Mon Port^h,t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 102| D

125/1

Lost his way for Olly Murphy and has offered no encouragement for new stable. Easily passed over.

Form: 3F-0477

Miss Amelia⁷⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: M Walford| OR: 100| CD

5/2

All the better for return when resuming winning ways over C&D last month. Still on the upgrade on that evidence so needs taking seriously again.

Form: 21F4-31

Ben Brody^b¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 100

3/1

Overcame a couple of mistakes when an easy winner in the mud over 2m at Warwick 14 days ago. Time gives the form some substance, so warrants plenty of respect despite 10-lb rise.

Form: 8-PP831

Go As You Please^p⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber| OR: 99

10/3

Has taken well to fences this season and added to his tally with a game display at Leicester 42 days ago. Looks set to give another good account after a small rise.

Form: 2212F1

Snougar^b1¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 97

13/2

Scored off this mark last term and looked back in form when fourth in a Catterick handicap chase last time, not quite getting home. Big claims with blinkers on back down in trip.

Form: 761-774

Man Of The North⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Lee Edwards| T: A W Carroll| OR: 86| D

22/1

Improved from out of the blue to score over hurdles at Uttoxeter last December but has been out of sorts subsequently. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 071P-P6

Kapitaliste⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 86

14/1

Fair maiden on the Flat in France but well held in handful of hurdle starts over hurdles. Third when coming down at the last in handicap at Stratford on chasing debut, but needs more.

Form: 7558-F

Frankie Ballou^b,t²³

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 82

10/1

On a long losing run but returned to form when runner-up at Sedgefield 23 days ago. Remains fairly treated for all he's no certainty to back that up.

Form: 223-772

Hume Lough^b1²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies| OR: 70

28/1

Poor maiden jumper who is at least back over a more suitable trip, but remains easy to oppose from out of the weights.

Form: F-4345P

Forecasts

Miss Amelia (5/2), Ben Brody (3/1), Go As You Please (10/3), Snougar (13/2), Frankie Ballou (10/1), Kapitaliste (14/1), Man Of The North (22/1), Costly Diamond (25/1), Hume Lough (28/1), Sheeza Legend (50/1), Mon Port (125/1)

MISS AMELIA has a progressive profile over fences and had a good deal to spare when scoring over C&D back in October so, provided she's fully tuned up, she's fancied to go in again. Fellow last-time-out winners Ben Brody and Go As You Please are the obvious alternatives, although Snougar is another one to note dropping back in trip.
