Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 139| CD

7/2

Enjoyed a productive second half of last year, including when winning this race off 9 lb lower. Most unlucky not to make a winning return from 11 months off at Worcester and can make amends.

Form: 7/1351-U

Pink Eyed Pedro^t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: C Brace| T: D Brace| OR: 138| D

11/5

Notably reliable and runner-up for the third successive start at Warwick 16 days ago, the only one to give the winner a fright. Eased 2 lb since so strong claims.

Form: U43222

Forgot To Ask^t¹²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 127| D

9/2

Scored at Plumpton and Market Rasen in the spring, recording career best at latter track over 3m. Failed to give his running at Perth since but type to bounce back after a break.

Form: 3221-10

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: A King| OR: 125| C| D

15/8

Hurdles winner who was well backed to make a successful chase debut at Ludlow. Good placed efforts last 2 starts and remains unexposed in this sphere.

Forecasts

Outonpatrol (15/8), Pink Eyed Pedro (11/5), Shoal Bay (7/2), Undersupervision (4/1), Forgot To Ask (9/2)

Claims can be made for all 5 but last year's winner SHOAL BAY was most unlucky not to make it 4 wins from his last 8 starts on his return from 11 months off at Worcester 5 weeks ago (in control when unseated rider run-in due to his saddle slipping), and is taken to make amends. The likeable Pink Eyed Pedro is feared most.
