Ballybreen^b⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 94| CD

2/1

Rattled off a chase hat-trick prior to scoring over hurdles in March. Back to form with headgear re-fitted when making all at Fontwell on Thursday, relishing the conditions. Player under a penalty.

Form: 212-8P1

Tanrudy³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 98

33/1

Running creditably when fell in handicap chase at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) in October. Excuses here since so no forlorn hope.

Form: 35-35F7

Apple's Queen³⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Stan Sheppard| T: R Walford| OR: 94| D

10/1

Lightly-raced hurdler and modest maiden chaser at best but multiple point winner since, including last time (Dec 12).

Form: 1R435-1

In Arrears²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: G F Edwards| OR: 92| CD

16/1

Dual hunter chase winner who offered little after 10 months off when last of 10 in 25f handicap chase at Wincanton. Hampered when fell at first next time. Has work to do.

Form: 5533-0F

Only Gorgeous⁴³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 90| CD

28/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2017, and below-par fifth of 8 in 25f handicap chase at Plumpton 43 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 23P6/35

The Dawn Man⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore| OR: 90| D

12/1

Landed a gamble on yard debut in 3m Wetherby handicap chase in March. Pulled up next time but more encouragement (seemingly needed the run) when fourth at Hexham on reappearance. Not ruled out.

Form: P651P-4

Definately Vinnie^p¹¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: Miss Jane Mathias| OR: 90

66/1

Consistent chaser/hurdler without winning much and work to do after a tame return. Back over fences now.

Form: 44323-0

Don Herbager⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 89| BF

2/1

Modest hurdler who has upped his game since switched to chasing, placed on both starts, and should benefit from a return to this distance. Leading claims.

Form: 099P/23

Get Wishing^p,t³³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: C Gethings| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 89

33/1

Modest hurdler who showed some aptitude for chasing when fourth in a handicap at Bangor on reappearance but failed to complete both starts since.

Form: 448-4PF

Sandford Castle²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 85| D

9/2

In good order and belatedly broke maiden tag in a 12-runner event at Taunton 20 days ago. Tougher assignment up 7 lb, however.

Form: 3-P9421

Forecasts

Don Herbager (2/1), Ballybreen (2/1), The Manuscript (7/2), Sandford Castle (9/2), Episode (10/1), Apple's Queen (10/1), The Dawn Man (12/1), In Arrears (16/1), Mahler's First (16/1), Only Gorgeous (28/1), Tanrudy (33/1), Get Wishing (33/1), Definately Vinnie (66/1)

DON HERBAGER has taken well to fences this season, going close both times, and makes plenty of appeal up against more exposed types here. Ballybreen looked better than ever when winning by a wide margin at Fontwell recently so must be feared under a penalty. while The Dawn Man shaped well at Hexham on his comeback last month.
