28/1
Much improved fitted with blinkers when running out 40/1 winner at Exeter (3m) in March. Failed to match that either start since and hopes pinned on refitting of headgear having positive effect now.

13/8
Offered little over hurdles but much more like it over fences this autumn, again finding only a fellow progressive type too strong over 25f here in October. Sound claims with prospect of more to come.

5/1
Losing run is mounting up but mark has eased plenty and she did at least get back on track when keeping on for second over 25f here a couple of weeks back. Task now is to back that up.

4/1
Long-standing maiden who ran one of his better races when second over hurdles at Hereford (25.5f) 4 weeks ago. Not ruled out here for all this is a belated first crack at chasing.

11/2
Maiden who arrives in form, running as well as could be expected from out of the weights when third over 20f here in October. Each-way possibilities back up in trip.

18/1
Successful twice between the flags, but hasn't threatened under Rules, beaten some way out over 25f here in October. Good bit to prove at present.

11/1
Winning hurdler back in 2019 but hard to enthuse over his exploits over fences when last seen, well held fifth of 6 here (25f) in February.

Lets Go Dutchess102
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-0| J: James Best| T: M Hunt| OR:  69WS
10/1
Winning hurdler/chaser who has been disappointing so far this year. Operating from 4 lb out of the weights here and others make more appeal. Had wind op.

Forecasts

Jony Max (13/8), Bomber's Moon (4/1), My Lady Grey (5/1), Arc Of Bubbles (11/2), Lets Go Dutchess (10/1), Mr Magill (11/1), Lure Des Pres (18/1), Bonanza Sam (28/1)

Verdict

JONY MAX arrives on the back of a pair of improved efforts over fences, again finding only a fellow progressive rival too strong here (25f) in October and he's fancied to come out on top in a race lacking depth. My Lady Grey and Bonanza Sam can give him most to think about.

  1. JONY MAX (IRE)
  2. MY LADY GREY
  3. BONANZA SAM
