Off time: 14:47 | Winning time: 6m 25.34s

Jepeck²⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 130

33/1

Below form on completed outings this season and, while he showed up well for a long way before eventually refusing at Sandown 25 days ago, he's easily opposed.

Form: 44-PP7R

Trincomalee²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Corey McGivern⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Wadham| OR: 125

7/1

Bumper/hurdles winner who posted best run over fences in refitted cheekpieces when third in 3m Southwell handicap three weeks ago. Back hurdling now and no forlorn hope.

Form: 3U4473

Blame The Game¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 125| C

11/4

Has made a bright start over hurdles, and made it 2-5 with 13l win in Fontwell handicap (2m6f) 15 days ago, forging clear from last. Hit with 10 lb hike but not taken lightly in current mood.

Form: 4-31231

Buckhorn George²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 125

10/1

Largely in good form this term until below-form fifth of 11 at Wincanton (2m5f) 23 days ago. Has his first go at 3m now and sort to bounce back.

Form: 1-29225

Bailarico^b²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 124| D

12/1

Landed 3m1f Catterick handicap hurdle in December and has remained in good form, adding Lingfield jumpers bumper victory last month. Sure to go well again back in this sphere.

Form: 615541

Mr Clarkson^p¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 124

10/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler last season but he arrives under a cloud in this sphere after an unsuccessful stint over fences. Others appeal more.

Form: 5-5U095

Moroder²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Page Fuller| T: J W Mullins| OR: 121

3/1

Opened his hurdling account in 5-runner handicap at Fakenham (23.4f) last month, though he jumped none too fluently. This is tougher so he needs to step forward again now upped 6 lb.

Form: 423-P21

Deebaj¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 115| BF

7/2

Fairly useful hurdler who arrives on back of good second in Taunton selling handicap (2m3f) 11 days ago. This return to further will suit so he holds very good claims.

Form: 381-142

Republican²³

Forecasts

Blame The Game (11/4), Moroder (3/1), Deebaj (7/2), Trincomalee (7/1), Mr Clarkson (10/1), Republican (10/1), Buckhorn George (10/1), Bailarico (12/1), Jepeck (33/1)

A few with chances but Gary Moore's DEEBAJ should be seen to much better effect now he steps back up to a staying trip and he can take advantage of a good mark. Blame The Game arrives at the top of his game so is feared most despite a hike in the weights for his Fontwell romp, although Republican can also have a say too racing off the same mark as when a good fifth at Ascot recently.
