Off time: 16:25 | Winning time: 5m 55.0s

Discay¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: P A Kirby| OR: 109| C

15/2

Effective from 2m4f-3m. Last two wins have come in 0-100 company and he is prone to the odd error. Can afford no mistakes at this level off this mark.

Form: 767124

Cloghouge Boy^t⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boanas| OR: 109

20/1

Winning point-to-pointer on soft ground so possible he might do better tackling this trip for the first time under rules on handicap debut. Hard to argue he is attractively weighted.

Form: 4/355

King Cool^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 108

6/1

Did not travel well early but eventually won hard held on Kempton return. Failed to get into it in better company at Newbury since but this more his standard.

Form: 2-15817

Acertain Circus³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 106

12/1

Return from a 13 month absence did not indicate his problems are behind him. Having been rated 127 at his peak he is still worth a check in the market ahead of an ordinary race such as this.

Form: 8844/4-0

Big Difference¹²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: C Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 106

13/2

There was some promise in his hurdling debut but that promise hasn't been prevalent in his subsequent three efforts. Off since November and something to prove at present.

Form: 3P50-97

Duffy Allen²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Cook| T: N Kent| OR: 97

9/1

May have needed latest and plenty of encouragement to be taken from his two previous starts. One to note for local yard if there are positive signals in the market.

Form: 6372-35

Jurys Out⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 95

8/11

Escapes a penalty for winning a conditional riders event at Carlisle (2m3f) and revised mark shows he is 8lb "well in" here. Suited by the stiffer test that day and the way he came up the hill suggests he should get this longer trip.

Form: 87-0P51

Simply Lucky⁷⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 87| D

25/1

Landed a couple for Dan Skelton last summer and has struggled off his revised marks since. Off since December and others look better handicapped.

Form: 55F366

Forecasts

Jurys Out (8/11), King Cool (6/1), Big Difference (13/2), Discay (15/2), Duffy Allen (9/1), Acertain Circus (12/1), Cloghouge Boy (20/1), Simply Lucky (25/1)

JURYS OUT is obviously thrown in here as he escapes a penalty for last week's win and the handicapper now rates him 8lb ahead of the mark he will race off here. Discay and King Cool have winning form this term but both are set to face stiff tasks at these weights. Big Difference and Duffy Allen are relatively unexposed having shown some promise, but Acertain Circus would be more than good enough if the market indicated he was anywhere near his old self.
