Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: W Coltherd| OR: 117| BF

6/4

Won novice handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f) in November before good second of 4 at Newcastle (23.4f) later same month. Shaped as if amiss at former course in January but worth another chance after break, especially if market speaks in his favour.

Forecasts

Cooper's Cross (6/4), Caboy (5/1), En Meme Temps (5/1), Ardera Cross (13/2), Doktor Glaz (9/1), Young Jack Yates (10/1), Woodbrook Boy (11/1), Brotherly Company (12/1)

COOPER'S CROSS probably has more to offer over fences and is worth a chance to bounce back from whatever ailed him when pulled up at Sedgefield at the start of the year. Woodbrook Boy is also interesting back from an absence, while Caboy surely has solid place claims once again.
