Modest maiden over hurdles/fences in Ireland. Off 5 months, remote fifth in Fontwell handicap for new yard last month. Needs to come on a lot.

Form: 64-PP15

Avoir De Soins⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 97

13/2

Ring The Moon^p,t⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 87

13/8

Right back on song since fitted with tongue strap and impressively bagged 2m4f Leicester handicap chase only 5 days ago. The one to beat under 7 lb penalty.

Form: 08PF21

Great Tempo^p⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 88| C

Modest winning chaser who has yet to hit form in two runs this term. Mark is slipping but others lot more persuasive.

Triple Chief^p,t⁷⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Bryony Frost| T: J D Frost| OR: 86| C

20/1

Ended last season in a lull and below par both runs this term, remote third in 17f Bangor handicap 74 days ago. Back up in trip with plenty to prove.

Form: 3345-03

Bellamy's Grey⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: M G Nolan| T: C J Gray| OR: 85

18/1

Modest hurdler/chaser. 80/1, last of 9 in bumper at Lingfield 8 days ago. Back chasing up in trip with work to do.

Form: 656-P39

Midnight Calamity^b²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Jay Tidball⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 82

9/1

Lightly-raced mare who posted best effort this term in first-time blinkers when third in 2m5f Fakenham handicap chase. Not the best of jumpers so others still appeal more.

Form: 425-PP3

Leave My Alone^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 80

11/2

Right back on track of late, and gained breakthrough success in 3m handicap chase at Fakenham 26 days ago. More needed off 4 lb higher mark though.

Form: 706P-21

All Kings⁶⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R H Buckler| OR: 79

12/1

Still a maiden after 24 runs but not disgraced when fifth of 14 in 19f Exeter handicap chase in December. Hard to enthuse over all the same.

Form: 5/3U-P55

Forecasts

Ring The Moon (13/8), Leave My Alone (11/2), Avoir De Soins (13/2), Great Tempo (13/2), Midnight Calamity (9/1), All Kings (12/1), Bellamy's Grey (18/1), Triple Chief (20/1), Minella Voucher (22/1), Rossderrin (28/1)

RING THE MOON hasn't looked back since the tongue strap went on so is taken to follow up last week's emphatic Leicester victory under a 7 lb penalty. Avoir de Soins still has few miles on the clock and looks the one to give him most to do after a break, although Minella Voucher is another who needs considering after a lay-off.
