Duke Debarry^p1²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-4| J: B S Hughes| T: B Ellison| OR: 117| D

18/1

Fairly useful chaser at best but has had his problems and has seemed amiss this year.

Form: PP1/P-PP

Raecius Felix⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 111

7/1

Dual winner last year but hasn't been firing of late, again finishing weakly at Sedgefield 40 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: P54P5-5

Relkadam^p,t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 107

9/2

Bagged deep-ground handicap chases at Catterick and Wetherby during the winter and bounced back when third at Market Rasen a month ago. On a feasible mark, so warrants respect.

Form: 1254-P3

Voix D'Eau^b,t³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107| D

16/1

Very useful chaser in his pomp, but not the force of old and most recent efforts have left much to be desired.

Form: P8P0P-3

Methodtothemadness^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 106

7/4

Fair chaser who offered plenty of proimise when third to Mah Mate Bob on first completed start over fences. May be able to reverse the form on better terms with that rival.

Form: 8686-U3

Mah Mate Bob^p²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 104| C| D

2/1

Well exposed but capitalised on a reduced mark in game fashion at Cartmel 22 days ago. Not certain to uphold the form with Methodtothemadness (third that day), however.

Form: 443-241

Forecasts

Methodtothemadness (7/4), Mah Mate Bob (2/1), Graystown (9/4), Relkadam (9/2), Raecius Felix (7/1), Voix D'Eau (16/1), Duke Debarry (18/1)

METHODTOTHEMADNESS was behind Mah Mate Bob at Cartmel but is now on better terms and appeals as the type to do better as a chaser, so he gets the nod. Relkadam has edged back to a good mark, so he's another one to consider having returned to form recently.
