Echo Watt^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: James Best| T: R Hobson| OR: 107| D

15/2

Tongue strap on for 1st time when creditable second of 9 to Coolvalla in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f) 20 days ago. Didn't prove especially consistent last season so needs to back it up.

Form: 53535-2

Galtee Mountain²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: P G Murphy| OR: 105

12/1

Cheekpieces on when landing a hat-trick over fences at Fontwell last season. Not disgraced after 7 months off when sixth of 11 in handicap at Worcester (20f) 28 days ago. Headgear still left off but he's no forlorn hope..

Form: 23111-6

Neil The Legend¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean O'Briain⁽⁷⁾| T: K Davis| OR: 105

66/1

Arrives well out of sorts, only ninth of 10 in handicap chase here 16 days ago. Others are much preferred.

Form: 1PP3-49

Red Lion Lad^b²⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 104| DWS

11/2

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser who ran poorly in first-time blinkers when sixth in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (21.9f) 9 months ago. Switches to fences after a wind op with more needed.

Form: 63/6U36-

Uallrightharry^p²⁰⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: M Goldstein| T: K Jewell| OR: 104| D

50/1

Unreliable sort who was visored when pulled up in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f) 6 months ago. Cheekpieces back on and others much preferred.

Form: 5222P-P

Coolvalla^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 100| CD

2/1

Largely progressive hurdler who made a winning start in this sphere in 26f handicap at Fontwell 20 days ago by 7 lengths from Echo Watt. Up 10 lb but he has more to offer and rates a big player.

Form: 84415-1

Bobmahley⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 98| D

4/1

Got off the mark in 5-runner handicap chase at Fakenham (24.2f) 41 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 3 lb rise.

Form: 4/22P2-1

An Marcach^b²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 96

22/1

It's now fourteen runs since his last win in 2021 and he was behind when falling 4th in handicap chase (12/1) at Hexham (24.2f) 20 days ago. Needs to improve his jumping.

Form: P5-325F

Advantura^b²⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 79

4/1

Got back on track in first-time blinkers when second in 3m handicap hurdle at Taunton 8 months ago. Headgear is retained for his chase debut and can't be dismissed.

Form: 8045P2-

Forecasts

Coolvalla (2/1), Bobmahley (4/1), Advantura (4/1), Red Lion Lad (11/2), Echo Watt (15/2), Galtee Mountain (12/1), Celma Des Bois (12/1), An Marcach (22/1), Uallrightharry (50/1), Neil The Legend (66/1)

COOLVALLA got off to the perfect start over fences at Fontwell at the start of the month and Chris Gordon's upwardly-mobile sort can make light of a 10 lb hike in the weights. Bobmahley is feared most on the back of his breakthrough success at Fakenham, with chasing-newcomer Advantura also worth a second look.
