Oscar Wilde⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 105| BF

3/1

Winner at Sedgefield (19.3f) in January 2020. Has generally struggled for form this term but could make more of an impact in weaker race than previously.

Form: 15-9534

The Toojumpa¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 100| D

4/1

Good placed efforts two of last three outings, third of 5 at Huntingdon recently. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 62P283

Mount Oliver^b1²³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-3| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies| OR: 82

5/1

Erratic jumper for Neil Mulholland but first outing for new stable (third at this track) wasn't devoid of encouragement. Shaped as if still in form next time, so not ruled out.

Form: 723P-33

Fact Flow^p⁵⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-3| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: D Burchell| OR: 82

9/2

Back to form in headgear on last 3 starts, though no excuses when third in handicap at Ludlow 50 days ago. Vulnerable to better handicapped rivals.

Form: 5-5P233

Bignorm²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: James Best| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 79

85/40

Maiden hurdler/chaser who has been placed on his last couple of chase outings but is liable to find at least one too good again.

Form: 5/7F-932

Forecasts

Bignorm (85/40), Colonel Keating (11/4), Oscar Wilde (3/1), The Toojumpa (4/1), Fact Flow (9/2), Mount Oliver (5/1), Agent Valdez (11/2), Tazka (7/1), Organised Solution (12/1)

COLONEL KEATING has been runner-up on his last three outings and is fancied to belatedly go one better with the assistance of Brian Hughes. Oscar Wilde hasn't been in great form but could benefit from the drop in grade, while The Toojumpa can go well again.
