Exxaro³¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 105| D

17/2

Unreliable sort and not seen out since pulled up in handicap chase (16/1) at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) 10 months ago. Has it to prove on his return.

Form: 28P36P-

From The Heart^t²⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 105WS

9/2

Winner of 23f chase at Taunton in December but not seen since pulled up in 3m handicap chase at Doncaster on heavy 6 months ago. In excellent hands though and the sort to bounce back after a wind op.

Form: 48213P-

Calin Du Brizais²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 105| CD

11/2

C&D winner but it's now twenty two runs since last win back in 2017. Only fair third of 5 in handicap chase here 29 days ago so others appeal more.

Form: 457-663

Royal Magic^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 105

12/1

Arrives below form, only fifth of 8 in handicap chase (14/1) at Uttoxeter (20f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Mark is falling but he still needs to show more.

Form: P1FP-55

Midnight Magic^t,v¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 102| CD

7/2

Unreliable sort but (9/2) back on song when landing 11-runner handicap over C&D 11 days ago. Up 4 lb and not certain to back this up.

Form: F5-5341

Danseur Du Large^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Gundry| OR: 101

15/2

Back on track with tongue strap on when scoring in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (22.5f, soft) 33 days ago. 5 lb rise demands more but he's in the mix.

Form: P9F42-1

Jack Snipe^b¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Skelton| T: R G Hawker| OR: 98| CD

3/1

Dual C&D winner who arrives in very good form, third of 11 here 11 days ago when doing too much too soon. Expected to be bang there off unchanged mark.

Form: 121-333

Sea Destination^t⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: James Best| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 89

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, pulled up in handicap chase here (21f) 57 days ago. Up in trip but very hard to make a case for.

Form: P1/455-P

Thestopperdunne^p,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: K Bishop| OR: 78

33/1

Yet to make the frame in seven starts, and (200/1) only seventh of 11 in 21f handicap chase here on debut over fences 11 days ago. Back up in trip but easily opposed.

Form: P9P-767

Forecasts

Jack Snipe (3/1), Midnight Magic (7/2), From The Heart (9/2), Calin Du Brizais (11/2), Danseur Du Large (15/2), Exxaro (17/2), Royal Magic (12/1), Thestopperdunne (33/1), Sea Destination (50/1)

JACK SNIPE goes really well round here so this dual C&D winner looks the one to be on after showing up well when third here last time. Recent Uttoxeter scorer Danseur du Large rates the biggest threat, although it would come as no surprise to see From The Heart bounce back to form on his return.
