Dostal Phil^h³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 138| D

11/4

Fairly useful hurdler who looked an above-average chase prospect when making a winning start over fences after 10 months off at Newbury. Excuses over C&D since and remains one to be positive about.

Form: 21/1P-13

Beaufort West³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Page Fuller| T: A Irvine| OR: 130| D

4/1

Scored twice following a wind operation early last year and made an encouraging debut in this sphere on first outing since leaving Colin Tizzard when runner-up over C&D last month. Should improve.

Form: P/011-82

Grey Diamond^h²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas| OR: 126| D

3/1

Won over timber for Nigel Twiston-Davies and has shown aptitude for chasing, runner-up at this C&D (heavy) for current stable just over 3 weeks ago. Needs more to defy this mark, however.

Form: 1233-32

Esprit De Somoza³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 123| D

6/1

Pulled up over fences on Wincanton return in December but very much back on track when landing a jumpers bumper at Lingfield in January. Good effort in similar event since but may find a few too good.

Form: 0/35-P13

Forecasts

Dostal Phil (11/4), Grey Diamond (3/1), Antunes (7/2), Beaufort West (4/1), Esprit De Somoza (6/1), Longhouse Sale (18/1)

DOSTAL PHIL remains one to be positive about having had excuses for not being able to match his Newbury form over C&D last month, turned out plenty quick enough. He's taken to get back to winning ways. Antunes heads up the dangers having dominated from start to finish at Huntingdon 15 days ago, with Beaufort West another to consider on just his second start for Andy Irvine.
