5/1

Very smart chaser for Nigel Twiston-Davies in his prime. Beaten a long way in 2 comeback runs for new stable but this is definitely less competitive.

Form: P085/07

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 137| D

13/8

Useful chaser at best for Alan King. Two runs this term disappointing but is nicely treated if a switch to Sandy Thomson sparks a revival. Also has first-time tongue tie added to regular cheekpieces.

Form: 355U-0P

Count Meribel⁷⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: M D Grant| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 137

9/1

Ended last season on a low-key note and doesn't appear to have returned in much form either, pulling up back hurdling last time. A 10-week break needs to have a reviving effect.

Form: 26P-U7P

She'sasupermack¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 134| C

9/2

Second chase win (both over 2½m here) when seeing off 5 rivals in December. Not disgraced in the face of a stiffish task at Uttoxeter since and much respected now going back up in trip.

Form: 21-2214

Glittering Love⁸⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 121| BF

7/2

Big improver over fences during 2018/19 campaign, winner of all 4 starts. Form has levelled off since then but his 2 runs this winter (both at Ayr) have been respectable.

Form: 1/F32-34

Bafana Blue^t¹⁰⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 120

14/1

Did very well over fences last season, winning 4 of 6 starts, but has been underperforming lately. A 100-day break needs to have helped.

Form: 4-26695

Forecasts

Dingo Dollar (13/8), Glittering Love (7/2), She'sasupermack (9/2), Blaklion (5/1), Count Meribel (9/1), Bafana Blue (14/1)

SHE'SASUPERMACK is 2-2 over fences here so is perhaps the percentage call in a contest where most of her rivals have something to prove at present. Dingo Dollar is on a good mark if a switch to Sandy Thomson sparks a return to form and he may pose the biggest threat.
