Off time: 14:54 | Winning time: 5m 27.25s

Findusatgorcombe^t²³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: J D Frost| OR: 98

10/1

Back-to-back winner at up to 3m last year who disappointed on each of his last 2 starts, latterly when well beaten third at Taunton (26f, soft) in March. Handicapper has relinquished his grip at least

Form: 611493-

Colonel Keating¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 97

4/1

Point winner who ran best race over fences when 3 lengths third on return in a 20f novices' handicap here 12 months ago. However, not kicked on from that, pulled up on return here last month.

Form: 63/374-P

Sky Full Of Stars^p²⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 93

12/1

Largely underwhelming last term but fell plenty in the weights and stepped up when second at Fontwell (17.7f) in March. However, he's no sure thing to be in the same form on return.

Form: 65P742-

Avoir De Soins⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 91

17/2

Showed little over hurdles and he's failed to complete either start over fences to date, falling first at Plumpton (19.7f) 8 days ago. Remains with potential intact in this sphere, however.

Form: P/007P-F

Timcoda^b,t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Adrian Heskin| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 88

4/1

On a handy mark on pick of his chase form but he failed to see things out when fifth on return at Hexham (15.6f) last month. Blinkers/tongue tie refitted however, which is expected to help.

Form: 2P3F6-5

Big Time Frank²⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: James Best| T: P Gundry| OR: 85

12/1

Fontwell second over 21.6f in February was something of a standout effort, not in anything like the same form at Exeter (3m) in March. Has at least gone well fresh in the past.

Form: 06862P-

Kingston Mimosa^b²⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 80| CD

11/1

Twice a winner from lowly marks last winter, latterly at Chepstow (19.5f) in January. Not in same form at Leicester (20.2f, heavy) final start and he's often needed his first run of the campaign.

Form: U16914-

Thestopperdunne^p,t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bishop| OR: 76

40/1

Little form of worth and others readily preferred again.

Form: P-76767

Muilean Na Madog⁶¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 76WS

11/4

Long-standing maiden under Rules but he's joined a yard adept at improving such types, so, on the back of a lengthy break and wind surgery, he's well worth a close check in the betting.

Form: 72855P/

Sustainable Star²⁹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 71

25/1

Poor form over hurdles/fences. Well backed when a below-par seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) in January.

Form: P8/4307-

Forecasts

Muilean Na Madog (11/4), Colonel Keating (4/1), Timcoda (4/1), Avoir De Soins (17/2), Findusatgorcombe (10/1), Kingston Mimosa (11/1), Big Time Frank (12/1), Sky Full Of Stars (12/1), Sustainable Star (25/1), Thestopperdunne (40/1)

The majority arrive with something to prove including AVOIR DE SOINS, yet he is relatively unexposed at least and represents a yard in red-hot form. He earns the vote to come out on top. Timcoda and Sky Full Of Stars are others to consider, whilst Muilean Na Madog requires market scrutiny on debut for Dan Skelton.
