Canton Prince²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: R Johnson| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 125| D

11/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser. Looked rusty after 9 months off when remote fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f) 28 days ago. Risky proposition at present.

Form: 6122P-4

River Frost¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 125| D

12/1

Has offered little in two runs since resumption, pulled up in handicap chase (16/1) at Perth (20.1ft) 16 days ago when tailing off long way out. Easily opposed.

Form: 2344-8P

Arthur's Sixpence^t⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 110| D

11/10

Thriving since the restart and completed quick hat-trick when impressively landing handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f) 9 days ago. Bold jumper who is hard to oppose under 7 lb penalty.

Form: P/25-111

Alexander The Grey^t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁷⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 103

13/2

Only one win from 31 runs, but posted respectable fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f) 17 days ago. Dropped 2 lb so one for the shortlist.

Form: 2U31-54

Kitty's Light²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 115

9/4

Low-mileage 4-y-o who made impressive winning start over fences in 20f handicap chase at Southwell 23 days ago. Up 6 lb but more to come so he must enter calculations.

Form: 9-7531

Forecasts

Arthur's Sixpence (11/10), Kitty's Light (9/4), Oscar Rose (11/2), Alexander The Grey (13/2), Before Midnight (8/1), Canton Prince (11/1), River Frost (12/1), Scoop The Pot (25/1)

ARTHUR'S SIXPENCE is on a roll and fancied to make light of a 7 lb penalty for his ready Fontwell success and complete his four-timer. Southwell winner Kitty's Light also has more to offer so looks the one to give Kim Bailey's 6-y-o most to do, although both Oscar Rose and Alexander The Grey can make their presence felt too.
