6/4
Notched fourth chase success with plenty in hand at Carlisle (2m, good to firm) recently. However, forecast slower ground here and this 9 lb higher mark are causes for concern.

Dual winner last year, but form subsequently nosedived and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

5/1
Made the frame on each of his 4 starts last season following a lengthy absence, fourth of 9 at Carlisle (2½m, good) when last seen in April. Resumes on a 2 lb lower mark and couldn't rule out.

13/2
Hasn't tasted success since scoring at Perth (2½m) in August 2020, but he's now 12 lb below that winning mark and his latest third over that C&D was a respectable effort. One for the shortlist.

7/2
Winner of 3 of his 5 starts at this course, the latest a narrow verdict in a 3m handicap chase in January. Ended last season with a creditable second at Perth and he's in with a shout.

20/1
Just the one success to his name following 21 hurdles starts, and he was a tailed-off last of 5 in the Carlisle handicap chase won by Armattiekan 16 days ago.

Poor handicap chaser in Ireland and there has been little in the way of encouragement in her 4 starts since joining present yard.

Forecasts

Armattiekan (6/4), Graystown (11/4), Eagle Ridge (7/2), Doktor Glaz (5/1), Raecius Felix (6/1), Boy's On Tour (13/2), Roll Of Thunder (12/1), Gripper (20/1), Maureen's Star (150/1)

Verdict

This looks tricky and the tentative vote goes to BOY'S ON TOUR, who hasn't got his head in front for over a year but he's been given a chance by the handicapper and there were encouraging signs last time. Doktor Glaz will be a threat if ready to roll, while Eagle Ridge evidently likes it here and he shouldn't be far away, but there are doubts surrounding recent winners Armattiekan and Graystown.

  1. BOY'S ON TOUR (IRE)
  2. DOKTOR GLAZ (FR)
  3. EAGLE RIDGE (IRE)
