8/1

Been expensive to follow over fences (just 1 win) and failed to build on a promising Ascot return 2 months later when again supported. Well capable if it all comes together back from 7 weeks off.

Form: 4581-76

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 122

2/1

Proved a different proposition switched to fences after wind op/tongue tied when winning at Huntingdon in December. Remains in form, his jumping letting him down at Fakenham, and this test will suit.

10/3

Back to form after a wind op when resuming winning ways in 23f Taunton handicap chase in the mud last month, typically jumping well. Will need a bit more raised 5 lb and back up in class now.

Form: F12-PP1

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 115

9/1

Dual winner over fences around 3m but inconsistent, running poorly at Chepstow last time. Has work to do.

Form: 1P-3P3P

Favori De Sivola^p,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: T Scudamore| T: Nick Williams| OR: 111| CD

2/1

Has proven a different proposition over fences fitted with headgear/after wind op, winning handicaps at Taunton and over C&D. Unseated twelfth when still going fine at Hereford and retains potential.

Form: 58-511U

Forecasts

Premiumaccess (2/1), Favori De Sivola (2/1), Run To Milan (9/4), Putdecashonthedash (10/3), Forgot To Ask (6/1), Onefortheroadtom (8/1), Alminar (9/1), Sandy Boy (10/1), Broadclyst (12/1)

FAVORI DE SIVOLA retains potential over fences and there is a good chance his Hereford blip was just that, so he's taken to resume winning ways. Premiumaccess is another previous handicap chase winner with time on his side and is respected. A big run from Onefortheroadtom wouldn't be a surprise, either.
