10/3

Disappointed in two starts since winning over C&D on soft ground off an 11lb lower mark here in December. Drops in grade here having finished down the field in a Grade 2 novice event at Warwick (3m, soft) last time out.

5/1

Showed good form when runner-up over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow (soft) on seasonal debut in December. Below that form upped to an extended 3m2f at Cheltenham (soft) subsequently and the drop in trip is a positive in this contest.

Form: 6514-26

Bobo Mac^p⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Adrian Heskin| T: T Symonds| OR: 134| C

4/1

Victorious over an extended 3m1f on soft ground here in November and finished a good second over 3m here subsequently. Interesting down in grade having been beaten 41L in a Grade 3 handicap at Warwick (3m5f, soft) last month.

Form: 085-127

Cap St Vincent²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 131| C

3/1

Successful twice this campaign most recently by a head in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Taunton (soft) at the start of this month.. Raised 5lb for that victory and holds strong claims once more.

Form: 3-18461

12/1

Struggled in two starts this campaign including when pulled up in a handicap chase over an extended 3m4f at Haydock (good-to-soft) in November. Others make more appeal on return from a break.

Form: 122-95P

Head To The Stars⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Hugh Nugent⁽⁵⁾| T: H D Daly| OR: 126

4/1

Performed well when 1L second in a heavy ground handicap chase over 3m at Bangor at the end of November. Drop in grade a positive following a 32L sixth in a Grade 3 over 3m5f at Warwick (soft) last time out.

Form: 5-43F26

Forecasts

Cap St Vincent (3/1), Roll Again (10/3), Head To The Stars (4/1), Bobo Mac (4/1), Another Venture (5/1), Station Master (12/1)

HEAD TO THE STARS receives weight from all of his rivals here and he can register a victory dropping in trip in this competitive looking handicap chase. Cap St Vincent was a winner last time out and he can finish runner-up off his revised mark while third place can go to Roll Again who carries top weight and was a winner over 3m here earlier this season.
