Young Wolf¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 138| BF| D

11/8

Winner of 3 of his 9 starts over hurdles and made a winning chase debut at Uttoxeter in July. Lost little caste in defeat when runner-up at Stratford (22.6f) since and remains open to improvement.

Form: 2131-12

Padleyourowncanoe^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 138

4/1

Useful hurdler who made a winning start over fences at Exeter last October. Creditable effort on the Flat recently and should make his presence felt, but doubt he has much in hand of current mark.

Form: 08/14-44

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 134

25/1

Fairly useful winning chaser at his best but jumping issues very much to the fore on his last 2 outings, again pulled up on first start following wind surgery at Doncaster in January. Absent since.

Form: 1P8/4PP-

Beau Du Brizais³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 132

11/2

Successful at Kempton last May and twice placed off higher marks than this later in 2019. Didn't shape badly on return at Market Rasen (23.9f) and while a bit more is needed, he's not discounted.

Form: 42257-4

Vivas^b,t¹⁹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 130| C

5/1

Winner off this mark here last September, but form tailed off thereafter and probably best watched back from a 6-month break.

Form: 155950-

Mr Mafia^p²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: R Johnson| T: M Keighley| OR: 122| BF

13/2

Veteran who scored 3 times over fences last year, including off this mark at Newton Abbot. Runner-up on 2 of his last 3 starts and needs considering with Richard Johnson again in the hot-seat.

Form: PP-0242

Forecasts

Young Wolf (11/8), Padleyourowncanoe (4/1), Doing Fine (4/1), Vivas (5/1), Beau Du Brizais (11/2), Mr Mafia (13/2), Polydora (8/1), Looksnowtlikebrian (25/1)

Ready preference is for YOUNG WOLF, who followed his winning chase debut with a solid effort in defeat at Statford 17 days ago. There should be more to come from this 7-y-o, particularly now that he goes back up in trip. Mr Mafia's form figures when partnered by Richard Johnson read 114122 and he is one of two veterans with live claims, the other being the in-form Doing Fine.
