Irish Prophecy^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 135

2/1

Formerly unreliable, though has done little wrong of late, good second to subsequent Badger Beers Silver Trophy winner El Presente in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter last time. Respected.

Form: P-12732

Looksnowtlikebrian^t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: R Johnson| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 132

5/1

Is a sketchy jumper but kept mistakes to a minimum when third in 11-runner contest at Carlisle (24.5f) 28 days ago. Unlikely to be far away with a repeat.

Form: 8/4PP-43

Another Stowaway^p,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: T R George| OR: 130| D

15/2

Useful chaser who most likely needed the run back over hurdles when pulled up at Cheltenham last month, but his profile isn't particularly positive.

Form: 6/7929-P

One Forty Seven^v²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 128

15/2

Has a patchy record but was in the process of running well from this mark when unseating his rider at the last at Fakenham (24.2f) 27 days ago.

Form: 15-14PU

On Tour³⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-5| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 128

18/1

Not scored since November 2017 and his jumping held him back on his return at Chepstow last month, getting the ninth all wrong and giving his rider no chance of staying on.

Form: P5/254-U

Generator City³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: B Leavy| OR: 125

80/1

Ex-Irish winning chaser for Denis Hogan but offered little back hurdling for new yard after 12 months off at Uttoxeter 39 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 02541-P

Pontresina²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 123

85/40

Fair maiden hurdler who has taken pretty well to chasing, making amends for his Fontwell demotion when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (2m) 25 days ago. Still unexposed as a chaser.

Form: 22/20-D1

Forecasts

Irish Prophecy (2/1), Pontresina (85/40), Looksnowtlikebrian (5/1), One Forty Seven (15/2), Another Stowaway (15/2), On Tour (18/1), Generator City (80/1)

PONTRESINA made amends for his Fontwell demotion when winning at Kempton 25 days ago and is still unexposed as a chaser, so his claims appear to be strong. Irish Prophecy gave best only late on to subsequent Badger Beers Silver Trophy winner El Presente at Exeter last time, and he seems likely to pose the biggest threat.
