Dr Sanderson⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 130| D

22/1

Scored at Plumpton in October but hasn't fired since. Risky proposition at present.

Form: 1455-68

Princeton Royale^v²⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: N B King| OR: 129| C| D

7/1

Veteran chaser who capitalised on a falling mark and a soft lead when making a winning return at Worcester last month but not an obvious type to follow up.

Form: 3P84P-1

Siannes Star²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: B S Hughes| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 126| D

5/1

Finally off the mark over fences in 2m handicap at Southwell and followed up in smooth fashion there last month. Needs considering in current mood.

Form: 4-52311

Tanarpino^v⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 125| CD

13/2

C&D winner who made a respectable return when third of 8 in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, heavy, 22/1). Found class 2 too competitive here since.

Form: 132P-30

Yccs Portocervo³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 125| CD

13/8

Both chase wins have come over this C&D, looking better than ever when making all on return 5 weeks ago. Likely to give another good account up 3 lb.

Form: 31434-1

Vinnie The Hoddie¹¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: Miss G Haywood| OR: 125| CD

16/1

Made all to open chase account at Uttoxeter (20f) in September but well held last 2 starts 5 months apart and has since left Oliver Sherwood.

Form: 7/4147P-

Brelan D'As¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Alain Cawley| T: B Haslam| OR: 125| D

28/1

Useful at his best and took a step back in right direction on third outing for this yard when fifth at Cartmel but offered little there next time.

Form: 2P0-P56

Neville's Cross²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 125| C

9/2

Did well over hurdles last season, winning twice. Fell first 2 starts in chases, closing and looking a big threat 2 out at Worcester. Disappointed there next time, however, jumping ponderously.

Form: 603-FF5

Forecasts

Yccs Portocervo (13/8), Neville's Cross (9/2), Siannes Star (5/1), Tanarpino (13/2), Princeton Royale (7/1), Vinnie The Hoddie (16/1), Dr Sanderson (22/1), Brelan D'As (28/1)

YCCS PORTOCERVO proved better than ever when making a winning return over this C&D 5 weeks ago and looks capable of defying a 3 lb rise. Siannes Star arrives at the top of his game having won his last 2 starts at Southwell so rates the main threat, while Neville's Cross is probably on a good mark if sorting out his jumping.
