Off time: 15:00 | Winning time: 4m 51.0s

Stage Summit¹³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-3| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR: 116

6/1

Back over hurdles after a fall in a 2m3f chase at Doncaster back in January. Has won in a bumper and shown promise in first four hurdles start. One to watch on return to action.

Form: 3/0532F-

Unblinking²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 111

12/1

Was a winner at Warwick (2m3½f) back in November where he scored by 6L. Form hasn't quite lived up to that since then. Was a long way down the field at Newton Abbot (2m2½f) last month. Others preferred.

Form: 21556-0

Delface^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 111| BF

9/2

Was successful at Chepstow (2m) on his return to action in April. Followed that up with a third place finish at Ffos Las (2m) when going off as the 7/4 favourite. Up in trip but one for shortlist.

Form: 31231-3

Secret Escape^b1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 109

10/1

A comfortable winner at Cartmel (2m1f) last July to break his maiden over hurdles. Made a return to action following a wind-op at Aintree (2m4f) last time where he was disappointing. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 13273-0

Wazowski⁵²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 107| CD

9/2

Was a C&D winner here on his last start where he made all in an impressive display. He has gone up 7lb for that success but he is in great form this year. Leading chance.

Form: 364121-

Oxford Blu²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Fergus Gregory⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 107

14/1

Had every chance of success before falling at the penultimate hurdle at Market Rasen (2m2½f) two starts back. Was disappointing at Huntingdon (2m3½f) last time out. Continues to fall down the weights so given a chance at this mark.

Form: 7695F-5

Watt Broderick^p,t²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Ian Williams| OR: 105

25/1

Returned to action at Fontwell (2m) last month where he finished fourth of seven runners. Seeking his first win since October 2015. Up in trip but others are preferred.

Form: 880/42-4

Outcrop¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 104

6/1

Made his seasonal reappearance at this track last month where he ran moderately well when sixth of nine runners. Will be much fitter from that run so expect a better performance this time over a longer trip.

Form: 93135-6

Sinakar^p,t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 102| D

6/1

Was fifth of 17 runners at Ludlow (2m5f) last month where he just weakned inside the closing stages. Back down in trip and now at a distance he has won over before. One for shortlist.

Form: 25/P03-5

Kingston²³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: James Nixon⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 96| CD

6/1

A C&D winner who prevailed here last August. Has been very busy since that success and he has won twice to add to his record. His two runs this spring has been below form. Needs to bounce back.

Form: U465P-9

Forecasts

Wazowski (9/2), Delface (9/2), Sinakar (6/1), Outcrop (6/1), Kingston (6/1), Stage Summit (6/1), Secret Escape (10/1), Unblinking (12/1), Oxford Blu (14/1), Watt Broderick (25/1)

WAZOWSKI was really impressive last time out when scoring over this C&D and he looks able to defy his 7lb rise up the weights. He will be ridden positively once again and may take some passing. Delface will be better for this step up in trip and capable of scoring here, while Oxford Blu has been given a great chance by the handicapper at this mark.
