Niven^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 122| D

3/1

Beaten 14½L when finishing fourth in a jumpers' bumper over an extended 2m at Newcastle last month. Previously disappointed over fences at Wetherby and is interesting having placed off higher marks in the past.

Form: 672364

Go Long^p⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 120| D

7/2

Fair 20L eighth in a handicap chase over an extended 2m at Haydock (heavy) in January. Cheekpieces worn for the first time that day are retained but likely more needed if he's to take this race.

Form: 13-5968

Pull Together¹⁰⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 114| D

3/1

Making his seasonal debut when finishing 14L third in a handicap chase over an extended 2m at Fakenham (good) in November. Absent since and is one to note having fallen when in contention in this race 12 months ago.

Form: 21/6F7-3

Las Tunas^t⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: R M Smith| OR: 106| D

9/1

Well held fourth in a handicap chase over an extended 2m at Ayr (soft) in early January. Given a break since and market support would be notable off a mark 3lb lower than when winning at Wetherby (1m7f, good) last April.

Form: 10-6564

Ringaringarosie⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: M Todhunter| OR: 104| D

4/1

Four time chase winner including twice at Sedgefield in the autumn. Ran well when 6¼L fourth over 2m1f at Kelso (heavy) at the weekend and is worth a check in the market racing off the same mark in this race.

Form: 211354

King Golan^b,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 102

12/1

Handicap mark is falling following some below par efforts of late most recently when pulled up over 3m at Musselburgh (soft) last month. Races off a mark 5lb lower than for his latest success but best form has come over much further.

Form: 46466P

My Renaissance^t¹¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 97| D

16/1

Victoriou sover an extneded 2m at Sedgefield (good) last August but has struggled in the main since including when 39L fifth at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) in November. Return to this trip a positive following a break.

Form: 71U375

Forecasts

Niven (3/1), Pull Together (3/1), Go Long (7/2), Ringaringarosie (4/1), Las Tunas (9/1), King Golan (12/1), My Renaissance (16/1)

PULL TOGETHER was running well when departing here 12 months ago he can make amends on just his second start of the season. The selection should have no issue with the forecast underfoot conditions and he can see off top weight Niven who can take second following a decent jumpers' bumper effort last time. Third place can go to Las Tunas who was a winner off a higher mark last spring.
