Cigarettesnalcohol³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: James Best| T: R Spencer

100/1

Related to a bumper winner but didn't show enough at Fontwell on debut to think he'll be able to make his mark in this.

Form: 6

Doctor Ken⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy

6/5

Pleasing start when runner-up over C&D, then perhaps undone by more testing conditions at Newbury subsequently, so he remains with potential.

Form: 24

Overrated Passtime¹⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: Jamie Snowden

20/1

Out of a bumper winner and offered mild encouragement when fourth at Plumpton 6 months ago. Would need a marked step forward to seriously feature in this, though.

Form: 4

Pass Me By

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley

12/1

Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Boomarang and modest hurdler Mythical Legend. Interesting on breeding.

Form:

San Fermin¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J M Quinlan| T: R Dickin

100/1

€18,000 3-y-o, Sans Frontieres gelding. Half-brother to useful chaser Billaway and fair chaser Tiny Dancer, stayed 25f. Dam unraced. Will need more time.

Form: 5-U

Unanswered Prayers²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

9/4

Ex-pointer who hit the ground running under Rules with a good second at Kempton and should prove capable of going one better if there's sufficient emphasis on stamina.

Form: P-222

Blended Stealth^h1⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

33/1

Walk In The Park half-brother to connection's useful chaser Cogry. Has, unsurprisingly, shaped like a stayer on both starts to date.

Form: 77

Long Symphony²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: L Horsfall

28/1

Bred to stay well and, while he showed ability when fourth at Fontwell on debut, he's liable to need more time before he really peaks.

Form: 4

Mixedwave^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: Mrs P Sly

9/2

Gentlewave gelding. Dam (c111/h112), 2m-2¾m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Helpston. Wears hood. Makes appeal on paper.

Form:

Forecasts

Doctor Ken (6/5), Unanswered Prayers (9/4), Mixedwave (9/2), Pass Me By (12/1), Overrated Passtime (20/1), Long Symphony (28/1), Blended Stealth (33/1), San Fermin (100/1), Cigarettesnalcohol (100/1)

UNANSWERED PRAYERS has plenty of experience (ran 3 times in points) and his second at Kempton last month represents the best piece of form on show, so he's preferred to Doctor Ken, who may improve from his debut at the second attempt. Newcomer Mixedwave is another one to note.
