Kalaharry¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Callum Bewley| T: A C Whillans| OR: 117| D

7/2

Four-time winning hurdler, including over this sort of trip on soft ground at Ayr in January off a mark of 107; market should be revealing now heading over fences for the first time.

Form: 045123

Manetti¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Lucy Alexander| T: N W Alexander| OR: 116

10/3

Has won two of his last three over fences including when stepped up to 2m5f (heavy) at Carlisle this month (jumped to his right at times); winning point-to-pointer likely has more to offer with extra focus on stamina now.

Form: 4-4P171

Duc De Grissay²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 115

8/11

Glimpses of ability in short time hurdling and showcase stamina at times; good start to chasing career when 5½L third at Catterick (2m3f, heavy) last month after being outpaced and longer trip should be a help now seeking to build on that.

Form: 3F4343

Forecasts

Duc De Grissay (8/11), Manetti (10/3), Kalaharry (7/2)

Take your pick from this trio as its's impossible to rule anything out. Sandy Thomson and Ryan Mania enjoyed a win with Seeyouatmidnight at Carlisle on Sunday and their handicap debutant DUC DE GRISSAY might be the answer here. He ran well on chasing bow last time, the winner anything but disgraced in the Marsh Novices' Chase since at Cheltenham, and should have sound claims going into handicaps from this mark. Manetti is proven over fences and will appreciate the stamina test while Kalaharry is interesting going over fences for the first time.
