Darlac³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R M Power| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 127

7/2

Fontwell maiden hurdle winner (19.2f) who has a mixed record over fences but efforts this season have been creditable, second in novice (15/2) at Exeter latest. Expected to be bang there again.

Form: 4F5-F22

Realm Keeper¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 125

22/1

Fairly useful ex-French chaser who shaped as if needing run after 15 months off at Chepstow. Again shaped as if needing it after another 10 months off back over fences at Cheltenham 19 days ago.

Form: F62F/5-7

Get On The Yager^p,t²⁸¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 125

9/1

Good third in Midlands National in March 2019 but disappointed last season and record fresh isn't great.

Form: 93/PV52-

Hes No Trouble^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 123

9/1

Irish point winner who landed a Huntingdon handicap chase a year ago but has been let down by his jumping since, including on reappearance after a wind op. Back up in trip now.

Form: 4/U17P-5

Carrick Roads^p,t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 122

9/1

Progressive hurdler who didn't take to chasing last season but got back on track when narrow winner of handicap at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago, responding well to this headgear. Can go well again.

Form: 1/65-2P1

Plantagenet^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 120

33/1

Dual chase winner who stepped up plenty on return effort when second at Kelso (26f). Struggled both starts since, however, and prone to mistakes.

Form: 78-32P0

Forgot To Ask^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: T R George| OR: 119

11/2

Off the mark over fences at Ffos Las in May 2019 but record has been mixed since. However, built on encouraging reappearance when second at Ludlow and respected again.

Form: 7U63-32

Broadclyst^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 118

3/1

Fairly useful chaser who stepped up on return when third at Exeter 11 days ago. Made a bad mistake there so may do better again.

Form: 285F-73

Hugo 'n Taz^t²⁷⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 118

14/1

Attracted support and proved better than ever to make a winning yard debut at Market Rasen (27.5f) on Boxing Day (on back of wind surgery). Disappointed at Exeter in March since but can go well fresh.

Form: 8/52P14-

Putdecashonthedash^p,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 117| CD

14/1

Benefited from the fitting of cheekpieces towards the end of last season, scoring at Wincanton and almost following up at Taunton. However, shaped as if amiss on comeback 11 days ago.

Form: 22F12-P

What A Moment^b¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 115| D

14/1

Useful handicap chaser at best but lightly raced and little form since 2017.

Form: 1/9P6-86

Forecasts

Broadclyst (3/1), Darlac (7/2), Forgot To Ask (11/2), Get On The Yager (9/1), Carrick Roads (9/1), Hes No Trouble (9/1), What A Moment (14/1), Putdecashonthedash (14/1), Hugo 'n Taz (14/1), Realm Keeper (22/1), Plantagenet (33/1)

DARLAC ran well when runner-up in a novice at Exeter last month and looks on a good mark back in a handicap on that form. His stablemate Carrick Roads responded well to cheekpieces and a change of tactics when making all at Sedgefield and is another to consider, while Broadclyst was a good third at Exeter last time despite making a bad mistake around halfway.
