Goldencard^b⁴^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 12-5| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 96| BF| C

4/7

Has proved more consistent reverted to forcing tactics lately and, having emphatically landed a gamble at Uttoxeter 4 days ago, he's capable of following up if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 0-81351

Moans Cross¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 89

15/2

Uttoxeter maiden hurdle winner in 2019 and went close at Huntingdon on third start over fences last September. Has failed to match that form since, though, and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 2FP4-4P

Between The Waters^p,t³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 89| CD

11/2

Has slipped a fair way in the weights since his latest success at Ffos Las in June 2019 and has been in reasonable form of late, so dangerous to dismiss.

Form: 47-4226

Etoile Rebelle^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 85

16/1

Failed to better poor form in 3 starts for Paul Nicholls and little to get excited about for this yard. Up against it on chasing debut.

Form: 9870-38

Le Pogues Storm^b⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 81

6/1

Winning pointer and, while he's 0-17 under Rules, he's found only one too good on his last two completed outings over fences. Faces competition for the lead this time.

Form: 7482U2

Non-Runners

He Is A Cracker¹⁷

Weight: 10-11| Age: 5

Forecasts

Goldencard (4/7), He Is A Cracker (7/2), Between The Waters (11/2), Le Pogues Storm (6/1), Moans Cross (15/2), Etoile Rebelle (16/1)

GOLDENCARD made all readily at Uttoxeter 4 days ago and looks capable of defying a penalty if the quick turnaround doesn't hinder him too much. He Is A Cracker is the likeliest beneficiary of a sub-par showing from the selection, although Between The Waters is lingering on a feasible mark and shouldn't be ignored.
