Age: 8| Weight: 12-3| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107| D

7/1

Form: 2-73158

Happy News^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 106

8/1

Won twice from 4 starts this season, latest when taking 9-runner handicap chase at Leicester (20.2f, soft) 28 days ago, keeping on well. 7 lb higher now but not taken lightly.

Form: 0U-1441

Ellens Way^p,t¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott| OR: 102| C| D

17/2

Three-time winner over hurdles but still a maiden in this sphere and arrives on back of poor effort at Fontwell.

Form: 525325

Beautiful People^t³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 99| D

40/1

Fair winner over hurdles in 2019 but offered little on belated chase debut here last month and makes minimal appeal.

Form: 1P/16-00

Always Able^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs F Kehoe| OR: 94

10/1

Largely run with credit over hurdles this term, latest when sixth at Huntingdon last week. Has experience between the flags so could well play a part on chase debut here.

Form: 837356

Quiet Penny^t⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 94| D

22/1

Modest hurdler at best for Gillian Boanas but, following long absence and a wind operation, he has offered nothing so far for new connections this season. Tries chasing now.

Form: 5451/P0

Annie Day^p1¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 91| D

8/1

Ex-pointer who shaped with plenty of encouragement on her first two chase outings. Things not gone so well since (hampered and unseated latest) but remains with potential. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 97325U

Just A Cracker^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 88

16/1

Signs of only a little ability in novice hurdles but related to a point winner and could well do better now sent over the larger obstacles.

Form: 668

Stylish Dancer⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 87

5/4

Bounced back to form when readily winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, good) 6 days ago. Can race off same mark on debut over fences and holds strong claims.

Form: 0798/91

R Bren^p1,t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 77| D

20/1

Tailed off all starts, including handicap debut last time and can only be watched on first start over fences. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: FP-6099

Poetic Presence^t¹⁰⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 64| D

150/1

Point winner but temperamental and long-standing maiden under Rules. Hard to fancy from out of the handicap again.

Form: 4P8656

Forecasts

Stylish Dancer (5/4), Agent Valdez (7/1), Annie Day (8/1), Happy News (8/1), Ellens Way (17/2), Always Able (10/1), Just A Cracker (16/1), R Bren (20/1), Quiet Penny (22/1), Beautiful People (40/1), Poetic Presence (150/1)

Recent Hereford winner STYLISH DANCER is sure to have been well schooled for her chasing bow and can take advantage of her lenient mark. Annie Day and Happy News look the likeliest dangers.
