Tudors Treasure¹⁵

Square Viviani^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 97| D

12/1

Hit the target twice in 2019/20, but he arrives out of sorts, pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Others make more appeal.

17/2

Suited by return to positive tactics when winning at Market Rasen (3m, heavy) in December but well below par on his last two starts. Needs to bounce back.

4/5

Gained breakthrough win over fences in 6-runner handicap over C&D 10 days ago. Hit with 5 lb rise but veteran can't be discounted.

Forecasts

Loch Garman Aris (4/5), Tudors Treasure (10/3), Oscar Nomination (15/2), The Manuscript (17/2), Square Viviani (12/1), Chain Smoker (20/1)

TUDORS TREASURE showed a good attitude when a recent scorer at Ffos Las and is taken to defy a 6 lb rise in a handicap where plenty have question marks against them. C&D scorer Loch Garman Aris is feared most while his stable companion Oscar Nomination could have a say too if fully tuned up after a nine-month absence.
