Le Coeur Net^p,t³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 122| D

14/1

Looked better than ever in landing back-to-back small-field handicap chases at Plumpton (17f) and Ffos Las (19.4f) in November. However, beaten a long way last 2 starts so must bounce back to feature.

Form: UP-1145

Ramonex^t,v1²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 118| D

8/1

Confirmed promise of belated return when successful at Doncaster (19f) 12 months ago. Likely first start since was needed at Ludlow in January but ran no sort of race at Musselburgh since. Visor on.

Form: P2/F1-7P

Sir Egbert³⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: A Phillips| OR: 118

50/1

Good effort when fourth over fences at Haydock but disappointed both starts since, quickly capitulating after getting into contention after a wind op 12 months ago. Down in weights and left Tom Lacey.

Form: 325466-

Generous Day⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: P J Brennan| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 117| D

11/4

Winner of 3 of his 13 starts over fences and turned in his best effort of the season having dropped so far in the weights when third at Warwick last month. Player if building on that.

Form: 80-9833

Grand Turina²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 113| BF

3/1

Returned to form when third of 9 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter and was in the process of running well before departing at the last at Chepstow last time. Big chance of gaining her first chase win.

Form: 25-P35F

Atlantic Storm^t⁷⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: B R Summers| OR: 112| C

11/1

In good heart during the summer and quickly back to form when winning at Hereford in October. Not in same form on both starts since and may have benefited from a short break.

Form: 226125

Mouseinthehouse⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 111

13/2

Dual 2m winner who arrives on back of good second to Le Coeur Net in 19f handicap chase at Ffos Las 91 days ago. Others look better treated, though.

Form: 3P1-132

Full Glass⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Sadik| OR: 110| D

22/1

One-time useful chaser but not the force of old and has made little impact for current yard. Readily passed over.

Form: 34PPP6

Finnegan's Garden³⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Page Fuller| T: A Irvine| OR: 108

10/1

Veteran who ended last term with a pair of victories at up to 17f. Bettered what he showed on first 2 starts of this season when fourth of 10 at Haydock recently, but looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 1-53344

Templier^p,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Mrs K Stephens| OR: 95| C

9/1

Winner over fences last season, and did better than might have been expected when not beaten far into third in a jumpers bumper at Lingfield earlier this month. Player if building on that.

Form: 2F2-P53

Forecasts

Generous Day (11/4), Grand Turina (3/1), Mouseinthehouse (13/2), Ramonex (8/1), Templier (9/1), Finnegan's Garden (10/1), Atlantic Storm (11/1), Le Coeur Net (14/1), Full Glass (22/1), Sir Egbert (50/1)

GRAND TURINA was in with a serious chance of registering her first win since 2016/17 at Chepstow earlier this month, in a share of lead and yet to be asked for maximum effort before departing at the last. She's taken to make amends here and break her duck over the larger obstacles. Atlantic Storm is feared most after a break if able to put a couple of lesser efforts behind him, ahead of Templier.
