13/2

Dual hurdles winner who opened chase account at Warwick last winter. Reappearance effort was respectable and, while he's failed to fire since, this represents a drop in grade.

Form: 31P-265

Sackett⁷⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: N B King| OR: 105| D

9/1

Fairly useful chaser but plenty to prove after 3 poor efforts this season.

Form: 0P3-PPP

Magic River^t,v¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 97| D

5/1

Fair chaser who has been running with credit all season and again just found one too good at Fontwell last time. May prove vulnerable for the win again.

Form: 252442

Zee Man^p1,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum McKinnes⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 97| BF| C

5/2

Looked an improved model when making a winning yard/chase debut at this course in January. Good second on completed start since (fell last time), so looks a big player tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 549-12F

City Never Sleeps^p⁹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 91

11/2

Off the mark at Uttoxeter in October and not discredited on either outing since, third there 3 months ago. Doesn't appear to have a great deal in hand, though.

Form: 2-53173

Annie Day³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 91| D

3/1

Ex-pointer who shaped with plenty of encouragement on her first two chase outings before an underwhelming effort at Hereford a month ago. Remains with potential, so solid claims.

Form: 997325

Amethea^b1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: C Fryer| OR: 75

33/1

Hinted at ability in bumpers but no real impact over hurdles or fences. Tried in blinkers now.

Form: P-686PP

Forecasts

Zee Man (5/2), Annie Day (3/1), Magic River (5/1), City Never Sleeps (11/2), Manofthemoment (13/2), Sackett (9/1), Amethea (33/1)

Following a winning chasing debut, ZEE MAN bumped into one at Catterick, then fell at Ayr on his latest outing. There's every chance he remains ahead of his mark, so he's preferred to Annie Day, who is also lightly raced over the larger obstacles.
