Off time: 16:16 | Winning time: 6m 55.14s

Unai^p1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 102| BF

2/1

Still relatively unexposed and has made a positive start to his chasing career, finishing with running left when third at Sedgefield last time. Further improvement to come with cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 73-6P33

Stay Out Of Court^p¹²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: A Wintle| OR: 100

4/1

Dual point winner but just modest form under Rules this season, so probably needs more leeway from the handicapper.

Form: 21/6-555

Chase The Wind^t²⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 99

4/1

Veteran who has dropped a long way in the weights and took a positive step when third at Wetherby last time. Not taken lightly.

Form: 3-P7P63

Dylanseoghan^b¹⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr James King| T: A Irvine| OR: 91| D

17/2

Back to form out of the blue in first-time blinkers when winning at Plumpton in March but didn't find the headgear working so well a second time there 10 days ago.

Form: 4-02P15

High Counsel^p³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Immy Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 88| D

13/2

Has struggled for form all season, down the field in handicap at Ayr last time, so hard to make a strong case for despite much-reduced mark.

Form: 579758

Taboo^p¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁷⁾| T: M Young| OR: 70

25/1

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who has been well below form since finishing second at Bangor in November. Returns to hurdling but firmly up against it.

Form: 35-P2P0

L'Es Fremantle³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: B Roberts⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 70

125/1

Has been largely out of sorts for a long time.

Form: 73U5-FP

Shanroe Smooch^p1¹¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Luke Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 69

6/1

Point winner who has looked poor under Rules and makes little appeal once again.

Form: 705-47P

Forecasts

Unai (2/1), Chase The Wind (4/1), Stay Out Of Court (4/1), Shanroe Smooch (6/1), High Counsel (13/2), Dylanseoghan (17/2), Taboo (25/1), L'Es Fremantle (125/1)

UNAI is lightly raced and open to further improvement, so he's an obvious choice to get the better of some much more exposed types, most of whom have plenty to prove. The well-treated Chase The Wind appeals as the chief threat having hinted at a return to form recently.
