Elmono⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 122| D

13/2

Fairly useful performer who was successful off this mark at Cartmel last August. However, latest effort over this C&D was underwhelming and others make more appeal.

Form: 8/212-46

Brotherly Company^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 117| D

11/4

Consistent sort who arrives here at the top of his game, scoring from the front at Southwell (3m) and Cartmel (21f) the last twice. More needed off this revised mark, but merits respect all the same.

Form: 115-P11

Top Of The Charts^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 116| CD

7/2

This Irish raider has performed respectably the last twice, but it's been more than 2 years since he last hit the target over fences.

Form: 007-063

Somethinboutangela²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 116| CD

4/1

Made a winning chase debut over this C&D last summer and put in a good shift when runner-up back from a 10-month absence at Stratford (22.6f). 1 lb lower now and she's high on the shortlist.

Form: 24/315-2

Spider's Bite^t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: K Brogan⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 115| D

14/1

Winning hurdler who shaped well on chase debut back in December 2018. However, lightly-raced since and he made little impact back from a break at Worcester last month.

Form: U8P/UP-5

Shanroe Al C¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: K Thornton| OR: 113| CD

9/2

Successful over hurdles/fences in 2020 and bounced back from a couple of low-key performances when runner-up over C&D 18 days ago. Possibilities off the same mark.

Form: 0110-02

Vocaliser^p,t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 112

20/1

Three-time winner last season who got back on track when second in 21f Newton Abbot handicap in June. However, he was well behind Somethinboutangela when last of 6 at Stratford last time.

Form: 17P-P26

Forecasts

Brotherly Company (11/4), Top Of The Charts (7/2), Somethinboutangela (4/1), Shanroe Al C (9/2), Elmono (13/2), Spider's Bite (14/1), Vocaliser (20/1)

With just a handful of runs over fences to her name, SOMETHINBOUTANGELA probably has more to offer as a chaser and she is taken to make it 2-2 over this C&D. Brotherly Company is at the top of his game at present and is greatly respected in this hat-trick bid, while Shanroe Al C is also worthy of consideration.
