Off time: 15:05 | Winning time: 5m 51.70s

Diamond Fort^b¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 105

22/1

Is well over 3 years without a win and it's hard to draw too many positives from his recent exploits.

Form: 6P76-74

Out For Justice^t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 105| C

13/2

Capitalised on reduced mark to score at Chepstow and Worcester in April. Further progress when second at Ffos Las 13 days ago and a further 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 4711-42

Imperial Acolyte¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 104

11/1

In good form this term, going best when falling 3 out at Market Rasen 12 days ago. Contender if none the worse.

Form: 50-224F

Unai^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR: 104

5/1

Still relatively unexposed and has made a positive start to his chase career, placed 3 times before scoring over 3m at Warwick under Luca Morgan. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth latest.

Form: P3331-4

Cobra Angel¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 102

6/1

Taunton handicap hurdle winner in April and took well to fences when close second over C&D 18 days ago. Another who has to enter the reckoning.

Form: P721-52

Kabrit^h¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Ralph| OR: 100

14/1

Fairly consistent in handicap hurdles without winning, returning from a 6-month break to finish a respectable fourth here 18 days ago. Chase debut.

Form: 53326-4

Easy Bucks^p1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 96| BF

9/2

Improved for the switch to chasing last year, winning pair of 3m handicaps at Uttoxeter. Placed on 3 of his 5 runs since, returning to finish third at Hexham 18 days ago. Cheekpieces added.

Form: 1263P-3

Diamond Rose²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: J S Smith| OR: 88

18/1

Summed up by her mark over hurdles and well-held fourth of 5 on Uttoxeter chase debut 27 days ago. Others hold stronger claims.

Form: 3735-54

Kind Witness^t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 87

14/1

Dual winning pointer who ran his best under Rules when second in Newton Abbot handicap on chase debut 8 days ago, albeit flattered by her proximity to the winner.

Form: 32-1402

Master Sunrise^b¹⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr James King⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 87| CD

11/2

Temperamental sort. C&D winner. Fit from a couple of point wins when good second of 14 over C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago, no match for winner. No good thing to be in the same form.

Form: 58/51-12

Miss Antipova⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 87

28/1

Placed twice over fences this spring, including over C&D, but took a heavy tumble at Plumpton last time.

Form: 6/8P23-F

Hoot At Midnight^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 76

16/1

Completed for the first time over fences when third at Huntingdon (23.5f), good) a month ago but will need from out of the handicap in this competitive race.

Form: 7FPU-63

Forecasts

Easy Bucks (9/2), Unai (5/1), Master Sunrise (11/2), Cobra Angel (6/1), Out For Justice (13/2), Writteninthesand (7/1), Imperial Acolyte (11/1), Kabrit (14/1), Kind Witness (14/1), Hoot At Midnight (16/1), Diamond Rose (18/1), Diamond Fort (22/1), Miss Antipova (28/1)

Plenty in with a shout in a well-contested chase. UNAI probably went off a bit hard for his own good over slightly further at Fontwell last time and is taken to show he's still on a workable mark. Writteninthesand, who has had wind surgery since last seen in April, Katy Price's Out For Justice and recent C&D second Cobra Angel head the many dangers.
