Caid Du Lin^t,v1⁶⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 138

33/1

Not disgraced after 9 months off when fourth at Ascot on return but disappointing twice since, including in Ludlow handicap that rather fell apart last time. Visor new headgear for him now.

Form: 15U-404

Fuji Flight⁴⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: R T Dunne| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 134

11/1

Fairly useful jumper in France, successful in juvenile hurdle and bumper in September 2018. Unexposed over fences but starts out for new yard after 15 months off and not obviously well handicapped.

Form: 4F4632-

Billingsley¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Johns| T: A Ralph| OR: 132

28/1

Did well over fences last term, completing a hat-trick in 2m handicaps. This season has been a bit of a bust thus far though, at least completing but well beaten last time. Unproven over this far.

Form: 111-FU6

Flagrant Delitiep⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Coleman| T: R Walford| OR: 131| CD

2/1

Highly progressive chaser who followed up his December C&D win with victory in 20.9f Hereford handicap under this rider, again impressing with his jumping. More to come.

Form: 22-4211

Le Cameleon³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: Nick Williams| OR: 130

13/8

Good record in the mud and opened account over fences in small-field Chepstow (19.4f) novice handicap last month, jumping well. Likely has more to offer and not discounted despite this being tougher.

Form: 21-6321

Aintree My Dream^p,t²³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 125| D

11/1

Losing run is mounting up but had been knocking on the door before let down by his jumping at Fakenham 3 weeks ago. Taking on some classier rivals here.

Form: 2-2522U

Forecasts

Le Cameleon (13/8), Flagrant Delitiep (2/1), Brelan D'As (6/1), Aintree My Dream (11/1), Fuji Flight (11/1), Billingsley (28/1), Caid Du Lin (33/1)

There is more to come from FLAGRANT DELITIEP, who has impressed with his jumping the last twice, and can get the hat-trick up. Le Cameleon won in good style at Chepstow and can go on improving himself. Brelan d'As has run well in some significantly stronger handicaps in the past and a big effort back under Lorcan Williams could be forthcoming.
