14/1
Fortunate winner of maiden hurdle at Leicester (20.5f) in 2018. Very lightly raced since, including for new yard, unseating at the first on C&D chase debut last month. This will reveal more. Blinkered

7/2
Hasn't proved the most reliable but he was in good nick when placed in handicaps at Warwick/Exeter earlier this year. Not in same form at Chepstow latest but bounce back not ruled out.

7/2
Sole hurdling win came in 2019 but he dispel a serious of lesser efforts when 9.5 lengths third of 13 at Bangor (19.5f) in April. Now his task is to build on that switched to chasing.

4/1
Has run to just a poor level over hurdles and he didn't jump all that fluently when third of 4 in a Fontwell maiden chase (17.7f) in March. Needs to step up now handicapping in this sphere.

11/1
Some promise when third on sole bumper start. Disappointing over hurdles but was at least still in front when falling 5 out on chase bow at Wincanton (20f) in March. Not one to write off.

Maiden on Flat and over hurdles. Finished well held on the back of 4 months off at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in April and he doesn't look an obvious type to excel in this discipline.

No impact over hurdles and it's similarly been a struggle in a couple of chase tries since the turn of the year.

5/1
Lightly-raced 8-y-o who offered much more than previously when runner-up at Chepstow (19.5f, 80/1) in March, finding only another improver too strong. A repeat should see him thereabouts.

9/1
Poor form over hurdles/little impact first 4 starts over fences. However, latest Fontwell effort over this sort of trip in April was at least a step back in the right direction. Not ruled out.

Forecasts

Nefyn Point (7/2), Bardd (7/2), Go On Brycey Lad (4/1), Gorcombe's Rascal (5/1), Begoodtoyourself (7/1), Ardbruce (9/1), French Kiss (10/1), Sakhee's Conquest (11/1), Chez Hans (14/1), Gates Pass (20/1), Dawn Sunrise (22/1)

Verdict

GORCOMBE'S RASCAL showed much more than previously when runner-up over fences at Chepstow in March and this low-mileage 8-y-o could well be worth chancing to build on that and go one place better now. Begoodtoyourself wasn't disgraced on his latest outing and is feared, whilst Seamus Mullins' pair Ardbruce and Sakhee's Conquest aren't dismissed lightly either.
