Off time: 13:17 | Winning time: 6m 3.4s

Loud As Lions^p,t⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: T Symonds| OR: 100| CD

10/1

C&D winner from 5 lb higher in February 2020 but limited to just 3 subsequent appearances and he was comfortably held on return at Fontwell last month.

Form: PP1/P9-4

Eureu Du Boulay^t,v⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Harrison Beswick⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 100| D

33/1

Down in the weights and offered a bit more when placed twice in the summer but not so good of late.

Form: 4723P3

Thundersockssundae^p,t⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Max Kendrick| T: F O'Brien| OR: 98| BF| CD

5/1

Left with a simple task back down in trip after 5 months off when making all here in October but was unable to land the odds next time and this more competitive.

Form: 321-412

Crystal Moon^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: G Sheehan| T: A King| OR: 95

13/8

Just about matched his hurdles form sent chasing despite an error-prone round of jumping when close second at Ludlow on return. Open to improvement and longer trip will suit.

Form: 6/5303-2

Getabuck^b²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Luke Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 94| D

8/1

Has been given a chance by the handicapper and left yard debut/return well behind when close third in this headgear at Market Rasen. May still have more to offer for this stable.

Form: 6/25P-P3

Mr Washington^p,t⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: James Davies| T: David Dennis| OR: 94| D

14/1

Prolific over hurdles in 2020/21 and also won on his reappearance last season. Yet to convince over fences but wasn't disgraced when third in a 4-runner Plumpton handicap chase last time and he's slipped to an attractive mark.

Form: 2465-53

Largy Nights^b1⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 89

7/1

Showed improved form with cheekpieces added when making his second chase start a winning one in handicap at Stratford in April. Good second at Plumpton on return and unexposed profile gives him the potential to build on that in a change of headgear.

Form: 5/5761-2

The Real Jet^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Adrian Heskin| T: A Irvine| OR: 87| D

22/1

Point winner who stepped up on return/chase debut when second of 8 in handicap chase at Lingfield, but that form looks rather flimsy and was pulled up there next time.

Form: 285-P2P

Clear On Top^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R Patrick| T: T R George| OR: 84

17/2

Fair form over fences and got off the mark in a weak race at Leicester. More needed here.

Form: 4-22U51

Eurkash²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: P R Webber| OR: 83

25/1

Got off the mark over fences at Bangor (17f) in December 2020. Also runner-up twice in spring 2021 but lightly raced since and offered little on return from lengthy absence at Wincanton earlier this month.

Form: 022/64-7

Forecasts

Crystal Moon (13/8), Thundersockssundae (5/1), Colemanstown Lad (6/1), Largy Nights (7/1), Getabuck (8/1), Clear On Top (17/2), Loud As Lions (10/1), Counteract (12/1), Mr Washington (14/1), The Real Jet (22/1), Eurkash (25/1), Eureu Du Boulay (33/1)

CRYSTAL MOON went close to making a winning chase bow at Ludlow on his return despite an error-prone round of jumping which suggests he can defy this sort of mark. Colemanstown Lad has taken well to this sphere and is another to consider, while the same can also be said for Largy Nights.
