Goodnight Charlie^b²¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Andrews⁽⁷⁾| T: C Fryer| OR: 127| D

8/1

Has a good record over fences since switching to chasing. Scored for the second time in three starts on her latest appearance at Cheltenham (3m2f). The handicapper has raised her 10lb for that win. One to consider.

Tanarpino^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 125| C

7/2

Prevailed at this track (2m4f) back in March but has been unable to follow that up since. He was 10th of 12 on his return to action at Stratford (2m3½f) last month. Back up in trip again. Others make more of an appeal.

Form: 15-5440

Petite Power^t²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 120

5/6

Was successful at Cheltenham (3m1f) on his seasonal reappearance last month where he stayed on well in the closing stages of that contest. Has gone up 5lb in the weights for that victory. Big player here again.

Form: 5529/7-1

Coopers Square²⁰⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: James Nixon⁽⁵⁾| T: T H Weston| OR: 107| CD

10/3

Is 4-7 over fences where he has been performing well since switching to chasing. Was on for his fourth consecutive success last time at Warwick (3m) but had to settle for second place of 12. Has been raised 9lb but he can't be discounted.

PETITE POWER was impressive last time out at Cheltenham where he was very strong at the finish of the race to take advantage of his handicap mark. The gelding can defy his 5lb rise in the weights here to follow up for his second win of the season. Goodnight Charlie is now off a 10lb higher mark but she appears to be improving all the time over fences so she should go close again, while Diger Daudaie will have learnt a lot from his debut over fences on his latest start so expect much more from him which may be enough for him to hit the frame.
