11/8

Still quite lightly raced over fences and took full advantage of reduced mark when ready winner of 3-runner handicap at Hereford last month. 2 lb rise underestimates him so leading claims.

Form: 42P/2-P1

Prime Venture²⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: Evan Williams| OR: 134| C

9/4

Yet to win over fences but has some useful efforts to his name, though he ended last term with poor run in first-time blinkers. Headgear left off on return so not ruled out with stable in good nick.

Form: 9/44F2P-

Jack Devine^v⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Dobbin| OR: 128| D

15/8

Useful hurdler/chaser who got back on song after wind op when second in 3m Perth handicap hurdle 50 days ago. Back over fences now so much respected for in-form yard.

Form: 44/22-82

Forecasts

Monbeg Theatre (11/8), Jack Devine (15/8), Prime Venture (9/4)

A case can be made for all three but MONBEG THEATRE remains with few miles on the clock over fences so is hard to look beyond nudged up just 2 lb for his convincing recent victory at Hereford. Rose Dobbin has her string in excellent nick so Jack Devine looks the one to chase him home ahead of the returning Prime Venture.
