Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: David Noonan| T: T Symonds| OR: 103

14/1

Well held on sole start last season but shaped as if retaining all of ability on second start back. Bred to make a chaser but let down by jumping on chase bow. Headgear on and can do better.

Form: 34/9-44U

Marettimo⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 94

10/1

Seventeen-race maiden over hurdles but off the mark at the first attempt over fences at Taunton last week under this rider. Respected under a penalty.

Form: 226/771

Out The Glen^t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 97| BF| C| D

7/2

Encouraging fourth for new yard in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon on return and duly built on that when winning at Leicester. Not so good at Fontwell since but worth another chance.

Form: 5P5-413

Radetzky March^t⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 77

10/11

Showed some promise in a couple of spring bumpers but well held over hurdles. However, made a mockery of opening mark quickly switched to fences at Fakenham last week and can defy a penalty.

Form: 4-59071

Leskinfere^p³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: J R Cornwall| OR: 71

25/1

Remains a maiden after 26 runs and was 30 lengths behind Out The Glen in handicap chase at this course (22.7f, good to soft) 36 days ago. 7 lb out of weights.

Forecasts

Radetzky March (10/11), Out The Glen (7/2), No Hubs No Hoobs (11/2), On The Bandwagon (6/1), Marettimo (10/1), Fazayte (14/1), Leskinfere (25/1)

RADETZKY MARCH made a mockery of his opening mark quickly switched to fences on handicap debut at Fakenham last week and should take the beating under a penalty. Out The Glen is worth another chance to build on his Leicester win and rates the main threat.
