5/1
Good second at Ludlow on penultimate outing but was an uneasy favourite and wasn't in the same form when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, soft, 10/3) 14 days ago. Not ruled out if able to get back on track.

Ended lengthy drought for yard when improving to easily score in 10-runner handicap chase at this course (25.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Can give another good account under penalty.

Returned lame when last seen at Ludlow, in front when all but coming down at 3 out. That would have represented a good performance if not for late error, and merits respect from same mark if none the worse.

9/2
Sole win came over 25f at this course. Back to form when third of 11 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) but consistency has never been his strong point and others make slightly more appeal after 6-month absence on first run after leaving Nigel Hawke.

Forecasts

Family Pot (11/8), On The Platform (2/1), Rooster Cogburn (2/1), Wavecrest (9/2), Judex Lefou (5/1), Nyoufsea (80/1)

Verdict

A decent contest, in which ROOSTER COGBURN is fancied to defy a penalty on a rare outing beyond 2m, having scored impressively at that trip here on his latest start. On The Platform would have gone close if not for a late error last time and is respected from the same mark, whilst another recent course winner Family Pot is respected down in trip.
