Knight Destroyer³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 92| D

9/4

Yet to match anything close to the pick of his hurdles form (dual winner in that sphere) over fences, but the handicapper is showing mercy and he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 82F3-36

Deise Vu^p³⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 11-5| J: David Noonan| T: R Brotherton| OR: 85| CD

80/1

Two of his 4 victories over fences have been registered here, but the most recent was back in March 2019 and it's been a struggle since.

Form: 868/98-5

Infinite Sun⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Callum Bewley| T: S Waugh| OR: 81

6/1

In with a chance when falling/unseating in back-to-back appearances at Market Rasen, but completed over C&D last week when a clear second to an upwardly-mobile type. Leading claims off the same mark.

Form: 056-FU2

Speedy Choice¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: J M Quinlan| T: R Dickin| OR: 79

80/1

Winless following 4 starts between the flags and hasn't shown much in half-a-dozen attempts over hurdles.

Form: P85PP-0

Ardbruce⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 78

8/1

Posted his best effort yet when runner-up at Stratford (19.4f, soft) last month, but that wasn't much of a race and more needed if he's to go one better here.

Form: PPU64-2

Kapsize^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 78| D

7/4

Three-time winner over fences in France and opened account on this side of the Channel at Hexham (15.6f, good to soft) recently. 5 lb rise fair enough and it's not hard to envisage another bold show.

Form: 8P-4631

Uncle O^t⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 76WS

25/1

Placed on a few occasions over hurdles, but latest effort at Taunton wasn't one of his better ones and improvement needed now switched to fences.

Form: 7/23859-

Crackle Lyn Rosie^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 74

7/1

Pulled up sole start in this sphere at Ludlow last February and while she has put in some decent shifts over hurdles since, others make greater appeal.

Form: 8935-36

No Ceiling^h,t¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-5| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 71| CD

16/1

Winless since landing a handicap chase at Doncaster in December 2017. Best effort for a while when fifth of 13 to Kapsize at Hexham last time, but he's opposable all the same.

Form: P8P5-95

Forecasts

Kapsize (7/4), Knight Destroyer (9/4), Infinite Sun (6/1), Crackle Lyn Rosie (7/1), Ardbruce (8/1), No Ceiling (16/1), Uncle O (25/1), Deise Vu (80/1), Speedy Choice (80/1)

KAPSIZE benefited from the drop back in trip when opening his account on these shores at Hexham and, still feasibly treated despite a 5 lb rise, he is taken to strike again. Infinite Sun didn't do much wrong when finding just one too good over C&D recently and should give another good account, while Knight Destroyer is dangerous to discount off this reduced mark.
