Waikiki Waves^b¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100| C| D

11/1

Successful off a similar mark over 23f here last December but he's hardly a model of consistency and is hard to warm to on the back of a poor reappearance display at Fontwell.

Form: 14P3-3P

Enduring Love^p,t²¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: O Murphy| OR: 98

12/1

Resumed winning ways in a Clonmel handicap chase (2½m, heavy) in February and followed that with a couple of creditable efforts in defeat. Cheekpieces refitted on return/debut for new yard and possibilities if able to hold it together jumping-wise.

Blended Stealth³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 91| BF

11/10

Winless following 8 attempts over hurdles but posted one of his better efforts in that sphere when runner-up on return in a 2½m Fakenham handicap (good) last month. Very much of interest back up in trip on this chase debut.

Form: 53938-2

Artemision^p,t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 90

5/1

Placed a couple of times in handicap chases for Ben Pauling last season but record has a patchy look to it and beaten a fair way on return/first run following a wind op for new yard at Plumpton. Tongue strap refitted.

Form: 4203P-3

Ramore Will¹⁷⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Freddie Gordon⁽⁷⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 86| D

16/1

Last win came in 2020 and he struggled for form over both sets of obstacles last season. Still, he's slipped to a potentially handy mark as a consequence and returns from a break with yard in terrific form, so there's cause for optimism.

Form: 3/PP73-P

Percy Veering^p1²⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Kielan Woods| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 85

4/1

No real impact in a bumper nor 4 starts overs hurdles last season. In good hands and it's entirely possible that he will do better over fences at some point but improvement will certainly be needed if he's to make a winning debut in this sphere.

Form: 06806-

Shanroe Smooch^p⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 65

12/1

Successful between the flags but he's 0-21 under Rules and is 9 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 2-P4357

Forecasts

Blended Stealth (11/10), Percy Veering (4/1), Artemision (5/1), Waikiki Waves (11/1), Enduring Love (12/1), Shanroe Smooch (12/1), Ramore Will (16/1), Kilfords Queen (20/1), Shirocco's Delight (25/1)

If he takes to fences at the first attempt BLENDED STEALTH could prove a tough nut to crack. The 5-y-o put in a good shift over hurdles on his reappearance at Fakenham and both this step back up in trip and return to a stiffer track will be in his favour. Ramore Will has plenty to prove following an inauspicious campaign last term but he's down to a dangerous mark and is hard to discount with his yard in such good form. Irish import Enduring Love is also worthy of consideration.
