C&D winner but prone to running the odd stinker and pulled up in handicap chase here 40 days ago. Others more persuasive.

7/2
Ended last term with win in this event and better than ever to score twice more here this term over 3m. Up another 4 lb when good third in 3m handicap chase back here last time so good claims again.

Much improved when opening his account over C&D in January but (5/1) unable to back that up when only sixth in 2m handicap chase at Catterick 26 days ago. Not easiest to catch right.

16/5
Fair jumper in Ireland but has offered little promise for current yard, tried in a visor when remote fifth of 13 to Shallow Run over C&D last time. Hard to warm to.

Maiden hurdler who offered little sent chasing when never-dangerous fifth of 9 in handicap over C&D 24 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

9/2
Point winner who has shown more encouragement since sent chasing under Rules, good third of 13 to Shallow Run over C&D 40 days ago. Enjoys 9 lb pull in the weights so merits serious consideration.

50/1
Modest maiden hurdler but went with no promise on chasing bow when pulled up in handicap at Kelso (17.1f) in October. Has lots to prove on return for new yard here.

Back from 6 months off and wind op when 50/1-winner of jumpers bumper at Newcastle 23 days ago. Still low mileage over fences so not dismissed returned to this sphere.

Forecasts

Roxboro Road (16/5), Eagle Ridge (7/2), Begoodtoyourself (9/2), Plan Of Escape (13/2), Path To Freedom (15/2), Shallow Run (8/1), Mannochmore (12/1), Izzy's Champion (12/1), Saltmarket (50/1)

Verdict

Point-winner BEGOODTOYOURSELF is progressing steadily over fences so gets the nod on the back of his good C&D third, in a race where several have questions marks against them. Eagle Ridge goes extremely well round here and took this contest 12 months ago so rates the chief threat, although Plan of Escape can't be ruled out after his breakthrough victory following a wind op at Newcatle.

  1. BEGOODTOYOURSELF (IRE)
  2. EAGLE RIDGE (IRE)
  3. PLAN OF ESCAPE (IRE)
