2/1

Gained a fourth handicap win during busy 2021/22 campaign over C&D in March. Jumping has let him down in two starts since but he's undoubtedly capable if keeping the errors at bay.

Form: 43513-2

6/4

Low-mileage 7-y-o who matched his fairly useful hurdles form when off the mark at third attempt over fences here (19.5f) in March, making all. Not disgraced when second in 3-runner novice back here latest and he remains one to be positive about returned to handicaps. Blinkered.

Form: 12/5312-

Statuario²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 119

9/2

Losing run stretches back to 2019 but twice went agonisingly close over fences last spring and, upon returning, just failed to get up in 4-runner Uttoxeter handicap 4 weeks ago, albeit jumping repeatedly right. Still, he's a player if arriving in same groove.

Form: 5448P-2

Cenotice^b,t⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 119| D

9/2

Returned from a lengthy absence to make a winning debut for this yard at Perth (2m) last July and tasted success twice since, latterly at Bangor (17.3f) in April, well on top finish. Yard 2-4 here in recent seasons and he's respected.

Forecasts

Black Gerry (6/4), Goa Lil (2/1), Statuario (9/2), Cenotice (9/2)

All four arrive with claims, including last-time-out winner CENOTICE. A comfortable winner at Bangor, he remains with handicapping scope on the pick of last summer's form and his yard is 2-4 with its runners here in recent seasons. Statuario may emerge as the chief threat if replicating the form he showed when second at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago.
