Huntsmans Jog^v⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 120| D

11/2

Fairly useful hurdler. Some good efforts switched to fences this term but latest distant third at Exeter wasn't one of them. Bounce back called for after short break.

Cobra De Mai^p,t²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: David Bass| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 117

11/2

On a lengthy losing run and didn't really show enough when sixth over 3m at Southwell last time to suggest he's in good enough form to take advantage of his reduced mark.

Form: 3P2646

Clemencia^p1,t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 117

4/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019, but he posted good third of 5 in handicap chase at Hereford (25f, soft) 45 days ago. Enters calculations eased 1 lb here with that form working out well. Cheekpieces added.

Form: F7U333

Premiumaccess^t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 113| D

8/1

Failed to build on quite an encouraging reappearance third at Fontwell when a remote fourth at Taunton but he may have found the run coming too soon only 15 days later. Freshened up since.

Form: 2426-34

Wayfinder³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 112| C

11/4

Low-mileage 8-y-o who returned to form when second of 17 here in February but pulled up in Devon National at Exeter since.

Form: 21-B62P

On Call^p⁶¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: G Harris| OR: 112| CD

7/1

Landed a pair of all-the-way wins over C&D in the autumn. Not in the same form since so needs a return to this venue to spark him back to life.

Form: 3-11P54

Wildfire Warrior⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 110

7/1

Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Better effort switched to fences last twice when fourth at Doncaster (20.5f) but he hasn't looked a natural in the jumping department. Return to 3m should help, though.

Form: 31-6574

Forecasts

Wayfinder (11/4), Clemencia (4/1), Cobra De Mai (11/2), Huntsmans Jog (11/2), Wildfire Warrior (7/1), On Call (7/1), Premiumaccess (8/1)

A trappy race in which nothing arrives with particularly compelling claims. CLEMENCIA hasn't been shaping too badly in defeat this year so he's the tentative choice in the hope that cheekpieces give him a bit more. Premiumaccess had a possible excuse last time and gets the nod to follow Tim Vaughan's charge home.
