Joueur Bresilien⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 122

9/2

Doubled his tally in this sphere at Stratford (22.5f) a year ago. All the better for return as he would have likely finished third had he not unseated at the last at Bangor latest. Player.

Form: 98/10-9U

La Cavsa Nostra²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Hugh Nugent| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120

9/1

Point winner who was on the up over fences when last seen, doubling career tally at Sedgefield (26.2f) in 2019. Made mistakes and badly hampered back from 27 months off at Chepstow 23 days ago.

Form: 031U1/P

Valadom^p,t²²

Age: 13| Weight: 11-11| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 119| D

9/2

Resumed winning ways at Newcastle last winter and signed off with pair of placed efforts at Newbury. Better than bare result first 2 starts this term but latest run was disappointing. Eased 5 lb.

Form: 322-356

Cuban Pete^p1³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Ned Fox⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 116| CD

7/2

Dual chase winner last term but this season's efforts have been uninspiring. Headgear now given a whirl.

Form: 3F4-7P5

Another Emotion^b²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁶⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 116| D

10/1

Career-best effort when forging clear to score at Carlisle (24.5f) in March. However, well held both starts this season.

Form: 7U21-P7

Tea Time On Mars^p⁵⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Bryan Carver| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 107| BF

10/3

Dual chase winner who ran well on the back of 6 months off when third at Stratford but has performed steadily worse with each run since. Now 3 lb below last winning mark at least.

Form: 25-335P

Twojayslad^t,v1³²

Age: 13| Weight: 10-1| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 95

20/1

Dual winner last season but showed little on first run for 8 months at Warwick on New Year's Eve and no better at Catterick since. Change of headgear.

Form: 147-5P5

Allardyce⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: P Henderson| OR: 93

9/1

On a lengthy losing run but has plenty of chase experience in Ireland. Similar form all 4 starts for current yard and needs to raise his game.

Form: 325525

Forecasts

Tea Time On Mars (10/3), Cuban Pete (7/2), Valadom (9/2), Joueur Bresilien (9/2), La Cavsa Nostra (9/1), Allardyce (9/1), Another Emotion (10/1), Twojayslad (20/1)

JOUEUR BRESILIEN was set to finish third behind a pair of subsequent winners when hampered and unseated at the last at Bangor last month so earns the vote off the same mark. Valadom and Tea Time On Mars have both dipped below their last winning marks so are potential threats.
