Captain Moirette¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 119| C

9/2

2m course hurdle winner and second over fences here (19f) last season. Yet to fire this term, though, and he's far from certain to have the stamina for this trip.

Form: 421-459

Justforjames^p¹⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-9| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 117| CD

20/1

Won this in 2019 but mixed record since, failing to build on his C&D reappearance third in November when well held here a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 2UP2-35

Another Emotion^b²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Greatrex| OR: 116

9/2

Suited by the step back up to 3m when off the mark over fences at Wetherby (heavy) in January. Jumped shoddily when below par at Warwick since but contender on that Wetherby form.

Form: PP-5317

Ask Paddy^p,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 116| CD

9/4

Completed a 4-timer (3 of them over C&D) when taking this race last year. Has gradually worked his way back to form this season (third here latest) and looks set to make a bold bid.

Form: 111-543

William Of Orange^t²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 115| C

7/2

Five-time hurdle winner who scored over fences at Perth in June 2019. Ended time with Donald McCain out of sorts but showed he retains ability for new yard when third in Musselburgh chase 24 days ago.

Form: 3793P-3

Caventara^p⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 113| BF

13/2

Improved when winning at Kelso in November 2019 but lightly raced since. Well held both runs this term but was in contention until bad mistake 3 out back at Kelso latest. No shock if he goes well.

Form: 5B/1F-48

Strong Resemblance^b²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 110| D

18/1

Did very well for this yard in 2018/19 winning 4 times (3 hurdle, 1 chase) but has pulled up on both comeback starts this winter. Something to prove for the time being.

Form: 135/3-PP

Forecasts

Ask Paddy (9/4), Henry's Joy (3/1), William Of Orange (7/2), Another Emotion (9/2), Captain Moirette (9/2), Caventara (13/2), Strong Resemblance (18/1), Justforjames (20/1)

Course specialist ASK PADDY looked on the way back last time and is taken to land this race for the second year running. Henry's Joy ran very well at Musselburgh when last seen in November and will be a threat if in similar form. Caventara had yet to be asked for his effort when clouting 3 out at Kelso last time and is also respected having been dropped 2 lb.
