Don Lami^b1,t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 120| D

11/2

Sprang a surprise after 18 months off when scoring on chasing bow at Taunton last November. First run since when pulled in first-time tongue strap at Ludlow last month and now tried in blinkers.

Form: 3712/1-P

Garrane^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott| OR: 116

10/3

Dual hurdles winner, but yet to get his head in front following a dozen attempts in this sphere. On the upside, he has performed well both starts this season and has edged down to a workable mark.

Form: 737P-34

Benevolentdictator¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 111

10/11

Signs of ability over hurdles last term and immediate improvement switched to fences when landing a Lingfield handicap (2½m) on return last month. 6 lb rise fair and this trip should be within range.

Form: 99344-1

Fizzlestix^t²⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 102| CD

7/1

Left chase debut behind when justifying support in a first-time tongue strap at Plumpton over C&D in March. However, pulled up over hurdles later that month and absent since.

Form: 65P01P-

Dylanseoghan^p²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Page Fuller| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 91

14/1

Ended 2019/20 campaign in the wilderness and neither effort this term suggests that a revival is imminent. 3 lb 'wrong' at the weights.

Form: 2454-02

Forecasts

Benevolentdictator (10/11), Garrane (10/3), Don Lami (11/2), Fizzlestix (7/1), Dylanseoghan (14/1)

BENEVOLENTDICTATOR stepped up on his hurdling exploits when making a successful chase debut at Lingfield and, with improvement likely now faced with a stiffer test, he is much the most likely winner. Second choice is Garrane, who has posted more good efforts than bad ones since switched to fences. Don Lami's reappearance effort was inauspicious, but he's clearly talented and is best of the rest.
