5/2

Beaten 30L when finishing sixth to a useful rival in a novices' handicap chase over an extended 2m4f on good-to-soft ground here in December. Drop in trip looks likely to suit on return from a break.

Form: 1/622-26

33/1

Three time winner including in a novices' handicap chase over an extended 2m at Worcester (good) in August. Had wind surgery late last year and interesting to see how he fares having pulled up on return to action at Huntingdon (good) last month.

4/5

Impressive 13L winner of a novices' handicap chase at Stratford (2m1f, good-to-soft) on debut over fences on Monday. Carries a 7lb penalty for that victory and looks likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.

Form: 42/8751

Knockmaole Boy^h,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Dave Crosse| T: Jean-Rene Auvray| OR: 122| D

33/1

Beaten 40L when finishing last of three at Leicester (2m, good) on his penultimate start but fared better when beaten just 2½L into fourth over the same C&D later that month. Worth a check in the market on this occasion.

Form: 112-334

Eddiemaurice¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: J E Moore| T: J L Flint| OR: 119| CD

7/2

Good 6L second in a handicap chase over an extended 2m at Newbury (good-to-soft) at the start of this month. Receives weight from all of his rivals and is of interest once more.

Form: 4-41432

Forecasts

Timoteo (4/5), Envoye Special (5/2), Eddiemaurice (7/2), Holryale (33/1), Knockmaole Boy (33/1)

TIMOTEO was a facile winner at Stratford earlier this week and he can follow-up that victory by taking this novices' handicap chase. Enovye Special represents a top yard and should appreciate this drop in distance and he can finish second ahead of Eddiemaurice who ran well when runner-up last time out.
