Responded well to the addition of cheekpieces when making it second time lucky over fences at Uttoxeter (3m) in February. Creditable 4 lengths second at Newton Abbot latest. Another bold show likely.

10/3

Step back in right direction when fourth over 23f at Taunton last month and fairly handicapped if he can build on that (runner-up twice off 9 lb higher last May). Might be worth chancing.

3/1

Hurdles winner who has been placed 3 times in handicap chases this spring. Run of good form came to a halt at Market Rasen 10 days ago. Has a tongue tie added after that (visor worn lately off).

Form: 6P223-7

9/2

ff the mark when taking 9-runner handicap chase at Hereford (25f, good) in November. Not in quite the same form when third on both outings since,. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

50/1

Little impact in a trio of points and similar story so far under Rules, finishing well held in a 3m Warwick handicap chase 9 days ago. First-time blinkers (replacing visor) and tongue strap combination needs to transform him.

Form: P4PPF-7

12/1

Poor maiden. Did run one of his better races when 15 lengths second at Chepstow 24 days ago but he never seriously threatened and remains easy enough to oppose.

The handicapper might have been generous dropping MINELLA VOUCHER another 5 lb after his run last time as he went as if back in better form for a long way and he's starting to look very well treated on the form he showed at this time last year. Motown Lake can give him most to think about.
