Dolly Dancer^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-3| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 122

9/1

Respectable efforts over hurdles last 2 starts but more needed back over fences off higher mark.

Form: F6-5025

Treshnish³⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 117| BF

16/1

Made winning chase debut at Newcastle (2m) in December 2018 but below par since, including both starts last season. Off 12 months.

Form: 1546/54-

Signifiant^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Blair Campbell⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 117

33/1

Ex-French winning chaser who has shown little in 3 runs for this yard, so has lots to prove.

Form: 20F/8-P7

Mint Gold^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 116| D

2/1

Rather lost his way over hurdles but has made a positive start over fences this season, off the mark at the second attempt at Perth. Could have more to offer still.

Form: 3/356-31

Monsieur Co^p,t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 115| CD

4/1

Doesn't look as good as he was and shaped as if amiss last time, so bit to prove.

Form: 44-4P4P

Beautiful Ben^v²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Kielan Woods| T: L Morgan| OR: 106| D

11/2

Capitalised on easing mark at Southwell (15.8f) last month and quickly back to that level when runner-up at Sedgefield, unlucky to bump into a back-to-form handicap blot. Respected.

Form: 645132

Oak Vintage^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Ross Chapman| T: P A Kirby| OR: 104| CD

10/3

Efforts largely underwhelming last term but made a positive start to the season when collared only in the dying strides at Sedgefield and remains potentially well treated.

Form: 45755-2

Forecasts

Mint Gold (2/1), Oak Vintage (10/3), Monsieur Co (4/1), Lake Takapuna (9/2), Beautiful Ben (11/2), Twotwothree (6/1), Jimmy Rabbitte (13/2), Dolly Dancer (9/1), Lastin' Memories (10/1), Treshnish (16/1), Signifiant (33/1)

MINT GOLD has made a positive start over fences and recorded a career best at Perth a month ago, so seems sure to go well again. Oak Vintage, who was only just denied at Sedgefield on his comeback, and Beautiful Ben, another recent runner-up at Sedgefield, look the dangers.
