Off time: 15:37 | Winning time: 4m 49.1s

Phil The Thrill^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 117

50/1

Fairly useful ex-French chaser who has gone offf at big prices and failed to completie in handicap chases at Haydock and Worcester over 5 months apart for new stable. Would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 3321/P-U

Caddyhill²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 115WS

6/1

Made successful chase debut for new yard at Sedgefield last September. Mostly disappointing since but has dropped below that winning mark and wouldn't be a shock to see him stage a revival after wind surgery.

Form: 3523-44

Jan Maat^t⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 103| D

12/1

Useful chaser at his best for Henry de Bromhead, but has finished down the field in 6 starts hurdling/chasing for this yard and no real reason to anticipate a resurgence coming here.

Form: 00744-P

Koi Dodville^b,t1²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 113

9/4

Resumed winning ways in Cheltenham handicap hurdle in April. Fifth on all 3 starts since (below form latest) but back on a feasible mark if taking to chasing at the first time of asking. Has a first-time tongue strap added to blinkers.

Form: 021-655

Who's The Guv'nor^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 92| CD

4/5

Partnered by Brian Hughes for the first time when getting off the mark in C&D handicap last month. Could have struck upon a weak race here and taken to follow up off 8 lb higher.

Form: 3P54-61

Forecasts

Who's The Guv'nor (4/5), Koi Dodville (9/4), Caddyhill (6/1), Jan Maat (12/1), Phil The Thrill (50/1)

In a race where most have something to prove and recent C&D scorer WHO'S THE GUV'NOR stands out and can follow up with Brian Hughes in the saddle again. Koi Dodville could be the one for the forecast spot assuming he takes to chasing at the first time of asking.
