Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 135| BF| CD

11/8

Added another small-field handicap chase to his tally over C&D in November and similar form in defeat on last couple of outings. Versatile trip-wise and after a near 4-month break, he's fancied to go well again.

Form: 171142

Orrisdale^p⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 130| CD

5/4

Has returned an improved chaser, gaining an overdue first success in this sphere over C&D a couple of months ago, producing a bold jumping front-running performance. Nudged up 3 lb and seems sure to be in the mix again.

Form: 33-F261

Jeremy Pass^p,t⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 130| D

4/1

Off the mark over fences in 3m novice handicap at Ascot in November but found little when second of 4 at Taunton (23f) next time. First-time cheekpieces failed to spark any sort of revival last time so he's best treated with caution for now.

Form: 22-212P

Forecasts

Orrisdale (5/4), Neville's Cross (11/8), Jeremy Pass (4/1), Galop De Chasse (5/1)

NEVILLE'S CROSS notched a third success of the season over C&D back in November and on the back of a near 4-month break, Tom Lacey's charge gets the verdict to resume winning ways. Orrisdale is sure to be popular having gained an overdue first success in this sphere here in January but he may have to settle for silver, ahead of Galop de Chasse.
