1/1

Scored at Southwell in May before good second of 3 in handicap chase at Perth (16f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Sure to go well again off an unchanged mark.

Rooster Cogburn^h⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 110| BF| D

7/4

Lightly-raced chaser who got back on the up with ready victory at Market Rasen last month. Fell first at Newton Abbot a week ago and well worth another chance off an unchanged mark.

Form: 31-241F

Check My Pulse^p1⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Henry Brooke| T: R Menzies| OR: 107

4/1

Fair 2m hurdle winner. Made encouraging start over fences with C&D third but hasn't matched it in two subsequent runs, third back here last time. More is needed to open his account in this sphere.

Form: 247-343

Forecasts

Onthefrontfoot (1/1), Rooster Cogburn (7/4), Check My Pulse (4/1)

ROOSER COGBURN got no further than the first at Newton Abbot last week but had looked a chaser on the up prior to that when a stylish scorer at Market Rasen so is well worth persevering with. Onthefrontfoot arrives in good order and rates the main danger, although Check My Pulse could have a say too if bouncing back to his best after a couple of lesser efforts.
