Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 131| BF| CD

3/1

Multiple hurdles winner who was travelling strongly when departing 5 out on handicap debut in this sphere at Perth (20.1f) last month. Remains open to improvement as a chaser.

Form: 1253-3F

Field Exhibition^h³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 130| CD

16/1

Struggled in the face of some stiff tasks following wide-margin Worcester victory last October. However, fared little better down to Class 4 company over hurdles last time.

Form: 12UP-F5

De Plotting Shed¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: D A Jacob| T: J & S Best| OR: 130| D

22/1

Scored twice over fences last term, at Newton Abbot and Plumpton. Untrustworthy overall, though, and recent efforts leave much to be desired.

Form: 131P-57

Mr Caffrey^p¹⁷²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 127| C| D

12/1

Successful at second attempt over fences at Bangor last year but both subsequent starts in this sphere have resulted in non-completions. Forecast appears to be the stable No 1.

Form: 41PU25-

Before Midnight²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: S Thomas| OR: 126

10/1

Dual bumper/hurdles winner who failed to land a blow in 2 starts over fences during the winter. Opposable back from a 7-month absence for new yard.

Form: 2102/64-

Wishfull Dreaming^p,t²²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: David England| T: S England| OR: 125WS

22/1

Three-time winner in 2019 and finished second in the Grand Sefton at Aintree off 2 lb higher mark. However, well held when last seen in January and since undergone wind surgery.

Form: 21/9328-

Fanzio^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 122

13/2

Made every post a winning one when opening chase account at Stratford in March. Not in the same form since racing's resumption, though, and probably worth taking on.

Form: F221-53

Vinnie The Hoddie²²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 122| D

17/2

Decent start to chase career when second in a 4-runner Wincanton handicap last October but issues in the jumping department have since surfaced.

Form: 5/2U3F7-

Oscar Rose⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 122| D

15/8

Jumped well and travelled strongly on chase debut at Stratford (20.9f) but, having loomed large approaching the second-last, she found little when push came to shove.

Form: 7/146-62

Forecasts

Oscar Rose (15/8), Forecast (3/1), Fanzio (13/2), Vinnie The Hoddie (17/2), Before Midnight (10/1), Dead Right (10/1), Mr Caffrey (12/1), Field Exhibition (16/1), De Plotting Shed (22/1), Wishfull Dreaming (22/1)

The majority of these have something to prove for one reason or another but FORECAST is very much the exception. He was travelling notably well prior to falling 5 out at Perth last time and, unexposed as a chaser, his current mark probably underestimates him. Dead Right is next on the list ahead of Oscar Rose.
