Run To Milan¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan Johns| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 130| CD

11/4

C&D winner who wasn't disgraced upped in trip when fourth of 12 in 26f handicap chase at Newbury (soft,) 13 days ago. Eased 2 lb but a quick turnaround perhaps not ideal.

Form: 3/61-344

Win My Wings²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams| OR: 129| D

28/1

Useful form at best but went backwards from her reappearance when pulled up in listed event at Newbury. This is a more suitable assignment, but she needs to up her game.

Form: 931-15P

Musical Slave²⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 128| CWS

9/2

Course winner who ran creditably when ninth of 20 in handicap chase at Punchestown (24.6f) on final outing in April, faring best of those held up. Has since had a breathing operation. Not discounted.

Form: 2/5U399-

Drumlee Watar^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| OR: 127| D

20/1

Successful 4 times over hurdles this season and wasn't disgraced in a useful handicap at Newbury on latest run in November. Makes chase debut from 1 lb lower.

Form: 1131P9

Poker Play^t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 123

17/2

Returned with an encouraging second at Ffos Las in October but has a patchy profile and wasn't in the same form at Haydock 24 days ago, going in snatches. Back over fences now.

Form: 234-929

Classic Ben^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 122| D

4/1

Has gone well fresh before so a below-form return after 11 months off here 26 days ago has to go down as disappointing. Something to prove.

Form: 35/247-7

Another Emotion^p²⁸⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 122| D

20/1

Posted a career best when forging clear to land an 11-runner handicap chase (15/2) at Carlisle (24.5f, soft) on final outing in March. Reappears from a 6 lb higher mark with the cheekpieces back on.

Form: 317U21-

Ede'iffs Elton^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: James Best| T: R Walford| OR: 115

10/3

Resumed progress when head second of 10 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f, soft, 7/1) 16 days ago. Nudged up 5 lb but he's likely to go well again.

Form: 6U11-62

Eden Flight²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 115

14/1

French bumper winner who rather lost his way over hurdles for Willie Mullins and has shaped with little promise both chase starts for new yard.

Form: F757-9P

Forecasts

Run To Milan (11/4), Morning Spirit (3/1), Ede'iffs Elton (10/3), Classic Ben (4/1), Musical Slave (9/2), Poker Play (17/2), St Erney (12/1), Eden Flight (14/1), Drumlee Watar (20/1), Another Emotion (20/1), Win My Wings (28/1)

EDE'IFFS ELTON is a second-season chaser on the up judged on his narrow defeat at Wincanton on Boxing Day, so he remains of firm interest up 5 lb. Morning Spirit ran a cracker on just his second start over fences when runner-up over C&D last month and is another to have on side. Musical Slave returns after a breathing operation and can also pose a threat granted an error-free round.
