Blue Kascade¹⁵⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Rachel McDonald⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Thomson| OR: 110| CD

20/1

Experienced chaser who has won six times over fences, with two of those victories coming over this C&D. Has been disappointing on his last four starts. Is now 6lb below his last winning mark. Can't be discounted.

Form: P2U-P55

Prince Dundee^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Blair Campbell⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 105| BF| D

7/2

Recorded back-to-back wins over fences at Hexham (3m) earlier this year. Since then he has finished second on all four of his outings. Should be in the mix again so one for the shortlist.

Form: 11-2222

The Road Home^p,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 104| BF| C| D

8/1

Yet to score in five attempts over fences. He was running consistently well without success earlier this year. Unseated his rider last time at this course (2m4½f) when travelling well with five fences to go. One to consider.

Form: P232-PU

3/1

Scored by 7L on his last appearance on the track in a hurdles contest over 3m here. He came back lame on his sole chase start at Hexham (3m) on his penultimate start. Leading contender.

Form: 4323-61

Attention Please^p⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 96| CD

5/1

Has won twice at this track, including a C&D success back in December 2018. Finished fifth of nine on his latest attempt at Ayr (3m). Is down 1lb. Can't discount on his return to a course he enjoys.

Form: 251P-P5

Unchago^t⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: D R Fox| T: M M McNiff| OR: 94

10/1

Is still a maiden after 15 appearances. He was fourth of 11 on his latest start over fences at Downpatrick (2m7½f). Would prefer drying out ground. One to think about from his latest mark.

Form: 642734

Simply Mani³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Henry Brooke| T: P D Niven| OR: 92

9/1

Still looking for his first success. Returned to fences last time at this course (2m4½f) where he was sixth of 10 runners. Is back up in trip and down 3lb in the weights. Others appeal more though.

Form: 543376

Eagle Ridge³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Lucy Alexander| T: N W Alexander| OR: 92

8/1

Yet to prevail on the track but he did not fare badly on his latest start as he was third of 10 at this course (2m4½f) on his case debut. Handicapper has raised him 3lb but he is open to improvement. Worth considering.

Form: P/7870-3

Dun Faw Good⁸²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: J Walton| OR: 91| CD

11/1

A C&D winner here but he has yet to prevail since getting his nose in front at Cartmel (3m1½f) in July 2018. Latest two efforts at Kelso offer some encouragement. Has each-way claims.

Form: 524034

Lovely Schtuff¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: R D Day| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 85| D

12/1

A point-to-point winner who is still looking for his first success under Rules after 14 races. He was pulled up last time at Sedgefield (2m½f). Has been eased 5lb but others are preferred.

Form: U0-205P

Some Ambition^t³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 77

50/1

Has shown very few signs in his 13 appearances that his first victory is close by. He was a long way behind on his latest effort at Ayr (2m4½f) when he was fifth of eight. Hard to make a case for.

CHANCEANOTHERFIVE was impressive over hurdles last time over this distance at this track and he can transfer that form to fences here. His sole chase start can be ignored as he was reported lame after that race. Prince Dundee has finished second on his last four starts and he may once again have to settle for the runner up spot from the same mark as his recent near miss at Hexham, while The Road Home was going well before ejecting his jockey at the fifth fence from home last time but take him to fill the placings on his return to action.
