The Toojumpa²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 98| BF

9/2

Heavily backed to make winning yard debut at Worcester (23f) in October. Runner-up at Wetherby on her sole completion in 3 starts since. Big player if the fences don't get in the way.

Form: UP-1UU2

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 98

9/1

Fair hurdle winner but yet to match that form over fences, pulling up here when last seen in May. First run for new yard after leaving Henry Daly. Also sports a hood for first time.

Form: 3F345-P

Steel Wave^t,v⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-3| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: G Hanmer| OR: 89| D

9/1

Temperamental sort who upped his game to end losing run at Stratford. Not at his best on next 2 starts but back on track when runner-up at Leicester last week. Much depends on what mood he's in.

Form: 841432

Family Pot^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Tudor| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 89| BF| CD

10/3

C&D winner in November and third on all 3 starts since, probably just stretched by 25f when caught for second late on by Ivilnoble at Hereford latest. Should give another good account.

Ivilnoble^b¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 87

9/2

Just the one win from 16 starts in this sphere but arrives here on the back of a string of decent effort, including second at Hereford (25f), with Family Pot just behind in third. Respected.

Form: 924422

Duc Kauto^t¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁶⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 87

28/1

Has largely struggled in recent times but did take a bit of a step back in the right direction when third at Taunton (23f) 10 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 3/5P-P83

Take Em Out^t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring| T: D Burchell| OR: 86

16/1

Matched fair hurdles form when landing a Stratford chase in July 2019. Restricted to just 7 runs since, running respectably when fourth of 13 at Hereford (21f, soft) 16 days ago.

Form: 6P-82P4

Pembroke House^p³⁴

Age: 15| Weight: 10-12| J: Cillin Leonard| T: S-J Davies| OR: 84| CD

100/1

Veteran who was having his first outing in over a year when pulled up at Uttoxeter last month. Can only be watched after that.

Form: 524/35-P

Earcomesbob³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Archie Bellamy⁽³⁾| T: P A Pritchard| OR: 83| D

7/2

Off mark in points (awarded race) at second attempt. Only modest form under Rules but it's early days and his handicap debut third at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) shows he can be competitive from his mark.

Form: 173-P23

Midnight Calamity^p³³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Angus Cheleda| T: W G M Turner| OR: 77

14/1

Lightly-raced mare who has been pulled up on 3 of her four outings this term and looks up against it again.

Forecasts

Family Pot (10/3), Earcomesbob (7/2), Ivilnoble (9/2), The Toojumpa (9/2), Steel Wave (9/1), Finalshot (9/1), Midnight Calamity (14/1), Take Em Out (16/1), Duc Kauto (28/1), Monition (50/1), Pembroke House (100/1)

FAMILY POT was caught late on for second by Ivilnoble at Hereford last time but Sheila Lewis' 7-y-o was probably just stretched by a trip just in excess of 3m on that occasion and is fancied to turn the tables returned to the scene of his win in November. The Toojumpa has had a few non-completions in recent times but she should also figure prominently if keeping the errors down.
