Big Difference⁸⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Harry Reed| T: T Reed| OR: 107

15/2

It's now fourteen runs since his last win in 2019 but he ran one of his better races in first-time visor when second at Hereford (25.2f) 88 days ago on his final run for Ben Pauling. Needs to back it up for his new yard.

Form: F/662F2-

Gun Merchant⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 90

4/1

Opened his chase account at Newcastle in November and largely in good form since, still close up when unseated rider 3 out in handicap over C&D 50 days ago. Considered.

Form: 81652-F

Get With It^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 87

7/2

Fair maiden hurdler but he's yet to match that form in two runs over fences, only fourth of 5 in handicap chase over C&D 12 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 0/525-94

Cardboard Gangster¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 84

5/2

Off 3 months before fading fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f) 19 days ago. Back over fences now off a handy mark so he merits serious consideration.

Form: 2365P-4

Oishin^t,v1⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: S Mulqueen| T: M A Barnes| OR: 79

20/1

Yet to score over fences, and he came in last of 5 in novice chase at Cartmel (25.5f) 6 days ago. Visor is reached for now.

Form: 6P6-F35

Racks Cross³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: B S Hughes| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 78| D

10/3

Modest maiden hurdler who was below-form fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f) 31 days ago. Goes chasing with a bit to prove.

Form: 65/647-5

Forecasts

Cardboard Gangster (5/2), Racks Cross (10/3), Get With It (7/2), Gun Merchant (4/1), Big Difference (15/2), Oishin (20/1), Diamond Road (100/1)

CARDBOARD GANGSTER should strip fitter for his recent Worcester hurdling fourth and reverts to fences offf a good mark so gets the nod. Gun Merchant is proving a consistent sort and rates the chief threat provided he is none the worse for his late exit here, while Big Difference can have a say too if hitting the ground running for his new handler.
