85/40

Produced best effort for a long while when scoring easily over this course and distance in May despite making a few mistakes. That represents the best recent form of those on show and expected to run another solid race.

Form: P1412-1

12/1

Had some excellent form last season including when not beaten far in a Grade 1 at Aintree. Has been disappointing this season (pulled up twice) but has been given a break and that may have freshened him up. Shorter than ideal trip a slight concern.

Form: 48/20PP-

Pacific De Baune^p1³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| OR: 142

7/2

Shaped well on handicap debut after wind surgery to put in a creditable effort at Uttoxeter last month. More needed to get competitive against some more experienced rivals but interesting chaser who will win more races in time.

Form: 12/1U6-2

Wait For Me^t⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 135

15/8

Won a maiden chase in 2017 before falling next time out. That must have knocked his confidence as he was then sent hurdling where he was consistent but without success. In good form of late and could go well if taking to fences again.

Form: 73U32-3

Kentford Heiress²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 131| CD

5/1

Won a competitive hurdle at Haydock two months ago before landing two chases at Warwick and at this track. More needed against some useful rivals but certainly in-form and loves this track.

Form: 9071-11

Forecasts

Wait For Me (15/8), Romain De Senam (85/40), Pacific De Baune (7/2), Kentford Heiress (5/1), Sizing Codelco (12/1), Beggar's Wishes (16/1)

A chance is taken here on WAIT FOR ME who comes here on the back of some decent runs over hurdles. If translating that form to fences then he looks nicely handicapped. Sizing Codelco has not shown much on the track in recent outings but is very capable on his day and may return fresh from a short break. Romain De Senam has won three out of his last five andd is another who thrives around this course.
