Some Reign²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Dobbin| OR: 127| C

11/4

Frustrating sort (has refused to race twice) but returned with a mighty run to land Hexham novice handicap chase 4 weeks ago. Needs to back that up here up 5 lb.

Form: R42/43-1

Global Jackpot^t⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 125

28/1

Useful 2m hurdler who matched that form without success over fences for Gordon Elliott (jumping held him back) and has work to do starting out for new yard.

Form: 328-355

Equus Millar⁴⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 124

5/1

Fairly useful handicap hurdler who made the perfect start over fences in 2m Worcester novice chase when last seen in July 2019. Surely more to come if all is well.

Form: 1679/81-

Ballyvic Boru⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: B Ellison| OR: 123| CD

7/2

Step back in the right direction after 4 months off at Hereford last week and took a C&D handicap chase this time last year after a similar comeback.

Form: 3475-P3

Tidal Watch³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 123

14/1

Has established himself as a useful handicap chaser without success but has some poor runs to leave behind to win this.

Form: 4-43457

Cracking Find¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 122| CD

4/1

C&D winner who shaped as if retaining plenty of ability after almost 9 months off here a fortnight ago. On a cracking mark if building on that.

Form: F/4889-U

Cilaos Glace²³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 121

5/1

Won twice over hurdles in spring 2019 and while last season was a write-off over fences he boasts some strong form and could do better in this sphere off reduced mark.

Form: 611/8UP-

Forecasts

Some Reign (11/4), Ballyvic Boru (7/2), Cracking Find (4/1), Yccs Portocervo (4/1), Cilaos Glace (5/1), Equus Millar (5/1), Smiths Cross (8/1), Tidal Watch (14/1), Global Jackpot (28/1)

There is more to come from EQUUS MILLAR over fences and he might be well placed to make a winning return after 16 months off for a yard that do well at this meeting. Sue Smith's Cracking Find could be set for a big run off a reduced mark having shaped encouragingly on his comeback here a fortnight ago. Ballyvic Boru and Hexham-winner Some Reign are also on the shortlist.
