9/2

A winning Irish pointer earlier in his career who shaped well switched to chasing when second to a thriving one in 19.2f handicap at Catterick last month. Entitled to improve.

Form: P1/P562

Tazka⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 105

13/2

Made second chase start a winning one at Fontwell in September, but somewhat disappointing since, including in a jumpers bumper at Lingfield a couple of months ago. Back up in trip after a break.

Form: 5P-U156

Rostello^p³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 104

6/1

Fairly useful form over hurdles in France but has been disappointing for current yard, weakening when unseating 4 out in handicap chase at Chepstow last time.

Form: 45-823U

Kapdad¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 104

11/1

Runner-up 3 times over hurdles in 2017/18, but was a remote fourth in Fakenham selling handicap on return from a long absence in October. Unseated his rider fifth on Leicester chasing bow 5 months on.

Form: 2207/4U

Lough Ryn^t⁹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 101

14/1

Didn't shaped too badly back from a long absence at Hereford in November, but ran poorly when failing to justify support at Fontwell next time. Given a 3-month break ahead of this switch to chasing.

Form: 5690/66

Vital Sign³⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: James Davies| T: R Rowe| OR: 98

33/1

Maiden pointer who has shown just a modest level of form over hurdles so far, pulled up at Fontwell when last seen 12 months ago. Others make more appeal on chase debut.

Form: 59470P-

Invincible Cave^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 96| C

4/1

Tricky customer who rejuvenated when landing back-to-back handicap hurdles at up to 25f in November. Off the mark in this sphere at Fakenham in January and ran at least as well in defeat at Fontwell.

Form: 113P13

Eurkash^h⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Page Fuller| T: P R Webber| OR: 95

12/1

Built on chasing debut promise to open his account in 17f handicap chase at Bangor in November. Respectable fourth here next time but found his good run coming to a halt at Warwick last month.

Form: 6-83140

Larcadio^t1²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: P Henderson| OR: 90

12/1

Winning Irish pointer who achieved a fair level of form over hurdles last term. However, while reappearance/chase debut at Stratford was fair, his 3 subsequent efforts have been poor. Tongue strap on.

Form: 58-5PPP

Streets Of London¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Matthew Batchelor| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR: 90| D

80/1

Well held in maiden/novice hurdles under Rules but is a prolific point winner so may fare better now sent chasing.

Form: 1332-00

Kalarika^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 84

33/1

Modest handicap hurdler who hasn't shown any worthwhile form for a good while now, so has lots to prove on this second chase start.

Form: 1/P7-8P0

Clondaw Robin^p⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: M Goldstein| T: A Irvine| OR: 78

7/1

Modest chaser who stepped up on his reappearance when runner-up in 2m Lingfield handicap chase in December. However, wasn't in the same form here 8 weeks later.

Form: 4PP-323

Forecasts

Invincible Cave (4/1), Fleck Ivy (9/2), Rostello (6/1), Tazka (13/2), Clondaw Robin (7/1), Kapdad (11/1), Eurkash (12/1), Larcadio (12/1), Lough Ryn (14/1), Kalarika (33/1), Vital Sign (33/1), Streets Of London (80/1)

FLECK IVY made a solid start to his chasing career behind a thriving one at Catterick last month and looks the type to progress, so he makes quite a bit of appeal. Invincible Cave has been let down by his attitude in the past, but is doing little wrong at present.
