11/2

C&D winner who showed his first form in a long time when second of 14 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, heavy) 38 days ago. On a handy mark if able to back that up.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 108| C

7/1

Opened his account following a breathing op in Chepstow handicap hurdle (19.4f) in January. Respectable third at Sandown next time but ran below form switched to chasing at Taunton latest.

Form: 28-5136

Colonel Keating³³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 104| D

16/1

Well on top at the finish when opening Rules account in 23.5f handicap chase at Lingfield in December. Well held a month later but bounced back to form when third there (28.8f) 33 days ago.

Form: 222-183

Bring The Action^t,v1⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 104| D

9/1

Point winner who got off the mark at the third attempt over fences at Wetherby in January, jumping well and showing a willing attitude. Disappointing at Market Rasen since and visor now fitted.

Form: P-4F315

Petite Power⁴⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 11-1| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 102| D

25/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2019 and ran poorly under a change of rider when pulled up before 5 out in handicap chase at this course (26.2f, soft, 12/1) 44 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 70424P

Gats And Co^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: C Brace| T: D Brace| OR: 102| C| D

6/5

Got off the mark under Rules in 11-runner handicap chase at this course (26.2f, soft) 22 days ago, easily. A 10 lb rise may not prevent the follow up.

Form: 134P31

Mr Katanga^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 101| C

6/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in 11-runner handicap here (26.2f) 22 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Hit with 14 lb rise but still may have more to offer.

Forecasts

Gats And Co (6/5), Thomas Patrick (11/2), Mr Katanga (6/1), Straight Swap (7/1), Poldark Cross (8/1), Bring The Action (9/1), Jean Genie (11/1), Colonel Keating (16/1), Petite Power (25/1)

GATS AND CO wasn't fully extended to draw readily clear here 22 days ago, so a 10 lb higher mark looks within range. Thomas Patrick is potentially well treated now, while Mr Katanga may have more to offer as a chaser.
