Who's In The Box¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 110

11/1

Improved for switch to fences last term but just respectable efforts at best this season, running poorly at Exeter latest.

Form: 2-7P53P

Speak Of The Devil^p,t³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 110

11/1

Scored over 3m at Hexham in June and posted another good run when second at Doncaster latest. Claims eased another 1 lb.

Form: 212842

Ladronne^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: T Collier| OR: 108| C

7/2

Fair winning hurdler who got off the mark over fences at Wetherby in December. Quickly back on track when third there 3 weeks ago but that was a gruelling race. Needs to show his toughness now.

Form: 443-163

Heavey^t,v¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107| D

17/2

Bounced back to form when off mark over fences in novices' handicap at Wincanton (25.1f, heavy) under this rider but just respectable fourth over same C&D since.

Form: 427U14

Just Don't Know²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Craig Nichol| T: Paul Robson| OR: 105

3/1

Confirmed promise of Newcastle run when cashing in on a career-low mark at Leicester and backed that up with a career-best win at Ayr, again jumping well and finding plenty. Must be respected.

Form: 5-5P211

Seemingly So^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: L Morgan| OR: 102

6/1

Returned to form for his in-form yard when off the mark over fences at Musselburgh last time, justifying strong market support from 7 lb out of the handicap. Still well-in on old form.

Form: FP0651

Aire Valley Lad^b¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 97| C

7/2

Fair hurdle winner and at least as good over fences, runner-up last 3 starts, including off this mark at Market Rasen 2 weeks ago. This is a better race, however.

Form: 4P3222

Forecasts

Just Don't Know (3/1), Ladronne (7/2), Aire Valley Lad (7/2), Seemingly So (6/1), Heavey (17/2), Speak Of The Devil (11/1), Who's In The Box (11/1)

SEEMINGLY SO bounced back to form with a bang when landing a gamble for his in-form yard at Musselburgh and remains well treated on old form. He's taken to follow up at the main expense of the likeable Just Don't Know, who's bidding for the hat-trick. Speak of The Devil and Heavey look best of the others.
