Sir Tivo^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: G Hanmer| OR: 125| D

6/4

Fairly useful chaser who added to his tally at Stratford in June and made the most of a good opportunity back over hurdles when making all at Warwick last month. Far from disgraced back in this sphere at Aintree latest and can't be ruled out.

Form: 214214

Desque De L'Isle¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 110| BF| D

9/4

Improved when scoring readily at Ffos Las on return last season but consistent rather than progressive since and needs to bounce back from a disappointing recent reappearance at Fontwell.

Form: 43545-P

Court Royale⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 105| CD

15/8

Dropped down the handicap last term and took advantage when making a winning return at Ffos Las (16f, good to firm) 43 days ago, all out. Just 3 lb higher and not taken lightly.

Form: 22-3241

Forecasts

Sir Tivo (6/4), Court Royale (15/8), Desque De L'Isle (9/4), Only Money (9/4), Ridgeway (6/1)

ONLY MONEY didn't jump as well as he can in a deeper contest at Aintree last time and may be able to bounce back here. Ffos Las winner Court Royale is feared most.
