Galop De Chasse¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 125| BF| D

11/4

Winning hurdler in France who doubled his tally over fences at Ludlow in February. Failed to fire last time, but too soon to write off. Highly respected.

Form: 6-1P213

Another Crick^p1¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: T J O'Brien| T: Noel Williams| OR: 124| BF| D

11/4

Useful chaser who took advantage of reduced mark back over fences at Wincanton in January but failed to back it up at Newbury subsequently. Could get back on track with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 46P-314

Katpoli^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 123| D

16/1

Scored twice over fences in 2019/20 but has been disappointing (made mistakes) since returning from a lengthy absence this season. Plenty to prove.

Form: 52/U-45P

Doukarov^h,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: J R Wildman⁽⁷⁾| T: S Curran| OR: 119| D

11/4

Resumed winning ways in a 4-runner contest at Newbury in December and has held his form since, second of 9 at the same track recently. Should give another good account.

Form: 431322

Darebin¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 110| CD

8/1

Temperamental chaser who bounced back in a change of headgear to win at Fontwell in October. Has run plenty of good races here (3-time C&D winner) but latest fourth wasn't one of them.

Form: 217244

Sabbathical¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 106| D

6/1

Scored over fences at Fakenham in November and resumed winning ways over hurdles at Exeter in January. Disappointing over smaller obstacles the last twice, and this trip is on the sharp side for him.

Form: 133153

Forecasts

Douglas Talking (7/4), Doukarov (11/4), Galop De Chasse (11/4), Another Crick (11/4), Sabbathical (6/1), Darebin (8/1), Katpoli (16/1)

GALOP DE CHASSE should bounce back quickly from a lesser run at Huntingdon 12 days ago and gets the nod, while the in-form Doukarov is likely to post another solid showing.
