7/2

Big-field maiden hurdle winner at Ascot just over a year ago. Very much a chaser on looks and shaped accordingly for a long way before falling 2 out here last month. Likely to improve upped in trip.

Form: 16640-F

Le Boizelo³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien| T: R Walford| OR: 127| CD

11/2

Won this race last term and subsequently scored at Wincanton back in March (left clear 2 out). Shaped as if needing the run (never dangerous) on return at Exeter and should strip fitter here.

Form: 31431-8

Diable De Sivola^v¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Kieren Buckley⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 127

17/2

Useful hurdler/chaser who shaped as if in good form after 10 months off (breathing operation in interim) when fourth at Fonwell last month. Drop back in trip sure to suit and he's a leading player.

One Forty Seven^v²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 127| D

28/1

Has a patchy record but was in the process of running well when unseating his rider at the last at Fakenham (24.2f) on penultimate start. Completed but below that effort at Taunton last time.

Form: 5-14PU3

My Way^p,t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁵⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 127

9/4

Yet to get his head in front over fences. Made a winning reappearance in a Stratford maiden hurdle in October and looked the likely winner for a long way at Wincanton last month. Leading player.

Form: 4266-14

Call Me Vic⁴¹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr Albi Tufnell⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 121| D

17/2

Veteran who scored from 1 lb lower mark at Newton Abbot (25.7f) in July 2018. Did well in points and encouraging signs on yard debut when fourth at Cheltenham 6 weeks ago.

Form: 11/311-4

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: P R Webber| OR: 117

4/1

Consistent during a winless 2019/20 campaign and remained in good form when third at Leicester 18 days ago. Blinkers now go on to try and eke out that bit extra.

My Way (9/4), Igor (7/2), Boughtbeforelunch (4/1), Le Boizelo (11/2), Call Me Vic (17/2), Diable De Sivola (17/2), One Forty Seven (28/1), Mercers Court (33/1)

DIABLE DE SIVOLA shaped as if in good form for a long way on his reappearance (had breathing op in interim) in the Southern National at Fontwell last month, getting very tired over the marathon trip late on. This drop back in trip is sure to suit and he should go very close. My Way rates as the main danger if he's given a slightly more patient ride than at Wincanton, with Igor another to note.
