De Barley Basket^t⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 125| BF| D

4/1

Has developed a fine strike rate over fences, winning 5 of his 10 starts, resuming progress when typically making all at Uttoxeter in September. Still going strongly when unseating 4 out at Market Rasen last time and he remains of interest.

Form: 11P31U

Carolines Charm¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: K Brogan| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 125

18/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser. Returned with win in 3-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell but pulled up there 17 days ago. Back chasing with something to prove now.

Form: 5243-1P

Fairway Freddy¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: N F Houlihan| T: N J Gifford| OR: 120| C| D

11/2

Resumed winning ways at Stratford in October and posted a solid second of 3 at Plumpton (19.8f) 19 days ago. In the mix once more.

Form: 315-F12

Jony Max^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁸⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 112| C

4/1

Course winner who wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 20 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (25f) 15 days ago, set plenty to do. In the picture.

Form: 212444

Butterwick Brook^b1¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 110| C

7/2

Unreliable sort who resumed with good second of 6 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f) 10 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now and this course winner can't be dismissed if on his A-game again.

Form: 1PP7P-2

Creadan Grae^t,v¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Price| T: L Horsfall| OR: 109| D

33/1

Seems only fair nowadays but he comes here on the back of a creditable third in handicap at Exeter (19.2f) 18 days ago. Others remain more persuasive though.

Form: P-3U643

Mister Sweets^t¹⁰⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁶⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107

12/1

Fair 21f winner over hurdles but he went backwards from his chasing debut second when last in handicap at Worcester (20f) 107 days ago. In good hands and is worth another chance.

Form: 314P-26

Don Alvaro^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Angus Cheleda⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 102

7/2

Got off the mark over hurdles at Taunton in March and hinted at promise after 7 months off when last of four on his chasing debut at Newton Abbot (25.8f) 21 days ago. Can take a step forward now.

Form: 32310-4

Forecasts

Don Alvaro (7/2), Butterwick Brook (7/2), De Barley Basket (4/1), Jony Max (4/1), Fairway Freddy (11/2), Mister Sweets (12/1), Carolines Charm (18/1), Creadan Grae (33/1)

DE BARLEY BASKET was still going strongly when unseating 4 out at Market Rasen last time but had jumped well up to that point and is fancied to resume winning ways and continue his excellent start to life over fences. Jony Max didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Cheltenham so this course winner rates a big threat, with in-form Fairway Freddy another who needs factoring in.
