Argyle^v⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102

7/1

Regularly placed in 2m Class 6 AW handicaps during the winter; has encountered soft ground over obstacles of late (hurdle and a chase); 1-30 overall - hardly a winning machine.

Come On Charlie²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 98| D

13/8

Won twice over hurdles (2m2f+ to 2m4f) for the Champion Jockey Richard Johnson; has shown very little in the way of enthusiasm for tackling the larger obstacles (0-3); weakens worryingly quickly.

Form: 11233P-

Here I Am³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR: 97| D

5/2

Veteran who certainly knows his way around Fontwell Park better than anywhere else; on a feasible mark, and ran reasonably enough latest, albeit it'll be a bit of a surprise if he doesn't find at least one rival stronger.

Forecasts

Come On Charlie (13/8), Here I Am (5/2), Canny Tom (3/1), Argyle (7/1), Rendezvous Peak (22/1)

A race which makes no appeal for punting purposes. Here I Am is a veteran, but he's surely a far safer conveyance than Come On Charlie. However, without any degree of confidence whatsoever the tentative shout goes up for CANNY TOM who put in a solid enough showing at Warwick latest, and was also a winner over a similar trip in his Irish days for Gordon Elliott (Beginners' Chase).
