Mac Tottie^h,t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 126| C

5/2

Good strike rate over hurdles (4-8) and off the mark at the fourth attempt over fences here (21.4f) 17 days ago, jumping well. Needs considering.

Form: 18/P-8P1

Haul Away^p⁹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 123WS

12/1

Four-time hurdles winner in 2018. Below par in couple of runs over fences since returning from a 14-month break and well held back over hurdles 3 months ago.

Form: 47/4-420

Caltex^p³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: R P McLernon| T: M Scudamore| OR: 122WS

13/2

Made winning debut for this stable at Leicester in February but has failed to kick on in 3 starts this season.

Form: F51-588

Eclair Mag¹⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: R Bandey| OR: 121

80/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at best in France but not at that level for a while, so bit to prove starting out for new yard.

Form: FF6-65F

Silver Tassie⁶³

Age: 13| Weight: 11-4| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 119| D

40/1

Largely performed with credit in defeat last term and returned with a fair third at Wetherby in October. Not in the same form there next time, though, and last tasted success back in March 2017.

Form: 333F-34

Ask Paddy^p,t⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 118

14/1

Reacted very well to cheekpieces, improving again when landing 4-timer at Catterick in February. Shaped well there on return and better expected now with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 41111-5

Sizing Cusimano^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: T J O'Brien| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 118| C

5/2

Dual hurdle winner who has shown plenty without winning over fences, clear of rest when second at Wincanton 3 weeks ago. Respected.

Form: 632-262

Agamemmon⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: B S Hughes| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 116| CD

14/1

Regained winning thread at Sedgefield (26f) 13 months ago but not at best last 2 starts, including when pulled up on return.

Form: 72133-P

Ivilnoble^p,t⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: C J Mann| OR: 115

4/1

Well treated and shaped as if back in form when third in a handicap chase at Plumpton 40 days ago, so likely to take a hand if he can build on that.

Form: 5U1-P53

Forecasts

Mac Tottie (5/2), Sizing Cusimano (5/2), Ivilnoble (4/1), Caltex (13/2), Duhallow Lad (7/1), Haul Away (12/1), Ask Paddy (14/1), Agamemmon (14/1), Silver Tassie (40/1), Eclair Mag (80/1)

IVILNOBLE is now 3 lb below his winning mark and looked back in top form at Plumpton last time, so he could be the answer. Ask Paddy shaped well at Catterick on his comeback and rates the biggest threat with cheekpieces re-fitted. Mac Tottie impressed with his jumping when winning here recently and is best of the others.
