50/1

Veteran chaser who regained winning thread at Uttoxeter (3m) last November. Below that level since, and others are preferred here.

Imphal¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 103

5/4

Arrives on a hat-trick after handicap hurdle wins at Ludlow and Fontwell. Up another 3 lb but he's still expected to be bang there for yard among the winners.

Form: 472-411

Dynali^p,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 97

4/1

Posted good Ludlow second in October but only sixth in handicap hurdle here 11 days ago. Tried over a longer trip now and he needs to get back on track.

Form: 47/0-526

Cheer's Delboy^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Price| T: R Dickin| OR: 81

11/2

Remains winless, but he was running well (held in third) when unseated rider last in 20f handicap here 11 days ago. Firmly in the mix off 5 lb lower mark here.

Form: P-528PU

Moidore²⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 77

20/1

It's now fifteen runs since his last win in 2019, and only ninth in handicap over C&D 20 days ago. Hard to enthuse over.

Form: P5-4339

Teenage Dirtbag^p³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Kitts⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 76

3/1

Still to get his head in front but he arrives in good nick, fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f) 31 days ago. Much respected despite being 3 lb out of the handicap.

Form: P62-434

Message To Martha^t1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: G Howell| OR: 59

125/1

Has offered little all 3 runs, pulled up in 2m Bangor novice on yard debut last month. Significantly up in trip and tongue strap on for handicap debut but hard to fancy from 20 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 2/04-P

Forecasts

Imphal (5/4), Teenage Dirtbag (3/1), Drumlee Getaway (7/2), Dynali (4/1), Cheer's Delboy (11/2), Oscar Clouds (10/1), Moidore (20/1), Optimistic Bias (50/1), Message To Martha (125/1)

Gary Moore has his string in excellent nick so IMPHAL is hard to side against in his hat-trick bid despite another 3 lb rise in the weights. Cheer's Delboy has still to register a victory but is feared most provided he is none the worse for his last-fence mishap here, with Drumlee Getaway also in the mix.
