Jarlath^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| CD

9/1

Fair chaser who defied odds of 66/1 when landing a C&D jumpers bumper on penultimate start. Similar form when second under a penalty back here since and fancied to give another good account.

Form: 3/45312

Azzuri⁸²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| D

50/1

Five-time chase winner who was struggling to make an impact from a sliding mark over fences during second half of last year. Switch to this discipline needs to perk him up now.

Form: 350688

Distingo^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| D

9/2

Fair hurdler who looked unlucky not to land a C&D jumpers bumper in January. Creditable fifth on Flat at Kempton (2m) since and no surprise to see him go well again. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 0-P7472

Fanzio^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| D

5/1

Useful winning chaser who hasn't been disgraced in a couple of jumpers bumpers of late, arguably going off too hard when midfield at Newcastle last time. Should go well again.

Form: 1P2F46

Kings Temptation^t⁹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: B I Case

66/1

Returned in the form of his life over fences last year, rattling off Uttoxeter hat-trick at upto 26f. Best not judged too harshly on 2 subsequent starts, latterly in Cross Country event at Cheltenham.

Form: 4-111P6

Lantiern^h⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: H Whittington| CD

13/2

Fair 2m hurdle winner who landed a jumpers bumper at Wolverhampton 12 months ago. Disappointed over fences but latest Kempton second in this sphere was a definite step back in right direction.

Form: 41-3702

Marlborough Sounds^t⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| D

5/4

Successful with plenty to spare on handicap hurdle debut at Fontwell in January. AW winner in September and cracking placed efforts back over timber the last twice. Rates a likely player.

Form: 2319-23

Cubswin⁷⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: N B King| D

12/1

Winner of 3 handicap hurdles in 2019 and added to her tally at Stratford (16.3f) last July. Struggled to scale same heights over hurdles/on Flat thereafter but a break may have perked her up.

Form: 312-137

Forecasts

Marlborough Sounds (5/4), Distingo (9/2), Fanzio (5/1), Lantiern (13/2), El Borracho (8/1), Jarlath (9/1), Cubswin (12/1), Azzuri (50/1), Kings Temptation (66/1)

A winner on the Flat at Kempton in September, MARLBOROUGH SOUNDS arrives on the back of solid placed efforts over hurdles at Wetherby/Cheltenham late last year and is fancied to go well on his first try in this discipline. Lantiern ran well at Kempton on Tuesday and is feared, along with El Borracho in a competitive heat.
