5/4

Evens, didn't need to improve to win 3-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good). Off 6 months. Well capable of following up in a weak race.

Art Of Illusion^p³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: T Scudamore| T: W Greatrex| OR: 106

9/4

Fair form over hurdles and looks worthy of note starting out over fences.

Form: 23-2325

Artemision^p¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 93WS

3/1

Best effort to date when runner-up at Taunton (23f) in January. Bit disappointing since but has has moved stables wince last seen 6 months ago, so worth a market check.

Form: P4203P-

Kind Witness^t⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: B Lund| OR: 79

12/1

Limited hurdler/chaser who will probably struggle to get involved.

Form: 2U64P-4

Forecasts

Blade Runner (5/4), Art Of Illusion (9/4), Artemision (3/1), Kind Witness (12/1)

BLADE RUNNER is two from two over fences and looks well capable of following up his C&D win 6 months ago. Art of Illusion is one to note on chasing debut and Artemision is no forlorn hope having switched stables.
