Skipping On²⁶²

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 107| D

16/1

Not the force of old but his mark is starting to reflect that and found only one too good when runner-up at Carlisle 8 months ago. Claims if tuned up for return.

Form: 4P4232-

Diamond Brig²⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J McGrath| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 105

10/1

Won a hunter in 2018 but offered little in 3 outings in handicap chases for Neil Alexander. Hard to know how much ability starting out for a new yard after 8 months off.

Form: 311/4P5-

Rintulla²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR: 102

13/2

Bumper winner who showed modest form over hurdles and recorded and encouraging chasing debut in a handicap at Bangor on reappearance. Should strip fitter for the run, so entitled to make an impact.

Form: 71/P54-4

Louse Talk^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: W T Kennedy| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 102

10/1

Struggled for the most part last season but took a step in the right direction when third at Stratford recently and is potentially well treated if he can build on that.

Form: 3P5P-F3

Lickpenny Larry^t³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton| OR: 100| CD

16/1

Generally held his form after landing this event last season and is likely to strip fitter for his reappearance, so not completely ruled out.

Form: 21422-9

Princess Roxy^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 96

16/5

Point/bumper winner who, after a trio of low-key runs over hurdles, upped her game when third in a handicap at Bangor on chasing/seasonal debut. Form looks strong, so boasts excellent claims.

Form: 70935/3

Absolutely Dylan²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 95

17/2

Dual chase winner but below his best for some time and likely to struggle once again.

Form: 5F4P-50

City Never Sleeps^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 94| CD

6/1

Has taken well to chasing and belatedly opened his account under Rules over C&D 23 days ago, always holding on after taking over 3 out. Should go well again.

Form: 622-531

Get Wishing^p,t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 94

12/1

Modest hurdler who showed some aptitude for chasing when fourth in a handicap at Bangor on reappearance. Dropped 3 lb since and should take a step forward.

Form: P4/448-4

Againn Dul Aghaidh³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 87| D

40/1

Multiple point winner who was in and out last season and doesn't make much appeal after a tame reappearance.

Form: 1PP3P-0

Scartare^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 83

12/1

Long-standing maiden who can usually be relied upon to run his race, as he did when third at Bangor last time. Claims with cheekpieces back on but strike rate obviously a concern.

Form: 32-2333

El Scorpio²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 76

12/1

Modest maiden hurdler who hasn't cut much ice as a chaser.

Form: 366/PP-5

Non-Runners

Royal Act²³

Weight: 10-1| Age: 8

T: S-J Davies J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Princess Roxy (16/5), City Never Sleeps (6/1), Rintulla (13/2), Absolutely Dylan (17/2), Diamond Brig (10/1), Louse Talk (10/1), Scartare (12/1), El Scorpio (12/1), Get Wishing (12/1), Skipping On (16/1), Lickpenny Larry (16/1), Royal Act (20/1), Againn Dul Aghaidh (40/1)

PRINCESS ROXY made a most promising start to her chasing career when third in a handicap at Bangor and the form has received a couple of boosts subsequently, so this winning pointer is fancied to open her account under Rules at the likely expense of Rintulla, who was fourth in the same race on his debut over fences. City Never Sleeps also makes some appeal.
