Accordingtogino^p,t¹²³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Lorcan Williams| T: D Skelton| OR: 122

5/1

Winner of 25.5f Warwick handicap chase last November and runner-up over this C&D and at Cheltenham during the spring. Below par latest, but will be a threat back here if on-song following a break.

Form: 61P22-5

Reve⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Patrick Cowley| T: M Keighley| OR: 120| BF

10/3

Has an all-or-nothing profile and little to shout about in 4 starts since gaining breakthrough success over fences off this mark at Southwell last November.

Form: P143-47

Doitforthevillage^t¹⁵²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-11| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: P Henderson| OR: 119

12/1

Cracking servant to connections who resumed winning ways at Sandown in January. Resumes from a break on an attractive mark and recent rain will help, but his record when fresh is off-putting.

Form: 14246-4

Wagner^p,t⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 118

6/4

Point/hurdles winner who made it fourth time lucky in this sphere at Worcester (2½m) in May. However, didn't appear to get home over 23f back at that course last week, so there are stamina concerns.

Form: 65-2123

Templehills^h¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Savage⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 117| C

8/1

Back in the winning groove off 3 lb higher mark over 21f here last October. Solid third back here next time, but form has dipped badly since and recent Warwick reappearance was hardly encouraging.

Form: 3PPF-75

Generator City^p,t⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: B Leavy| OR: 109

6/1

Ex-Irish winning chaser for Denis Hogan in Ireland. Bettered previous efforts for current yard when third in a first-time tongue strap at Market Rasen (3m) last time, but another step forward needed.

Form: 1/P45-P3

Young Turk^p,t³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Aaron Anderson⁽³⁾| T: A Sadik| OR: 105| D

66/1

Twice successful over fences in Ireland, but has failed to complete on 5 of his 9 starts since joining this yard and it's easy to have reservations.

Form: 23PP3-7

Forecasts

Wagner (6/4), Reve (10/3), Accordingtogino (5/1), Generator City (6/1), Templehills (8/1), Doitforthevillage (12/1), Young Turk (66/1)

This is something of a minefield and, by process of elimination, ACCORDINGTOGINO gets the nod. The 8-y-o failed to fire on his latest start, but he holds strong claims judged on much of last season's form. This trip is a worry where Wagner is concerned (looked a non-stayer over 23f last time), while Doitforthevillage's record when fresh doesn't augur well and the others all have a bit to prove.
