Langer Dan²¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 145| CD

3/1

Well clear of rest when second to Galopin des Champs in 2021 Martin Pipe. Sent off favourite for last year's renewal of that race but was brought down at the second. Made amends in Grade 3 handicap at Aintree final start. Has 4 lb penalty but not taken lightly.

Form: 412/6B1-

Brewin'upastorm^t²¹²

10/11

Very smart hurdler who bagged conditions event at Lingfield before good second in National Spirit Hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f). Flopped in Grade 1 at Aintree final start but this looks a good opportunity on return (won this last year).

Form: 5/1F12P-

Dashel Drasher²⁵⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott| OR: 152| D

3/1

Tough, likeable 9-y-o who gained breakthrough success at Gr.1 level when taking Ascot Chase in 2020/21. Went in again over hurdles in December but rare below par display in Ascot Chase final start, Type to bounce back.

Form: 11/312P-

Voix Du Reve^p¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 132| D

22/1

Smart at best and cashed in on a falling mark at Newcastle in March. Shaped as if needing the run on comeback at Aintree but plenty to find on these terms.

Form: 43514-8

Forecasts

Brewin'upastorm (10/11), Dashel Drasher (3/1), Langer Dan (3/1), Voix Du Reve (22/1)

BREWIN'UPASTORM is the highest rated of these over hurdles and can repeat last year's comeback win in this. Very smart chaser Dashel Drasher isn't as good over hurdles but still rates the main threat ahead of the penalised Langer Dan.
