7/4

Overcome poor round of jumping to win at Catterick in December and has performed with credit in defeat since, going down only to a well-handicapped rival at Uttoxeter latest. Leading claims.

12/1

Ended losing run at Leicester last winter. Unable to find the same level of form this winter but back on a workable mark and Brian Hughes gets the leg up. Worth a betting check.

Forecasts

Discko Des Plages (7/4), Caspers Court (10/3), Mouseinthehouse (6/1), Drewmain Legend (15/2), Fact Flow (9/1), Prairie Town (12/1), Kilcara (12/1), Stage Summit (12/1)

This looks a bit easier than the Uttoxeter race DISCKO DES PLAGES was second in on Midlands National day so he's taken to resume winning ways. Caspers Court rates a threat after finishing second on both chase starts, while Prairie Town is back on a favourable mark and worth a look in the betting with Brian Hughes in the saddle.
