Show On The Road²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 118| BF

5/1

Only finished fourth of five at Wincanton this month having gone off 2-1f, but wasn't beat all that far. Given a chance, especially should any rain arrive.

Form: 3F565-4

Full^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 114

33/1

40-1 chance on first start since December and finished last of eight at Kempton over 2m5f on good-ground this month. Will need sizeable step forward to have claims.

Form: 114U0-8

Doctor Look Here¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 114

33/1

Was returning from a two-year absence here a fortnight ago over a shorter trip, sent off 66-1 and duly pulled up. Passed over again.

Form: 7171P/P

Ballygown Bay²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 112

5/1

Maiden, didn't run badly at Kempton this month over similar trip (fourth). Second runner for trainer Philip Hobbs here and looks the more likely of the pair.

Form: P/445P-4

Picture Painter^t,v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 110

20/1

2-35 career record tells a tale, but combination of tongue tie and visor has yielded paced efforts at Chepstow and Worcester recently; may hold similar aspirations now.

Form: 0/90P2-4

Salto Chisco¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: H Whittington| OR: 110| C

12/1

Former course winner. Good second at Wincanton on return in April over 2m4f, though hasn't matched that in subsequent runs at Market Rasen and Warwick. Bit to prove now.

Form: 32423-7

Sizing At Midnight¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 110| D

9/4

Off the mark at Ffos Las (2m5f, good) this month, form that has been boosted by the runner-up scoring at the same track since. Ranks as the one to beat here.

Form: 0P/7P2-1

Pointed And Sharp^h²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 108

7/1

Better effort in third spot at Wincanton (2m4f, good to firm) this month, needs to build on that showing now but has certainly advertised well-being again.

Form: 48F8F-3

Southfield Torr²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁷⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 106

9/2

Back on track when scoring at Wincanton last month (Salto Chisco second); since well held back at the same venue in a novice' hurdle however (second behind favourite). Yard in flying form and makes shortlist.

Form: 22081-2

Silver Quay⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Bryony Frost| T: J D Frost| OR: 105

25/1

Dual Taunton winner early in the year (2m3f, good to soft/soft). Pair of disappointing runs since and has not previously managed to show best form at this track.

Forecasts

Sizing At Midnight (9/4), Southfield Torr (9/2), Show On The Road (5/1), Ballygown Bay (5/1), Pointed And Sharp (7/1), Salto Chisco (12/1), Picture Painter (20/1), Silver Quay (25/1), Full (33/1), Doctor Look Here (33/1)

Sizing At Midnight scored at Ffos Las in good enough style this month, form that has since been franked by the second winning, and Colin Tizzard's charge is favoured here over Southfield Torr from the in-form yard of the champion trainer. Pointed And Sharp and Picture Painter are amongst those likely to battle for place money.
