7/1

C&D winner was returning from a break when scoring by 9L over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (good) in March. Well held third on soft ground there subsequently and return to a forecast sound surface is in his favour.

Cillian's Well^p,t¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: J L Flint| OR: 107| C

2/1

Improved on return from a break when winning over 2m4f at Worcester (good-to-soft) recently. Raised 3lb for that victory and is of interest having won here in the past.

Form: 71636-1

King Cnut⁴⁰

15/8

Returned to form with a third in a novices' handicap chase over 2m3f at Exeter (good) last time out. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and is worth a check in the market.

Form: 21U073-

Alexander The Grey^t²⁵³

11/4

19 race maiden held strong claims having led at the last prior to falling in a handicap chase over 2m1f here in September. First start since wind surgery on that occasion and is one to note on his return from a break.

Forecasts

Mister Mister (7/4), King Cnut (15/8), Cillian's Well (2/1), Alexander The Grey (11/4), Deise Vu (7/1)

ALEXANDER THE GREY held strong claims when falling late on on his final start of last year and he is taken to register his first victory by taking this small field handicap chase. Mister Mister has been in good form over further of late and he can claim second spot ahead of Cillian's Well who is another dropping in trip.
