Templepark²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 117

11/10

Winner of a four runner novices' handicap chase over an extended 2m4f at Kempton (good) last month on second start over fences. One to note despite a 4lb rise in the weights.

Form: 32253-1

Cyrius Moriviere^p⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D L Williams| OR: 113| D

7/1

Dual hurdle winner finished 6L second in a 2m5f novices' hunter chase on good-to-firm going here in April. Market support would be notable now switched to handicaps.

Form: 28/9P22-

Regulation^t¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 113| D

7/2

Victorious by 7L in a novices' handicap chase over an extended 2m3f at Stratford (good) last month. Drop in distance shouldn't inconvenience too much off a mark 5lb higher than for that Stratford victory.

Form: 075F-P1

Felix Mendelssohn^b⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 97| D

2/1

Unbeaten in two starts over fences including when winning over 2m1f at Kelso (good) last week. Carries a 7lb penalty for that victory and looks likely to run well once more.

Form: 6672-11

Forecasts

Templepark (11/10), Felix Mendelssohn (2/1), Regulation (7/2), Finley's Eyes (5/1), Cyrius Moriviere (7/1)

FELIX MENDELSSOHN is unbeaten in two chase starts and receiving weight from all of his rivals he looks capable of taking this handicap chase. Templepark was a winner last time out and he can finish runner-up under top weight while Cyrius Moriviere has run well off much higher marks over hurdles and can take third on handicap debut.
