Not Another Muddle²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 138| C

11/8

Has won three of his five starts over fences and ran another huge race when well backed at Cheltenham last month. Every chance this step up in trip will see him improve and gives the impression he's well-handicapped.

Form: 5/11-315

Romain De Senam^h,t⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Lorcan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 137

6/4

Won at Taunton before finishing fourth in a Grade 3 at Kempton subsequently but the form of both those races has been let down subsequently and doubts over well-handicapped he is now are the main concern.

Form: 43UP14

Sleep Easy^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 126

6/1

Losing run goes back more than two years and still only 4lb below that mark. No real signs he's ready to hit the winners' enclosure again any time soon and didn't look like a natural chaser when well beaten last time on chase debut.

Form: 328083

Enjoy Responsibly²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 126

8/1

Failed to build on a promising enough reappearance when tailed off at Plumpton last time. Not always a fluent jumper and vulnerable to less exposed types.

Form: 0-53334

Forecasts

Not Another Muddle (11/8), Romain De Senam (6/4), Sleep Easy (6/1), Enjoy Responsibly (8/1)

It's worth noting how well supported NOT ANOTHER MUDDLE was prior to a fair performance and the Cheltenham Festival last time out and that fifth is the best form on offer in this four-runner event. Romain De Senam may be capable of better at some stage and he can get the better of Enjoy Responsibly in the battle for second.
