Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| CD

Monsieur Co^p,t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: K Dalgleish| D

Form: 4P1661

Niven^p⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| D

10/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. Fourth in one of these over C&D last February. Ought to be competitive again.

Form: 641-0P6

Skye Chief⁶⁸⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: S WaughWS

100/1

Fair form in bumpers/over hurdles and encouragement to glean from his handicap chase debut fourth over C&D in early 2019. Absent/undergone wind surgery since.

Form: 252764/

Snookered^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: B Ellison| CD

11/8

Useful hurdler who bagged a C&D jumpers' bumper last February. Arrives fit from a couple of Flat runs here last month. Cheekpieces refitted. Likely to be bang there.

Form: 941-34F

Tabou Beach Boy^p,t⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Menzies| D

12/1

Handicap hurdle last winter but well behind Snookered in one of these last year and comfortably held in chase/hurdle this season.

Form: 6139-70

Wynford^t,v1⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: L Egerton| D

25/1

Hasn't shown much spark on the Flat or over hurdles/fences since returning from 14 months off in October. Has a first-time visor replacing blinkers.

Form: 54-7449

Irish Roe³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Ross Chapman| T: P Atkinson| D

3/1

Well below form in 2 hurdles this season but useful in that sphere at best and also a 3-time bumper winner (including listed) at start of career. Beaten at odds on in one of these last year, though.

Form: 23D4-80

Non-Runners

Pull Green⁴⁶

Weight: 11-4| Age: 6

T: D McCain Jnr J: B S Hughes

Forecasts

Snookered (11/8), Irish Roe (3/1), Pull Green (5/1), Monsieur Co (7/1), Halcyon Days (17/2), Niven (10/1), Tabou Beach Boy (12/1), Wynford (25/1), Skye Chief (100/1)

SNOOKERED won one of these over C&D last year and has performed respectably on the AW Flat here in recent starts so is perhaps a safer option than useful bumper/hurdle performer Irish Roe given that the tapeta surface was put forward as an excuse when she was turned over at short odds in a similar event at Wolverhampton last winter. Monsieur Co and Pull Green are also respected.
