Winless since 2019, and tried in cheekpieces when last of 6 in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f) 73 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Getmegold⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 103

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in remote fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f) on his debut over fences 42 days ago. May do better.

Form: 4/63-605

You Say Nothing^h⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 100

16/1

Fairly useful 17f winner over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell but he's offered little for current yard over fences. Has serious questons to answer at present.

Form: 0-9P6P0

Shintori⁴³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Jack Barber| OR: 97| D

20/1

Unreliable type. Had wind op before fair fourth in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f), finding less than looked likely. Off 14 months and others are preferred.

Form: 11444/4-

Tudors Treasure¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings| T: R Stephens| OR: 96| CD

6/1

3-time C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction when third of 6 in handicap chase here 17 days ago. Must enter calculations off a falling mark.

Form: 1P2P63

Eros¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: K Woollacott| OR: 95

Doyannie^h⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams| T: Jack Barber| OR: 94

11/2

Off 8 months and posted encouraging fourth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (20f) on her debut over fences 63 days ago. Should strip fitter now, so she's no forlorn hope.

Form: 75653-4

Firenzo³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: R Walford| OR: 83

7/2

Low-mileage 7-y-o who has shaped with promise on both his chasing starts, off 12 months before fading fifth of 14 in handicap at Plumpton (19.8f) 36 days ago. Weighted to go close lowered 3 lb now.

Form: 9098/3-5

What A Baloo^t1²⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Max Kendrick| T: J D Frost| OR: 78WS

33/1

Off 9 months since pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f). Since had wind op and tongue strap on for his chase debut with others more appealing.

Form: P/88P4P-

Ericas Lad⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 73| C

12/1

Course winner in 2019 but very lightly raced since and fell 14th in handicap chase at Taunton (23f, soft) 8 days ago. Has plenty on his plate from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Form: U123/9F

Scrumpy Boy^t⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Alan Johns| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 72

9/1

14/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Tongue strap back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 5442/95

Treacys Jim⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁵⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 71

22/1

Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap chase (22/1) at Taunton (23f, soft) 8 days ago.

Forecasts

Firenzo (7/2), Doyannie (11/2), Tudors Treasure (6/1), Eros (7/1), Getmegold (8/1), Scrumpy Boy (9/1), Forget You Not (10/1), Ericas Lad (12/1), Entre Deux (12/1), You Say Nothing (16/1), Keep Moving (20/1), Shintori (20/1), Treacys Jim (22/1), What A Baloo (33/1), Muddle Thinking (50/1), Menapian (100/1), Sam Haze (100/1)

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest, and FIRENZO is worth siding with given he has shaped with some promise on both his outings over fences and figures on an attractive mark too for the in-form Robert Walford yard. Veteran Tudors Treasure rates a big threat though given his excellent record round here and in-form maiden Eros is another worth a second look.
