Le Coeur Net^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-3| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 111| BF

7/2

Generally consistent sort but dropped out tamely when 5/4 favourite over C&D last month. That came after a break, but had won previous start after longer absence so it is to be hoped it was a one-off.

Form: 22F2-15

Ut Majeur Aulmes^b1,t¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-13| J: James Best| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 107

7/1

Mark has dropped 15lb in three runs this season but that's for a reason as he has looked a light of former days. Something to prove after tame effort again at Southwell latest.

Form: 444-P45

Sky Full Of Stars^p⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 106| CD

13/8

Failed in hat-trick bid at Taunton last time after a pair of wins here (fences and hurdles) but can be forgiven that having raced on the slower ground on the inside of the track. Better that that and clearly goes well here.

Form: 362118

Argyle^v⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 104

9/2

Unseated rider on previous attempt over fences and did so over hurdles at Sandown last week. Claims on best form but comes with risks attached.

Form: 25-U25U

Finnegan's Garden¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 94

5/1

Two wins in the mud last season. Something to prove having been well below best at Exeter recently but previous form this term puts him in the mix.

Form: 1-29326

Yourholidayisover^t¹⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Lady S Brooke| OR: 70

20/1

Sole chase win in 32 attempts was in 2017 and has thrown away a couple of opportunities this season when finding little off the bridle. Difficult to trust and 10lb out of the handicap.

Form: 224F62

Forecasts

Sky Full Of Stars (13/8), Le Coeur Net (7/2), Argyle (9/2), Finnegan's Garden (5/1), Ut Majeur Aulmes (7/1), Yourholidayisover (20/1)

SKY FULL OF STARS had excuses at Taunton last time and can get back on track at a course where he already won twice this term. If his last run can be excused Le Coeur Net poses an obvious threat while Yourholidayisover may be best of the rest.
