Port Of Mars^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 128

9/1

Hereford maiden chase winner over a year ago but he's offered little in three runs since, remote sixth in Ascot handicap last month. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 321P-P6

Antunes^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: M F Harris| OR: 127

7/1

Rather lost his way for Dan Skelton but he took a step back in the right direction in first-time cheekpieces for new yard when third in handicap hurdle here 16 days ago. No forlorn hope back chasing.

Form: 13-8PP3

Kauto The King^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 127| CD

6/1

Thrived over fences since last spring, winning 4 times around 2½m. Not at his best around 3m on his last two starts but he can't be discounted now reverting in trip.

Native Robin^p,t³⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-0| J: David Prichard⁽⁵⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 125| CD

11/2

On the upgrade, and he recorded his fourth C&D win 30 days ago in taking fashion. Up another 8 lb but veteran still can't be taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: P0-1311

Go Steady^t²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 125| BF| D

11/1

Winning hurdler/chaser who comes here on back of good second in 20f novice hurdle at Leicester 25 days ago. In the mix back in this sphere for leading yard.

Form: 3-13182

Flagrant Delitiep²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: R Walford| OR: 125| CD

10/11

C&D winner who got right back on track when runner-up here 24 days ago. Holds very good claims off an unchanged mark.

Form: 12-56P2

Forecasts

Flagrant Delitiep (10/11), Native Robin (11/2), Kauto The King (6/1), Antunes (7/1), Port Of Mars (9/1), Go Steady (11/1)

FLAGRANT DELITIEP has a very good record at this track and is weighted to add a second C&D success on the back of his resurgent second here last month. Native Robin also boasts a fine record round here and is feared most despite taking a 8 lb hike in the weights, with Go Steady in the mix too now back chasing.
