Eclat Des Mottes^v¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 92

7/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2018, and only eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (22.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Visor back on.

Briac¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: J E Moore| T: A West| OR: 91

16/1

Successful over hurdles and fences within a week in January 2019 for Tim Vaughan. However, largely struggled in various race-types since and offered little on recent debut for new yard.

Form: 7009/9-7

Alexander The Grey^t²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 89

25/1

Only one win from 36 runs, again well held after 6 months off at Worcester 20 days ago. Work to do.

Form: 4U665-9

Un Beau Roman^b⁷⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 11-5| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR: 87| D

50/1

Ended losing run stretching back almost 4 years when scoring at Plumpton in November but disappointing both starts since.

Form: 3881P5-

Fact Flow^p²⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: D Burchell| OR: 86| D

12/1

In good form since equipped with cheekpieces, deservedly getting his head back in front at Chepstow (19.4f) in April. Ran poorly at Uttoxeter last time but has claims if bouncing back.

Form: 23331-0

Special Buddy^p,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling| OR: 81

10/3

Good second of 10 in handicap chase (10/1) at Fontwell (17.8f, good to firm) 13 days ago. May go one better if reproducing that.

Form: 5/5FP5-2

Treacys Jim²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Bryony Frost| T: J D Frost| OR: 79

9/1

Bit below form third of 7 in handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f, good to soft, 9/2) 22 days ago, perhaps doing a bit too much in front. Not one to write off.

Form: U0P72-3

Write It Down^p,t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 77| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner who was strong in the market but held back by attitude at Uttoxeter last time.

Form: P5567-0

Triple Chief^p⁷²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: C Honour| OR: 77WS

4/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2018. 7/2, fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Taunton (16f, soft) 72 days ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Jimmy Frost.

Form: 45/0385-

Watar Allstar^p⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: James Davies| T: A Irvine| OR: 75

16/1

Modest maiden hurdler/chaser who is hard to catch right and has shown little spark in 3 starts since the turn of the year.

Form: 3P3048-

Chain Smoker^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 74

22/1

Fontwell win for Gary Moore in January 2020 is very much a standout on his record. Pulled up here 18 days ago and has something to prove now.

Form: 17/PP4-P

Alburn^h¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Armson| OR: 74

66/1

Looks of no account outside points. Would need to see strong market support to consider.

Form: 355/P6-7

Dun Bay Creek^p³³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: R Brotherton| OR: 68

125/1

Little to shout about since scoring over hurdles for Alan King in 2016, pulling up in handicap chase at Worcester 33 days ago.

Form: 6/886PP-

Forecasts

Special Buddy (10/3), Write It Down (4/1), Triple Chief (4/1), Eclat Des Mottes (7/1), Twycross Warrior (7/1), Treacys Jim (9/1), Fact Flow (12/1), Briac (16/1), Watar Allstar (16/1), Chain Smoker (22/1), Alexander The Grey (25/1), Un Beau Roman (50/1), Alburn (66/1), Dun Bay Creek (125/1)

SPECIAL BUDDY got back on track when runner-up to an unexposed one at Fontwell 13 days ago, so he's given the chance to go one better here. Twycross Warrior is much respected on his chasing debut having proven to be a consistent performer over hurdles, while Treacys Jim raced a bit too keenly out in front at Fakenham last time and is not one to write off.
