Brother Pat⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 121

4/1

Took very well to chasing during second half of last year, gaining fourth success at Sedgefield (27f) in November. Respectable third in Lincolnshire National in December and claims back from a break.

Form: 1211F3

Frisco Bay^p,t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 114| BF

11/4

Fair hurdles winner who ran best race to date over fences when runner-up at Warwick (3m) 2 starts back. May of overdone positive tactics back there latest and better showing distinctly possible.

Form: 1-34626

Chanting Hill²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander| OR: 105

3/1

Low-mileage 8-y-o who ran well despite not looking well-served by steadily-run race when second in 3-runner C&D mares' handicap last month. Fancied to be in the mix again.

Form: 41-5632

Event Of Sivola^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 105

15/2

Ex-French chaser who regained the winning thread at Ayr (3m) in October. Hasn't scaled same heights over fences/hurdles in trio of starts since, however.

Form: 52-14P8

Justforjames^p³⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 104| CD

5/1

C&D winner who again wasn't disgraced when third in a C&D veterans' event in January, chasing leaders 3 out and plugging on. Rates a likely each-way player again.

Form: 516P33

Sigurd^t,v¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: B S Hughes| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 97| CD

13/2

Unreliable chaser who cashed in off lowly marks in C&D handicaps last winter and back on scoreboard at Wetherby (3m) 12 months ago. Recent exploits patchy but re-united with Brian Hughes now.

Form: 65084P

Frisco Bay (11/4), Chanting Hill (3/1), Brother Pat (4/1), Justforjames (5/1), The Dubai Way (6/1), Sigurd (13/2), Event Of Sivola (15/2), Grange Ranger (10/1), William Of Orange (10/1)

CHANTING HILL was not well-served by the steady gallop but still ran creditably when second in a 3-runner mares' handicap chase here early last month and remaining on her last winning mark, so could well be the answer in a competitive handicap chase. Brother Pat, back from a short break, and Frisco Bay are others to consider.
