Off time: 14:11 | Winning time: 4m 16.15s

Tap Tap Boom^t1²⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 116| D

4/1

Five-time Flat winner who scored twice over hurdles in France back in 2018. More miss than hit in limited number of appearances for present connections and bit to prove now sent chasing in a first-time tongue strap following 8 months off.

Form: 42/3P75-

Dame du Soir¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 102

2/1

Form went the wrong way, both in this sphere and over hurdles last term, but she showed enough when chasing home a progressive type on return at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) recently to suggest that a bold show here could be on the cards.

Form: 6453P-2

Le Coeur Net^t²⁴⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 102| CD

4/1

Dual winner in November 2020, including over this C&D, and proved that ability remains when runner-up here in February. Below par final start of last season but down another 4 lb ahead of this return and he has to be feared.

Form: 6/4F224-

Darebin^b¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 99| CD

15/8

Temperamental chaser who has largely struggled since gaining latest success at Fontwell last October. On the upside, he's now 11 lb below that winning mark and is entitled to come on for his reappearance spin. Blinkers refitted.

Form: 24455-5

Forecasts

Darebin (15/8), Dame du Soir (2/1), Tap Tap Boom (4/1), Le Coeur Net (4/1)

Question marks surround each member of the quartet with DAME DU SOIR perhaps the least risky on account of a fair reappearance effort at Huntingdon. She was left standing by the winner that day but the horse in question was a progressive 5-y-o and David Bridgwater's charge has been dropped another 2 lb since. Darebin is not the easiest to predict but he also has a recent run under his belt and is feared most ahead of Le Coeur Net.
