Royal Hall^p⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss Ellie Vaughan⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102

One-time fair handicap hurdler but doesn't appear to retain much of that ability these days.

Form: 5U445/9

West Wizard^p,t⁵¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 98

28/1

Just modest handicap chaser nowadays. Has been running in France this season but disappointed last time. Something to prove back over hurdles.

Form: 3240P-7

Three Ways^b,t³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: William Featherstone⁽⁷⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 97

12/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2018. Mark tumbling but hasn't looked in the form to take advantage.

Form: 69590-4

Vango De Vaige^b⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 93| D

15/2

Successful in this sphere for Philip Hobbs in November 2018, but hasn't added to that since and, following a stint over fences, as well held back in this sphere on debut for new yard at Hexham.

Form: 43852-6

Eurkash^h⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Jack Cater⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Webber| OR: 90WS

6/1

Got off the mark over fences at Bangor (17.3f, heavy) in December, but arrives here on the back of a low-key display at Uttoxeter. Returns to this sphere on the back of a wind operation.

Form: 14022-6

Jessica Rabbit²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B Roberts⁽⁵⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 88

9/4

Consistent sort who finally came good at Doncaster in February. Creditable placed efforts in defeat in recent months and likely to give another good account.

Form: 21-2333

Sense Of Adventure^v²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Alex Chadwick⁽⁷⁾| T: L Allan| OR: 86

17/2

Poor maiden hurdler who produced one of his better efforts when third at Southwell last time. Hard to know if he'll build on it, though.

Form: 5486P3

Witch From Rome²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss H C Tucker⁽⁵⁾| T: Simon Earle| OR: 74

9/2

Nowhere near the force of old but at least showed some ability remains when fourth at Newton Abbot 20 days ago. Well handicapped if he can build on that.

Form: 7/PP90-4

Red Caravel⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Mr Andrew McBride⁽⁷⁾| T: M Weatherer| OR: 73

40/1

Maiden on the Flat and hasn't shown much in this sphere.

Form: 806-9

Stripe Of Honour^v¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁷⁾| T: A Day| OR: 67

10/1

First piece of worthwhile form when fourth of 14 from 12 lb out of the weights here (23f) recently, improvement possibly owing to the first-time visor. Still, others preferred from a win perspective.

Form: 9P-4594

Go On Chez⁸

Weight: 10-6| Age: 5

T: O Greenall & J Guerriero J: Toby Wynne

Hartside¹⁸

Forecasts

Jessica Rabbit (9/4), Go On Chez (5/2), Witch From Rome (9/2), Eurkash (6/1), Vango De Vaige (15/2), Sense Of Adventure (17/2), Stripe Of Honour (10/1), Three Ways (12/1), Royal Hall (16/1), Hartside (16/1), West Wizard (28/1), Red Caravel (40/1)

GO ON CHEZ upped his game at the first go over fences at Uttoxeter last time and, from the same mark, he's a worth a chance to follow up with these fixed brush obstacles likely to play to his strengths. Jessica Rabbit has been consistent lately, so another solid showing is expected from her, while Witch From Rome is potentially well treated and took a step in the right direction last time.
