Form: F6-2143

Western Climate³⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 11-8| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 121| CD

14/1

Won this race 12 months ago and added another course win in December. Ran poorly at Chepstow last month but every chance he'll bounce back returned to this venue.

Form: 331-41P

Rose Of Aghaboe¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 120| C

11/2

Winning hurdler who made it 2 from 3 over fences when landing a 3-runner 3m course handicap last month with a bit to spare. More on plate off higher mark in a stronger race but still respected.

Form: 114101

A Time To Shine²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 119| BF

11/4

Placed in point before fairly useful form when third in 3m novice hurdles at Southwell and Doncaster. Encouraging start to chase career when second in 25f Hereford novice handicap last month.

Form: 3-332

Mercian Knight^b⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 115

13/2

Fair hurdle winner. Just as good in defeat over fences this season and leaves the impression this sort of stamina test could play to his strengths.

Form: 53-5423

St Erney^p³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 115

25/1

Very lightly-raced chaser who was well held on first 2 outings this season but stopped the slide with cheekpieces added (retained) when third at Chepstow last month. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 31/P-0P3

Financial Outcome^p1,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 113

22/1

Returned to form following wind surgery when third at Bangor in January, but has followed that with a couple of lacklustre displays. Has first-time cheekpieces added to usual tongue tie.

Form: 28R3PP

One Of Us^b⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Nick Williams| OR: 112

9/1

Ended last term under a cloud and hasn't fared that much better this season, his fourth in the 4m Borders National at Kelso very much the highlight.

Form: 10P-P47

Goodnight Charlie^b¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: C Fryer| OR: 97| CD

12/1

Won this in 2019. Shaped as if retaining ability after 9 months off when fourth over 3m here in December but well beaten in 3 outings since.

Forecasts

A Time To Shine (11/4), Volcano (9/2), Rose Of Aghaboe (11/2), Eclair De Guye (11/2), Innisfree Lad (11/2), Mercian Knight (13/2), Tea Time On Mars (7/1), One Of Us (9/1), Snuff Box (11/1), Goodnight Charlie (12/1), Western Climate (14/1), Good And Hardy (20/1), Financial Outcome (22/1), St Erney (25/1)

A TIME TO SHINE lacks experience for a race of this nature but he very much leaves the impression this sort of stamina test will suit and gets the nod after an encouraging chase debut second at Hereford. Tea Time On Mars's latest Devon National near miss puts him very much in the picture along with last year's winner Western Climate. Eclair de Guye would also need considering if turning out.
