Jonagold^t³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 91

7/2

Has mainly struggled since winning at Warwick in September over 2m4f including here last time. Yet to race at this minimum trip over fences and is 5lb lower than that win.

Show's Over^t,v¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: C Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 83| D

1/1

Landed the odds in weak contest at Sedgefield in November and didn't fare badly when second following a five month break at Warwick recently. Entitled to come on for that and looks sure to play a leading part.

Form: 52147-2

Khairagash¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Lucy Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 79

5/1

Has shown very little for this yard including on chasing debut last time. Hopes rest on this drop in distance and first run on good ground sparking improvement.

Form: P806P-8

Mr Lando^t³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: L P Aspell| T: J Farrelly| OR: 78| D

4/1

Front runner who was having just his second start over fences when fifth of eight at Newton Abbot recently. That was over 2m5f so this drop down to the minimum trip makes him of interest.

Form: 786645-

Spock¹³

Age: 14| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Lady S Brooke| OR: 78| D

12/1

Veteran front runner who often faces impossible tasks from out of the weights but not disgraced at Ludlow two starts ago and this a more realistic level.

Form: P6463-6

Forecasts

Show's Over (1/1), Jonagold (7/2), Mr Lando (4/1), Khairagash (5/1), Spock (12/1)

SHOW'S OVER showed enough on his recent Warwick comeback to suggest he can get back to winning ways in this weak contest. Mr Lando didn't fare badly at Newton Abbot and the drop down in distance makes him a danger with Khalragash making up the short list.
