Double W's^p1⁵³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 132| CD

14/1

Back on the up during spring/summer of 2019 but lost his way during the winter and well below his best in 2 starts since returning from a break in July. Cheekpieces applied.

Form: 137P-65

Theflyingportrait^t⁵²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 130| CD

12/1

Successful off this mark at Kelso (17f) last September, making all. Left the impression that he's coming to hand in a Class 2 event at Perth in August and this dual C&D winner needs considering.

Form: 5146-57

Vado Forte²⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 130

17/2

Best effort in this sphere to date when going close on good to soft in a Newbury handicap last December. Each-way chance if able to reproduce that form following an 8-month absence.

Form: 543332-

Master Work^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 128

7/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner who got off the mark in this sphere at Fontwell last October. Has found life tougher since, though, and may again find one or two too good.

Form: P224-23

Amoola Gold²²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 127

4/1

Good placed efforts at Newbury on 2 of his 4 starts last term. However, shade below par there on latest start in February and doubt he has anything in hand of current mark.

Form: 13/3725-

Niven^p²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 127

28/1

Brought the curtain down on last season on a winning note, landing a handicap chase at Catterick (15.7f, soft). 5 lb rise fair and should have a part to play if fully tuned-up.

Form: 723641-

Havana Hermano^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 126

11/1

Left inauspicious chase debut well behind when striking in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter in August. However, let down by some sloppy jumping off this 6 lb higher mark at Kelso next time.

Form: 568-P15

Eskendash²¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 125

10/1

Fairly useful hurdler who achieved a similar level of form without winning over fences last season. Not disgraced back over the smaller obstacles on final start of 2019/20 but more needed here.

Form: 85F237-

Zizaneur²²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 125

8/1

Well in contention when unseating rider in handicap chases at Taunton and Haydock in January. Below par over hurdles here on latest start but major chance granted a clear round back in this sphere.

Form: 0/FPUU5-

So Easy Way³⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington| OR: 135

14/1

Good jumps pedigree and landed a claming chase at Compiegne (17.2f, heavy) last November. Absent since ahead of this British debut but has joined a good yard and 4-y-o weight allowance is handy.

Form: P7251-

Destined To Shine^t¹⁰^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Cook| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 118

18/5

Uttoxeter winner last season and better than ever on return (first run following another wind operation) when scoring there (2m, good to soft) 10 days ago. Obvious claims under a penalty.

Form: P3412-1

Forecasts

Destined To Shine (18/5), Amoola Gold (4/1), Master Work (7/1), Zizaneur (8/1), Movie Legend (8/1), Vado Forte (17/2), Eskendash (10/1), Havana Hermano (11/1), Theflyingportrait (12/1), Double W's (14/1), So Easy Way (14/1), Niven (28/1)

THEFLYINGPORTRAIT is likely to go off at a handsome price and is worth chancing, having shaped with encouragement in a higher grade handicap at Perth last time. He has scored twice over this C&D in the past and is lurking on a potentially handy mark. French import So Easy Way is of strong interest given his weight-for-age allowance, while recent Uttoxeter winner Destined To Shine is feared, too.
