Amalfi Doug²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 132| CD

15/2

A regular around here, winning four times and definitely won;t mind any further rain. Blew the cobwebs away over hurdles here last month and should strip fitter. Can never be ruled out at a home fixture, and has chances.

Form: 113PP-4

2/1

Travelled well and looked the winner at one stage at Market Rasen latest before stamina gave way late. Drop back in trip here a plus, yard among the winners and there's scope for improvement, so plenty to like about his chance.

Form: 0/1253-3

Red Giant^p¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 131| C

28/1

Now back on the same mark as when successful over 3m here in the April of 2019 but came back from a year's absence with a pretty moderate effort at Bangor last month and may need another run or two to achieve peak fitness.

Form: P1/702-7

Cracking Destiny³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Callum Bewley| T: A C Whillans| OR: 130| D

10/3

Good record overall over fences, and didn't run at all badly back over hurdles at Market Rasen last month. That should have set him up nicely for this, likely conditions ideal and has plenty going for his chances.

Form: 1221-U4

Voix D'Eau^t⁴⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Blair Campbell⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 127| D

25/1

Thrown in on the best of his form but he's always been difficult to catch right, even when at his peak, and he's not raced for well over a year. Not impossible that fresh is the time to catch him, but he comes with risk these days.

Form: 7750U/2-

River Frost¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 127| D

16/1

Looks nicely treated on the best of his form of last winter but was never in the contest at Uttoxeter after an early mistake last month, and off the back of that tame effort might be best watched here.

Form: 22344-8

Wolfcatcher^p,t³⁰⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: R Johnson| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 123

25/1

First start for new yard, often placed but a rare winner these days and you've got to go back to 2018 to find his last win. Possible a change of scenery will perk him up and top jockey booking is interesting, but he's clearly beatable.

Form: 4/32343-

Monsieur Co^p,t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 119

9/1

Wins have come over 2m and in small fields, so conditions here hardly ideal in that respect, but he is fairly treated on the best of his form and it was a better effort when a close fourth here last month. Not totally discounted.

Form: 32P44-4

Boy's On Tour²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 115| CD

4/1

Three times a winner here, and comes here off the back of a good effort over C&D when only giving best late on, finishing second. Goes on most ground, will strip fitter and one with a live chance tonight.

Form: 21P25-2

Forecasts

Forecast (2/1), Cracking Destiny (10/3), Boy's On Tour (4/1), Amalfi Doug (15/2), Monsieur Co (9/1), River Frost (16/1), Voix D'Eau (25/1), Wolfcatcher (25/1), Red Giant (28/1)

FORECAST looks the one to be with here. He ran well on his first start for his new yard at Market Rasen, travelling as well as anything before fading late, and the 5lb drop he gets for that effort is most welcome. The drop back in trip ought to suit him, and it looks an ideal opportunity to score. Cracking Destiny looks the danger after a solid effort under a penalty in a novice hurdle last time, a run that should set him up nicely for this, and the course specialists Boy's On Tour and Amalfi Doug can both be given a squeak.
