Bristol De Mai⁶⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 160

4/1

Brave front-runner who is a three-time winner of Haydock's Betfair Chase. Pulled up in latest renewal (on good ground) but no surprise if he bounced back with ground conditions very much to suit.

Form: 29/12P-P

Dashel Drasher²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott| OR: 159| D

6/4

Comes here on the back of Newbury hurdling success and this most likeable front-running chaser can't be discounted reverted to fences now.

Form: 3111-31

Master Tommytucker⁴⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 154| D

8/1

Very smart chaser but taken on for the lead when only fair fourth in Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon last month. Tends to make the odd mistake, and others are better treated at these weights.

Form: 126-524

Itchy Feet^p⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: O Murphy| OR: 153

3/1

Grade 1 novice winner over fences who has returned to his best this term since cheekpieces went on, runner-up to Bravemansgame at Haydock in November. Considered with headgear retained.

Form: 2253-22

Lieutenant Rocco³⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: H Brown| OR: 143

14/1

Looked a natural over fences when easily beating some useful rivals in 3m novice at Ffos Las 11 months ago but off the track since. This is a very big ask on his comeback run.

Form: 1P/3231-

Two For Gold^p⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 153

10/1

Tough and reliable chaser who resumed with idling success in 3m Doncaster handicap last month. This demands plenty more but he's no forlorn hope.

Form: P313U-1

Forecasts

Dashel Drasher (6/4), Itchy Feet (3/1), Bristol De Mai (4/1), Fanion D'estruval (9/2), Master Tommytucker (8/1), Two For Gold (10/1), Lieutenant Rocco (14/1)

BRISTOL DE MAI found conditions too lively when failing in his bid for a fourth Betfair Chase success but goes really well fresh and has his ideal ground this time so is taken to bounce back in style. Itchy Feet has been rejuvenated by the fitting of cheekpieces and is feared most with last-time Newbury scorers Dashel Drasher and Fanion d'Estruval not taken lightly either.
