at Bangor on latest but connections happy to have a go at a longer trip though does have to prove his stamina.

Form: 458236

Misfits^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Blair Campbell⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 104

10/1

In consistent form until a below par effort on latest but this is a slightly weaker affair and no surprise should he bounce back.

Form: 614239

Sauvignon^h⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly| OR: 101

6/1

Soft ground winner last May when trained by Dan Skelton. Didn't shape too badly when fourth on debut for this yard at Uttoxeter.

Form: F-164P4

Petite Ganache^p⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 99

13/2

Off the mark over 2m6f last time having been beaten favourite on four previous runs. Stays this trip and should have more to come and 6lb rise doesn't looks harsh.

Form: 7-3UF31

Wig Wam Wiggle³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 97

9/2

Back on song when landing a gamble at Newcastle when beating an in-form rival rival. Both wins have been at shorter so has to show he stays this far but obvious claims if he does.

Form: 791-6P1

Leopard^h,t³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Cook| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 91

50/1

Poor form all starts over hurdles at various trips and hard to fancy unless the market tells us different.

Form: 5F603

Mid Day Gun^p1⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: David England| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 88

40/1

No form at huge odds in four runs over hurdles since joining this yard. Hopes rest on first time cheek pieces and step up in distance.

Form: 35U80P

Turtle Cask^p⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: R D Day| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 86| D

25/1

Hasn't won since Hexham September 2017 and did run well there two starts ago though plenty of tame efforts as well and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 0P8924

Agent Louise⁶⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Danny McMenamin⁽⁷⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 81

50/1

Finished last term in decent nick but has shown nothing in two starts this season and not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: P512-76

Lammturner⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 78

10/1

Relatively lightly raced and there could be more to come at this trip. Could outrun her odds.

Form: 58-6P46

Espoir Moriviere⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 75

7/1

First piece of form when third at Hexham in December but immediately went backwards on subsequent run and another with plenty to prove.

Form: 060737

Helamis⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Lewis Stones| T: B Leavy| OR: 70

25/1

Bit better when third from well out of the handicap at Uttoxeter on latest. Similar tale here from 9lb "wrong" but does have minor place claims.

Form: 58-9P73

Forecasts

Wig Wam Wiggle (9/2), Some Can Dance (6/1), Sauvignon (6/1), Petite Ganache (13/2), Espoir Moriviere (7/1), Champagne Chaser (8/1), Lammturner (10/1), Misfits (10/1), Purple Harry (16/1), Helamis (25/1), Turtle Cask (25/1), Mid Day Gun (40/1), Leopard (50/1), Agent Louise (50/1)

PETITE GANACHE has often been backed as though connections feel he is better than shown and he got the job done last with the promise of more to come. Wig Wam Wiggle has to totally convince he stays this far but if he does is a danger. Lammturner may have improvement in the locker and could go well at big odds.
