Debden Bank^p¹⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 99

11/1

Relished a switch to chasing in the winter, scoring at Stratford in November, then following up at Southwell the following month, so obvious claims if he's ready to go after 6 months off.

Imperial Nemesis⁹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 97

20/1

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser with a bit of a hit-or-miss profile. Badly out of sorts when last seen, but well handicapped if 3-month break has freshened him up.

Form: 2P/P27P-

Lough Salt²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: J Kington| T: P Winks| OR: 95

50/1

Unreliable individual who went with no enthusiasm in a first-time visor when last at Fakenham on recent reappearance. Easily passed over.

Form: 3P2PP-0

Caviciana³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 93

11/2

Fair maiden hurdler who shaped as if she'd strip fitter for her fourth at Southwell a month ago. Likely to take to chasing, so worth considering if strong in the betting.

Form: 3333P-4

The Manuscript^b²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: T Scudamore| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 93| D

40/1

Suited by return to positive tactics when winning at Market Rasen (3m, heavy) in December but well below par subsequently. Hard to fancy despite refitting of blinkers.

Form: P15P-8P

King Golan^b¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 93| BF| D

1/1

Justified strong market support when landing a conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle on debut for this yard at Huntingdon. Shaped best off same mark next time, so strongly considered back over fences.

Form: 3PP4-12

Master Sunrise^b³⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr James King⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 87| CD

20/1

Modest/unreliable chaser who hasn't been seen for 19 months. Given a chance by handicapper, but difficult to know if he retains any ability.

Form: 358/51-1

Arthur's Reuben^p,t⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: James Davies| T: S Curran| OR: 85| BF

15/2

Produced a trio of at least respectable efforts on the back of a Chepstow win in March. This isn't much of a race, so he's likely to be thereabouts again.

Form: 4P122-4

Flying Garry^t¹⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 83

16/1

Limited sort who offered little on his sole previous go at chasing. Hard to make a case for back from 6 months off.

Form: 52PP/95-

This Breac^h,t⁶⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 83

40/1

Back to form with a bang when landing heavy-ground 2m Leicester handicap in February. Not in the same form since, though, and he's hard to place much faith in.

Form: PP1044-

Watching Brief^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: D Brace| OR: 81

18/1

Long-standing maiden who was running to a modest level over hurdles last term. Placed on sole completed start in points at end of May but may need this reappearance back over the larger obstacles.

Form: 8234-P3

Taboo^p²⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Cobden| T: M Young| OR: 79

22/1

Long-standing maiden who was runner-up at Huntingdon last time but is far from certain to be in the same form.

Form: 2P026-2

Hot Smoked^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: Claire Hitch| OR: 74

80/1

Poor form over hurdles/fences. No encouragement on stable debut in handicap chase at Ffos Las 22 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: P3/PP0-9

Indian Harbour^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 74

33/1

Yet to get his head in front and recent return at Fontwell was pretty uninspiring.

Form: 6634P-8

Forecasts

King Golan (1/1), Caviciana (11/2), Arthur's Reuben (15/2), Debden Bank (11/1), Flying Garry (16/1), Watching Brief (18/1), Master Sunrise (20/1), Imperial Nemesis (20/1), Janeymac (20/1), Taboo (22/1), Indian Harbour (33/1), This Breac (40/1), The Manuscript (40/1), Lough Salt (50/1), Hot Smoked (80/1)

CAVICIANA is bred to make a chaser and makes plenty of appeal on her first go in this sphere having travelled smoothly when fourth at Southwell on reappearance. She's preferred to King Golan, who's having just his third start for Dr Richard Newland, with the hat-trick seeking Debden Bank another one to consider.
