5/1

Reliable sort who got back to winning ways in 5-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (2m) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly despite 6 lb rise.

Form: U32431-

Dr Sanderson¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 118| D

22/1

Dual chase winner at Ayr and Doncaster in late 2021 but he has gone off the boil, coming in last of 6 in handicap at Sedgefield (19.3f) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 811366-

Flamboyant Joyaux⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Callum Bewley| T: Paul Robson| OR: 111| D

28/1

Bagged two handicap chases at Worcester and Kelso last autumn but showed nothing after 6 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ayr 56 days ago. Reverts to fences with something to prove.

Form: 9/5114P-

Fulgurix²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 110

11/4

Still to get his head in front, but he posted good second of 9 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (17f) 29 days ago. Up 3 lb but he remains weighted to go close.

Form: 844222-

Got Trumped^p⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 106

8/1

Unreliable type who came in below-par fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f) 56 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

7/1

Victory Echo^p,t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: M A Barnes| OR: 104| D

9/1

Unreliable type who has twice run poorly since landing 19f Catterick handicap in February. Cheekpieces go back on but he's not one to rely on.

Form: 2631P5-

Lovely Moon⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 103

11/4

Fair ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who made an encouraging start over fences for his current yard when fourth in novice here (20f) 7 days ago, not knocked about. Worth considering with better to come.

Form: 12467-4

Shake Him Up^b1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 100

22/1

Failed to complete for the third start in a row when fell 3 out (still in touch) in 2m handicap chase at Ffos Las 20 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now with something to prove.

Forecasts

Fulgurix (11/4), Lovely Moon (11/4), Miss Amelia (5/1), Blooriedotcom (7/1), Got Trumped (8/1), Victory Echo (9/1), Dr Sanderson (22/1), Shake Him Up (22/1), Flamboyant Joyaux (28/1)

FULGURIX signalled he's ready to open his account when an excellent runner-up at Sedgefield and is weighted to go in here at the chief expense of Carlisle-scorer Miss Amelia. Lovely Moon wasn't give a hard time of it when fourth here a week ago and should have a say too if, as expected, building on that run.
