Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 121

3/1

Bumper winner who didn't need to improve to get off the mark over fences in 6-runner contest at Warwick (16.2f) 18 days ago, doing just enough. Should remain competitive back up in trip.

Rose Sea Has¹⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 120

6/1

Weak finisher who went the wrong way over fences last season. On the upside, he's eased in the weights as a result and returns with his yard going well.

Form: 47/FP46-

Form: FP5FU-2

Rock On Rocco⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: T Scudamore| T: T R George| OR: 120| D

11/4

Career best when readily winning 7-runner handicap chase (4/1) at Ludlow (20f, good to soft) 57 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and bold follow-up bid anticipated.

Form: 31/2561-

Carrick Roads^p,t⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 118

16/1

Progressive hurdler who put it all together to open chase account at Sedgefield (26.3f) in November. Disappointing since though, including after 3 months off at Ffos Las last time.

Form: 2P1F0P-

Wagner^t⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 115WS

5/1

Maiden hurdle winner earlier in career but down the field both starts in handicap chases last season. Has had a wind op but enough to prove at present.

Form: 131/565-

Nikap¹⁰⁶

T: N J Hawke J: David Noonan

Generation Gap³⁵

Weight: 11-0| Age: 7

T: J & A O'Neill J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.

Forecasts

Rock On Rocco (11/4), Hazzaar (3/1), Generation Gap (7/2), Wagner (5/1), Do Wanna Know (11/2), Rose Sea Has (6/1), Nikap (12/1), Brother Tedd (14/1), Carrick Roads (16/1)

ROCK ON ROCCO had a bit in hand when opening his chasing account at Ludlow in March, so a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Do Wanna Know should remain competitive if keeping mistakes to a minimum, while Exeter-scorer Generation Gap remains on a fair mark.
