7/1

Has failed to build on Kelso chasing debut second, only fourth of 7 in 20f handicap chase (7/1) at Hexham 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Snougar^p1¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁶⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 99

14/1

Made winning start over fences at Wetherby (2m) back in March but yet to hit form in two runs this term, seventh of 10 in 17f handicap chase at Bangor 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on with it to prove.

Form: 8761-77

Relkadam^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: T D Easterby| OR: 98

13/2

Retried in headgear when laboured fifth of 10 in 17f handicap chase here 13 days ago. Up in trip and sort to bounce back so not ruled out in bid for a first victory.

Form: P/44-445

Barrys Jack²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Danny McMenamin| T: B Ellison| OR: 98

4/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2017, and only fifth of 8 in 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter 20 days ago. Back chasing now with others preferred.

Form: 543/285

Goldencard^b²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 94

4/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019, but he arrives on back of excellent second of 7 in 2m handicap chase at Fakenham 28 days ago. Sure to go well again nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 904822

Loco Coco⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: C Brace| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 92

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who (10/3) shaped well after 11 months off when fourth of 6 in 20f handicap chase at Huntingdon on debut over fences. Still unexposed, so rates interesting contender.

Form: 31/507-4

Gouet Des Bruyeres^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Ross Turner⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 98

12/1

Ex-French gelding who has offered little both starts over fences this term at Chepstow and Market Rasen. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 630-085

King Golan²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 89

9/2

Arrives on a long losing run but he recoreded creditable third of 12 in 19f handicap chase (9/1) at Market Rasen 25 days ago. Merits consideration off same mark.

Form: P08P23

Two Hoots^b1,t⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Sam Coltherd| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 79| D

50/1

Failed to complete for the third start in a row when pulled up in 21f handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. Blinkers reached for now with questions to answer.

Form: 4P2P-PP

Rajapur^p,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Thomas Willmott| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 74

40/1

Poor hurdler who faced stiff task when last of 4 in 20f novice chase at Ayr (150/1) on debut over fences 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut with plenty to find.

Form: 4P/PP-04

Forecasts

Goldencard (4/1), Barrys Jack (4/1), King Golan (9/2), Loco Coco (6/1), Relkadam (13/2), Don't Need To Know (7/1), Gouet Des Bruyeres (12/1), Snougar (14/1), Rajapur (40/1), Two Hoots (50/1)

A few of these have question marks against them so at the likely prices LOCO COCO is worth siding with to build on the promise shown when fourth on his Huntingdon chasing bow. Goldencard is sure to make his presence felt if backing up his recent Fakenham second, with Relkadam also weighted to have a say if shrugging off a modest recent fifth here.
