Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 97

11/2

No easy ride and ran poorly at Worcester 13 days ago having gone close here the time before. Steps up in trip.

Form: 66PP-26

Motown Lake^p,t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams| OR: 95| BF| D

7/2

Successful in handicap chases at Uttoxeter and Ffos Las this year. Jumping wasn't too great at Hexham last time but that form has been boosted and he's worth another chance from this mark.

Form: U142-13

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Philip Armson⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Armson| OR: 91| BF| D

11/4

Been in good form over hurdles, successful at Uttoxeter early last month having gone close in handicap chase there 2 weeks prior. Should stay 3m and respected back over the larger obstacles.

Form: 92-6213

Miss Wachit^v1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 88| C

14/1

50/1 winner in mares' handicap hurdle over shorter here fitted with blinkers last month, but well beaten at Uttoxeter next time. Visor now tried as she goes chasing up in trip.

Form: 4/46-710

Fortyfive West¹⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 88

14/1

Little promise in bumper/over hurdles (bled last time). Fair bit to prove now going chasing back from 5 months off.

Form: 28060P-

High Counsel^b¹⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: G Hanmer| OR: 81| C| D

9/2

At the veteran stage but showed there's still plenty of life in his legs with 3m Warwick win in May. Not so good at Cartmel off this mark next time but has scored here in the past.

Form: 54P4-14

Wells Gold^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: Sara Ender| OR: 73| D

14/1

Just 1 win over hurdles and has been out of sorts over fences. Hard to fancy back from 7 weeks off.

Form: 0U7P9-4

Tumbling Dice^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Thomas Willmott⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 71

17/2

Reacted positively to cheekpieces when winning handicap at Catterick (25f) on New Year's Day. Well held last 3 starts though, labouring a fair way out back from 8 weeks off at Cartmel latest.

Form: 31F9-57

Glacier Fox^t1²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 69

33/1

Poor maiden well held at Market Rasen last time and unproven over this far. Tongue tie goes on.

Form: 64P-P34

Forecasts

Mackie Dee (11/4), Motown Lake (7/2), High Counsel (9/2), On The Bandwagon (11/2), Tumbling Dice (17/2), Miss Wachit (14/1), Fortyfive West (14/1), Wells Gold (14/1), Glacier Fox (33/1)

Tricky stuff with MOTOWN LAKE given another chance despite his iffy round of jumping at Hexham last time. He'd been in good form prior to that and still has few miles on the clock. Mackie Dee and High Counsel are a couple of others to consider.
