Trumps Benefit^b,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R T Dunne| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 97

14/1

Reacted well to first-time blinkers at Ludlow last time, in front and looking in control when coming down 4 out. Mark is unchanged, so obvious claims if headgear has same effect.

Form: 2-7236F

River Of Intrigue^p,t²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: David England| T: R Potter| OR: 96| D

22/1

Lost his form for John O'Shea but took a step back in right direction from reduced mark when second in handicap at Wincanton on second outing for current stable. Needs to build on that, now.

Form: 54P4-P4

Wizards Bridge^b²⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr C Bickers Price⁽⁷⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 96| D

50/1

Regressive sort who made inauspicious debut for new stable in handicap chase at Uttoxeter 25 days ago. Easily passed over.

Form: 35P/2P-0

Alberto's Dream⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 95

8/1

Potentially thrown in on old form and showed he retains ability when an encouraging third in handicap at Huntingdon 9 days ago. Capable of getting involved if race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 584P-33

Pahaska^h²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 94

33/1

Modest hurdler who shaped as if better for run in a handicap at this course 28 days ago. Didn't take to chasing earlier in her career, though.

Form: 4/8539-9

Mr Palmtree^p,t⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 86

4/1

Built on a promising return (over hurdles) to spring a surprise in handicap chase at Huntingdon 9 days ago. Was well on top at the finish, so penalty might not stop him.

Form: 4223-71

Hurricane Arcadio²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 92

15/2

Modest chaser who was a respectable fifth at Stratford last time but isn't really threatening to defy this mark.

Form: 5P-23P5

Love The Leader^p⁶³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-6| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 91| CD

10/1

Edging back towards last winning mark but not enough promise in either run this season to think he's about to capitalise.

Form: 2246-45

Writteninthesand²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: T R George| OR: 91

9/2

Ex-pointer who showed little over hurdles but offered a lot more encouragement in a handicap at Market Rasen on chasing debut. Open to further improvement for in-form yard, so worth chancing.

Form: 1/9P60-5

Lets Go Dutchess¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Johns| T: K Bishop| OR: 89

12/1

Unreliable type who performed respectably on last couple of outings over hurdles and was placed on both goes over fences last term. Not totally ruled out.

Form: 00-R054

Ring The Moon²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 89

28/1

Runner-up twice in low-level handicaps over hurdles around the turn of the year bur has made inauspicious start over fences this term.

Form: 8225-08

Stupid Cupid^p,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 89

12/1

Back to form from out of the blue when landing handicap chase at Ludlow 19 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Based on her overall record, she's not sure to be in the same mood, though.

Form: 27PP-P1

Some Finish^b²⁴⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 73| CD

80/1

Won over C&D in January 2019 but pulled up all 4 subsequent outings.

Form: P1P/PPP-

Midnight Mustang^p⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 10-1| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 72

18/1

Poor handicap chaser who hasn't won for some time and offered no encouragement at Huntingdon on recent reappearance.

Form: 4P394-P

Ector^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Greatrex| OR: 71

9/1

Poor hurdler/chaser who was down the field over the smaller obstacles in a handicap at Ffos Las on return. Hard to fancy.

Form: 8263P-9

WRITTENINTHESAND has a lenient mark based on his point form and shaped with encouragement when fifth in a handicap at Market Rasen on his chasing debut. He can find enough improvement to open his account under Rules. Trumps Benefit looked in control before falling at Ludlow recently, so he's a big danger along with last-time-out winner Mr Palmtree.
