Im All Set^p¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: David Prichard⁽³⁾| T: Mrs C Hitch| OR: 96| D

8/1

Seven-time point-to-point winner who acts on good ground and stays 4m1f. Won for the first time under rules at Taunton (2m7f, good) recently. More needed in this field, but clear place claims.

Form: 33-P611

Master Sunrise^p¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr James King| T: A Ralph| OR: 103| D

22/1

Scored in moderate company over fences (3m, good) at Southwell last year, but not an easy ride and a place looks his best hope.

Form: 261363

Draft Pick^p1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: J Ridley

50/1

Point winner at the sixth attempt. Acts on good, but not easy to see him being up to winning on his rules debut against Theatre Territory.

Form: 022-1P3

Drumlynn⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D Edwards| T: L Harvey| BF| DWS

13/2

Bumper and more recently point winner (both good) who ran well in a Leicester maiden hunter chase (2m4f) in February. Since had a wind operation, and had place claims if that has helped.

Form: 2/13-1P2

Kit Barry^p1¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Charlie Dando⁽⁷⁾| T: David Dando| OR: 96| D

20/1

Ran up a hat-trick in points last season. Held in second over C&D last month, but couldn't reproduce that form last time. Bit to prove, but cheekpieces may help with revival.

Form: 33P424

Theatre Territory^p¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr Sam Waley-Cohen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 128| D

1/4

Yet to win in 11 attempts over fences, but has some decent form nonetheless. Stays at least 3m and acts on good, and it would be a surprise if she is not good enough to win this now switched to this sphere.

Form: 3-24238

Forecasts

Theatre Territory (1/4), Drumlynn (13/2), Im All Set (8/1), Kit Barry (20/1), Master Sunrise (22/1), Draft Pick (50/1)

Despite his lack of a win over fences, it is impossible to oppose THEATRE TERRITORY, who should outclass this field now switched to hunter chasing. Drumlynn, Im All Set and Kit Barry can all do battle for the minor honours.
