3/1

Wide-margin winner at Sedgefield in late-2018. Best effort in 3 runs last term when 6 lengths second at Southwell (3m) in March. Drop back in trip a help and claims if primed after 6 months off.

Form: 432/3P2-

Bad Boy Du Pouldu^t³²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100| C

7/1

Well treated on his best form but he wasn't operating at his best in 3 starts last autumn. Has a 10-month absence to overcome. Betting perhaps best guide to expectations.

Form: P75/8U4-

The Brothers^p1²⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Cobden| T: R Walford| OR: 95| BF

2/1

Rather lost his way for Colin Tizzard but was fairly consistent in handicap chases for this yard last season. First-time cheekpieces replace the blinkers he wore on final start last term.

14/1

Poor maiden hurdler and would have run to just a similar level but for late departure on Plumpton chase debut when in January. Wind surgery since then needs to have had a positive effect.

Form: FP6P0F-

Shanroe Smooch²⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 72

12/1

Point winner but yet to better poor form under Rules, including a remote fifth on Plumpton chase debut in January.

Forecasts

Captain Speaking (7/4), The Brothers (2/1), Pottlereaghexpress (3/1), Inch Lala (3/1), Hold Me Tight (13/2), Bad Boy Du Pouldu (7/1), Anti Cool (15/2), Brother Bennett (8/1), Dollar And A Dream (8/1), Battleofthesomme (11/1), Shanroe Smooch (12/1), Fethard Flyer (14/1), No No Cardinal (25/1), Gustav (33/1), Keel Over (33/1), Spock (66/1)

CAPTAIN SPEAKING stands out as a progressive type in this line-up and is taken to complete the hat-trick with a good chunk of his further 7 lb rise for Plumpton offset by Jack Tudor's claim. Pottlereaghexpress shaped quite well on her chase debut back in March and can play a part if ready to roll on reappearance.
