Dindin^b,t⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Philip Armson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 102| BF| D

7/4

Yet to strike on these shores, but he was a 10-time winner in France and comes here in good heart, possibly finding race coming too soon when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f) 5 days ago. Needs to bounce back quickly.

Form: 536324

Arizona Glory^p⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 94

9/2

Unreliable type who followed easy win in 2m handicap chase at Worcester with last of six over C&D 53 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 54P7-16

Rectory Oak^b1,t⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 92

15/8

Made the perfect start in this sphere when scoring at Wincanton (20f) in March. Travelled strongly long way upped to 26f when sixth of 8 at Fontwell (26f) 49 days ago so merits serious consideration back in trip with blinkers on.

Form: P361-76

Mister Allegro^t³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 102

9/2

Fairly useful 2m hurdle scorer at his best but he has offered little in three runs this term. Goes chasing now with something to prove.

Form: 185-555

Lure Des Pres^t¹⁷⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: David Noonan| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 81

18/1

Successful twice between the flags, but hasn't really threatened to win under Rules and is hard to enthuse over.

Form: 3P8547-

Forecasts

Dindin (7/4), Rectory Oak (15/8), Mister Allegro (9/2), Arizona Glory (9/2), Lure Des Pres (18/1)

RECTORY OAK found the step up in trip beyond him at Fontwell but is worth another chance at the distance that saw hm make a winning chasing debut at Wincanton. Dindin has yet to score for his current yard but is feared most if bouncing back from his recent Southwell fourth ahead of the unreliable Arizona Glory.
