10/1

Won small-field handicap chases at Worcester and Newton Abbot during 2018. More miss than hit during a light 2019 campaign, however, and remote third of 4 on comeback at Fontwell last month.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 117| BF

7/2

Bumper winner who made a decent start to chase career when runner-up at Wincanton in January. Disappointed both starts this season, pulling too hard at Newton Abbot last time. Drops back in trip now.

Form: 2352-66

Darebin^v³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 115| CD

6/1

Cashed in on a falling mark at Kempton (18f) in November and solid efforts at Sandown next 2 starts. Has disappointed since, though, and is becoming a sour customer.

Form: 5134P-4

Carolines Charm¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 112

5/1

Chase debut winner a year ago and backed it up in handicaps subsequently. Not disgraced both starts this season but probably wants further than this.

Form: 1355-44

Barman³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 110

12/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler back in 2017 for Nicky Henderson. Off 28 months and well beaten both runs this year 5 months apart, including on chase bow 5 weeks ago.

Form: 2315/0-0

Kiruna Peak⁴^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 98| D

6/4

Flat/hurdles winner and off mark at third attempt over fences at Southwell, responding well to a change of tactics. Career best to follow up at Kelso on Wednesday and big player under a penalty.

Form: 67-4411

Forecasts

Kiruna Peak (6/4), Jaytrack Parkhomes (7/2), Carolines Charm (5/1), Darebin (6/1), I'dliketheoption (10/1), Barman (12/1)

KIRUNA PEAK arrives at the top of her game and this looks a good opportunity to complete the hat-trick under a penalty with most of her rivals having something to prove for one reason or another. The drop back in trip may help Jaytrack Parkhomes so he is feared most.
