Little Light^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR: 110| D

16/1

Below par this season, including when never out of last spot at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. Has dropped 7 lb below her last winning mark but needs to show more before becoming of interest.

Form: 1/35445-

Pointed And Sharp^t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 108| D

18/1

Completed hat-trick of chase victories towards the back end of 2019. Probably needed the run when third on return at Exeter last month but still wouldn't be sure to build on that.

Form: 4/675F3-

Buck's Bin's³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: T R George| OR: 108| BF

13/2

Point winner who showed fairly useful form over hurdles. Bettered previous efforts in this sphere when third at Taunton in November but proved to be a bitter disappointment after a wind op last month.

Form: 3P74/3P-

Rooster Cogburn¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 103

5/4

Much improved from chasing debut when easily landing 10-runner handicap chase (well-backed 7/2) at Market Rasen (17.2f, good) 17 days ago. Up 9 lb but should be more to come in this sphere.

Form: 4P6P/31-

Only Money²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 101

10/3

Free-going sort who won a Fontwell bumper in early 2019. Showed aptitude for chasing but probably needed the run after 5 months off when fifth over C&D last month so should progress.

Form: 1/48555-

Elisezmoi^t1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100

11/1

Hurdles winner in France. Hasn't helped cause by racing too freely in Britain though fared better on last couple of starts. Dropped to a tempting mark so one to note in a first-time tongue strap.

Form: U2P/P44-

Torrent Des Mottes^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Cornwall| OR: 85| CD

7/1

Showed the benefit of his run over further when regaining winning thread over C&D in March and matched that level next time. Proved a let-down behind Rooster Cogburn last month so must bounce back.

Forecasts

Rooster Cogburn (5/4), Only Money (10/3), Buck's Bin's (13/2), Lots Of Luck (13/2), Torrent Des Mottes (7/1), Elisezmoi (11/1), Little Light (16/1), Pointed And Sharp (18/1)

ROOSTER COGBURN was well-backed and duly showed much improved form from his chase debut when making all at Market Rasen last month, closed down a little on the run-in but basically winning as his rider liked. He's clearly more a chaser than a hurdler and is taken defy a 9 lb rise in the weights. Elisezmoi gets the nod for second sporting a first-time tongue tie, ahead of Torrent des Mottes.
