The Newest One⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 126

9/2

Opened chase account at Newton Abbot (25.8f) and bettered that form when landing a weak event at Doncaster a month later. Not disgraced at Ludlow since and should remain competitive up in trip.

Form: 2-51214

Shanty Alley^p⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 125

6/1

Progressive over fences last season, winning twice around 3m in the mud. Shaped well for a long way in the Tommy Whittle last time and remains of interest back down in class from a 5 lb lower mark.

Form: 1123-UP

Eclair De Guye^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR: 120

10/1

Scored at Huntingdon in December 2020 and reappearance third at Sandown was encouraging. Not in the same form next 2 starts so bounce back is required.

Form: 12P-37P

Boughtbeforelunch^p²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber| OR: 117

8/1

Showed the benefit of a recent run when capitalising on a sliding mark at Leicester last month, making all in a decent time. Player with a repeat.

Form: 2PFP31

Premier D'troice^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 117

15/2

Fairly useful hurdler who bagged back-to-back 3-runner novice chases last year. Hasn't cut much ice since switched to handicaps, but his mark is on the slide so not one to write off.

Form: 347534

Cuban Pete¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 113

18/1

Dual chase winner last term but this season's efforts have been uninspiring, failing to meet expectations tried in headgear at Hereford 2 weeks ago.

Form: F4-7P54

Volcano^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Jones| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 110| CD

4/1

Thrived over fences last term, winning 4 times (at up to 29f). Has struggled this season but mark is falling rapidly (now 15 lb below last winning mark).

Form: UP643P

Vinnie Dev^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: T J O'Brien| T: Noel Williams| OR: 110

3/1

Point winner who made a successful Rules debut over hurdles at Uttoxeter in November 2019. Easily best effort since when creditable second at Lingfield on second chase start and remains unexposed.

Form: 367/882

Vinnie Dev (3/1), Volcano (4/1), The Newest One (9/2), Shanty Alley (6/1), Premier D'troice (15/2), Boughtbeforelunch (8/1), Samuel Jackson (8/1), Eclair De Guye (10/1), Cuban Pete (18/1), Sub Lieutenant (25/1)

SHANTY ALLEY shaped better than being pulled up would suggest in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock, his effort to go with the eventual second/third eventually taking its toll (also lost a shoe), and he makes a good deal of appeal back down in class and eased another 5 lb. The Newest One shaped as if still in good form at Ludlow so is respected back from a break, as is the unexposed Vinnie Dev.
