Winner of both completed starts between the flags and, with first-time cheekpieces enlisted on handicap debut in this sphere, he left previous Rules form well behind when scoring over C&D last month.

Back to winning ways in conditionals handicap chase at Wincanton in October. Below par final 2 starts of 2019 but claims in an open-looking race if ready to roll following an 8-month break.

Wide-margin winner at Perth in July and had made the frame on each of his 3 subsequent starts. Remains on a workable mark and should be on the premises once more.

Successful off 1 lb higher mark at Bangor last spring but it's been a struggle since and fair bit to prove back from a 7-month absence.

Well held all 4 starts on the back of victory in a weak Huntingdon handicap chase last spring. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking a revival back from a 12-month layoff here.

Runner-up starting out for this yard on second start over fences at Sedgefield in February. Failed to fire back from a break at Newton Abbot but he's probably worth another chance.

Point winner who showed glimmers of ability over hurdles and shaped better than distance beaten on recent chase debut at Newton Abbot. Not out of this, for all that she's 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights.

Forecasts

Coole Lion (1/1), Istimraar (3/1), Packettotherafters (15/2), Robin De Broome (17/2), Bluebell Sally (11/1), Jacobite Rising (16/1), Love The Leader (25/1), Arboretum (50/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on BLUEBELL SALLY, who failed to trouble the judge over hurdles but this point winner made a fairly encouraging start over fences at Newton Abbot and this step up in trip could be just what the doctor ordered. Istimraar has been in good form in recent months and another bold show can be expected, while last month's C&D winner Coole Lion and Love The Leader are others to consider.

  1. BLUEBELL SALLY (IRE)
  2. ISTIMRAAR (IRE)
  3. COOLE LION (IRE)
