C&D winner who has failed to kick on since victory at Fontwell under this rider, only fifth of 8 over C&D last month. Still on a favourable mark so may have a say in proceedings..

Fair 2m winner over hurdles, but she performed below that level on her chasing bow when fifth of 12 in 20f handicap at Leicester. Departed early at Kelso next time but it remains very early days.

Resumed winning ways when bagging a C&D handicap last May and bounced back to form under this rider to record a fourth success over fences at Hereford 4 weeks ago. Major player nudged up just 4 lb.

Last 2 wins have come in C&D handicaps but he's long been irresolute and recent efforts haven't offered much encouragement. Risky.

Off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot in June and back to winning ways under an attacking ride at Bangor (17f) in December. Let down by his jumping at Ffos Las and has since left David Rees.

7/2
Yet to score over fences and, rather predictably, followed a good run with a below-par one having been very easy to back at Musselburgh last month. Capable from this mark if on a going day.

Back on the scoresheet when landing 16.5f handicap here 12 months ago (also won this race in 2020) but it's all been rather low-key since, well held at Southwell 9 days ago.

No show initially under Rules, but won his sole start in points and chase debut third Market Rasen represented a step in the right direction. Failed to see his race out since so cheekpieces applied.

Forecasts

Joly Maker (5/2), Pakie's Dream (7/2), Anightinlambourn (11/2), Rizzardo (6/1), For Fitz Sake (6/1), Elkstone (10/1), Kingston King (14/1), Torrent Des Mottes (25/1), Overtougeorge (33/1)

Verdict

A few in with chances but preference is for JOLY MAKER, who needed every yard of the 20.9f trip to get up at Hereford 4 weeks ago, and having been nudged up 4 lb, he can notch a fifth career success over the larger obstacles. Rizzardo is just 1 lb higher than when winning at Fontwell in November so he's fancied to go well, with the unpredictable Pakie's Dream next on the list.
