Ashfield Paddy²¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 122| D

9/2

Belatedly opened account in this sphere when taking 5-runner handicap at Hereford (25.2f, good) in March. Not seen since but reappears for new connections on a workable mark.

Form: P2B621-

Indian Brave^t²³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120

12/1

Proved he retains plenty of ability (after 2-year absence) when second of 5 in handicap chase at this course (19.4f, heavy) in March. Reappears off same mark and must enter calculations.

Form: 32211/2-

Cash To Ash²⁰⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 120| D

12/1

Good second in this event last term and went on to finish runner-up on his next 3 starts. Form tailed off later in campaign, however, and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 222275-

Geryville¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 119| C

7/2

Belied odds of 40/1 to make winning start for this yard here (19.4f) 12 months ago and largely performed well thereafter, including scoring at Newcastle (23.4f) in March. Likely contender.

Form: 2P2212-

Bangers And Cash¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 118

4/1

Fairly useful hurdler who made a winning chase debut at Taunton (23f) last December. However, has been let down by his jumping in both starts since and has questions to answer now.

Form: 72/216U-

Wye Aye^h¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Ross Chapman| T: P A Kirby| OR: 112| D

25/1

Won 4 times over fences but recent efforts have been well below par. Best watched for now.

Form: 071U-27

Tango Boy^p²⁸³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 112

6/1

Bumper winner who matched his fairly useful hurdle form at the third time of asking over fences when runner-up in 3m Newbury handicap in January. Off since. Less exposed than most of these.

Form: 5P5/642-

Choungaya^t²⁰⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 110WS

150/1

Not scored for some time and has offered little in either start for this yard. Had wind operation.

Form: 46805P-

Aki Bomaye^t²⁸²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 110| DWS

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden who made an encouraging start over fences at Worcester last November. Couldn't build on that in 2 subsequent outings but he remains low mileage. Had wind operation.

Form: 132/254-

Who's In The Box^p¹⁹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Hammond| T: N Kent| OR: 105| D

14/1

Posted creditable second at Southwell (24.3f) when last seen in April but he looks no more than averagely treated on his return to action here. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: P53PP2-

Forecasts

Geryville (7/2), Bangers And Cash (4/1), Ashfield Paddy (9/2), Aki Bomaye (11/2), Tango Boy (6/1), Cash To Ash (12/1), Indian Brave (12/1), Who's In The Box (14/1), Wye Aye (25/1), Choungaya (150/1)

TANGO BOY posted his best effort over fences at Newbury when last seen in January and can race off the same mark here. He gets the nod. Geryville and Indian Brave should also go well.
