Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: W Bethell| OR: 100

22/1

Three-time handicap chase winner at up to 3m in 2017 but hasn't looked the force of old after long time off, blinkered when fading fourth of 7 in 3m Huntingdon handicap last time. Others appeal more.

Calin Du Brizais^v1⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 98| D

10/1

Stayer on a long losing run but he arrives in decent form, fifth of 12 in 25f handicap chase (11/2) at Wincanton 44 days ago. Visor tried now so respected off reduced mark.

Form: 7-66355

Mance Rayder^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: H Hogarth| OR: 97

6/1

Form: 463-874

Out For Justice^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Katy Price| OR: 95

8/1

Dual chase winner in first half of 2019 but yet to hit top form in two runs this term, fading fourth of 8 at Fontwell (26f) 22 days ago. Slipped to a handy mark so not totally dismissed back in trip.

Form: 3436-P4

Furius De Ciergues^p,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Ross Turner⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93

10/3

Low-mileage chaser who has returned in excellent form, runner-up in 23f handicap chase (9/2) at Newcastle 15 days ago. Another bold showing is on cards off unchanged mark.

Form: 6P73-42

Lord Brendy¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 90| D

3/1

Lightly-raced veteran nowadays but he wasn't disgraced after 10 months off when third of 11 in 26f handicap chase at Sedgefield 16 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 88/832-3

Granitic^t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Kevin Jones| T: J W Mullins| OR: 88

16/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2018, but not discredited after 7 months off when fading fourth of 5 in 26f handicap chase at Plumpton last month. Not ruled out.

Form: 0962F-4

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: R Dobbin| OR: 88

Dutch Canyon⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Thomas Willmott| T: W Coltherd| OR: 80

16/1

Dual 3m chase winner last season but veteran is proving hard to catch right this term, only ninth at Sedgefield last time. Others appeal more.

Form: P2-2929

Kapsize^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 78

15/2

It's now twenty one runs since last win in 2018, and below-par seventh of 11 in 19f handicap chase at Stratford 20 days ago. Very hard to warm to now tried over a much longer trip.

Form: PP5337

Poetic Presence^p,t³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: G Howell| OR: 64

200/1

Arboretum^v1²⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Max Kendrick| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 64

150/1

Modest winning chaser at his best but veteran arrives on back of two poor efforts. Visor reached for now with plenty on his plate from 10 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 46P-568

Forecasts

Lord Brendy (3/1), Furius De Ciergues (10/3), Mance Rayder (6/1), Kapsize (15/2), Out For Justice (8/1), Calin Du Brizais (10/1), Geordielandgangsta (11/1), Dutch Canyon (16/1), Granitic (16/1), Miami Present (22/1), Arboretum (150/1), Poetic Presence (200/1)

FURIUS DE CIERGUES looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account given he is much less exposed than most of these and can race off the same mark as when a fine second at Newcastle. Calin du Brizais is a long time without victory but in decent nick so can have a say, especially if the visor ekes out some improvement. Out For Justice is another to consider off a reduced mark.
