7/1

28/1, encouraging fifth of 11 in 23f handicap here on debut over fences 23 days ago. Open to progress, so he's well worth a second look.

Form: 3P26-45

Rocheston¹⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 116

10/1

13/2

Latest win in chase at Kempton in March and creditable third of 8 in 3m handicap chase at Ffos Las 179 days ago. Has won off a break, so he merits consideration.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 110

9/2

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Ralph| OR: 107

12/1

Form: 42P/5P1-

Palixandre^h,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 97| D

15/2

Gained breakthrough success in this sphere at Uttoxeter in September. Not disgraced when sixth of 11 at Wetherby 13 days ago, so he's firmly in the mix eased 2 lb.

Form: 23-3146

Forget You Not^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: James Best| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 84

7/1

25/1, gained his first win in 6-runner handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f) 24 days ago. Can give another good account despite being 4 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 0/PP8-71

Non-Runners

Do It For Thy Sen²

Weight: 11-11| Age: 7

T: Kerry Lee J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Aki Bomaye (11/4), Do It For Thy Sen (11/4), The Mighty Arc (9/2), Peur De Rien (13/2), Gulliver Collonges (7/1), Forget You Not (7/1), Palixandre (15/2), Rocheston (10/1), Wheesht (12/1), Battle Of Actium (25/1)

A case can be made for a few, so at the likely odds it's worth siding with PALIXANDRE, who opened his account over fences at Uttoxeter in September and can race off 2 lb lower than when a good sixth in a stronger Wetherby handicap last time. Alastair Ralph's point winner/chasing debutant Wheesht is not without interest, while Peur de Rien is another returning from a break who needs considering.
