Begoodtoyourself^p³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 89

14/1

Point winner who was in the process of leaving hurdling form behind when falling 2 out in Sedgefield handicap on chase debut but failed to back that up at Kelso 5 weeks ago.

Form: 1P4-6F9

Cavalry Scout^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 88| BF| CD

18/5

Ended last season on the up, opening account in C&D handicap in February. Put in an ordinary round of jumping when 14 lengths second on Ayr return but still rates one of more likely types in this.

Form: P/4221-2

Blue Monday⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 88| D

11/4

Progressive at a low level last winter, winning twice around this term. Fell heavily on Perth return in September but major player here if none the worse.

Form: 74131-F

Watar Allstar^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: W Featherstone| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 85

7/1

Improved effort when 7 lengths third in 21f Stratford handicap on reappearance 21 days ago. Ought to get involved again if in similar form.

Form: 08075-3

Indian Harbour^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 80

7/1

Maiden but did at least step up on her first 2 runs over fences when third at Pumpton (2½m) 27 days ago, staying on to be nearest at the finish.

Form: 84-3663

Anti Cool^b³⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 79

16/1

Back to form on first run following a second wind op when going close at Warwick (2½m, good) in September but not in anything like same form at Ludlow since, jumping poorly.

Form: 64-4P2P

Fact Flow^p⁴⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: R T Dunne| T: D Burchell| OR: 78| D

15/2

Largely below par since latest success 2 years ago, faring no better after a wind operation last time.

Form: 0445-5P

Soarlikeaneagle¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: R Rowe| OR: 75

20/1

Has looked decidedly limited under Rules and pulled up on Fontwell reappearance only 14 days ago.

Form: 46355-P

Gustav^p²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Page Fuller| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 74

40/1

Offered little since taking a handicap chase at Exeter in April 2018, his jumping an increasing concern.

Form: PP6-FU8

Midnight Owle^t²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 74

33/1

Little impact since shedding maiden tag at Taunton back in March 2019, weakening into a remote sixth at Market Rasen 24 days ago.

Form: 7/PP5-46

Hume Lough²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies| OR: 71

10/1

Established as a poor performer, albeit his 3 efforts this season have been creditable by his own standards. Gets to race from his proper mark this time.

Form: P5F-434

Some Finish^v¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 69| CD

33/1

Won at Hereford in January 2019 but pulled up all 5 subsequent outings.

Form: 1P/PPP-P

Cnoc Sion^b³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Brotherton| OR: 67| D

66/1

Winner of Bangor handicap chase 2 years ago, his sole success from 25 starts under Rules. Well held both starts this term and easy to look elsewhere again.

Form: 27P5-P0

Take The Crown^t²⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-3| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 66| D

125/1

Fair winning chaser back in 2015, but it's been a while since he showed spark under Rules or between the flags.

Form: 0PFP-9P

Forecasts

Blue Monday (11/4), Cavalry Scout (18/5), Indian Harbour (7/1), Watar Allstar (7/1), Fact Flow (15/2), Hume Lough (10/1), Begoodtoyourself (14/1), Anti Cool (16/1), Soarlikeaneagle (20/1), Midnight Owle (33/1), Some Finish (33/1), Gustav (40/1), Cnoc Sion (66/1), Take The Crown (125/1)

BLUE MONDAY hails from a leading yard and won twice last season so it's worth taking a chance that he hasn't suffered any ill effects from a fall on his reappearance. Indian Harbour, Cavalry Scout and Watar Allstar are others to consider.
